About this role
IoT & Embedded engineers we place.
Our IoT engineers have shipped products on real factory floors, real fields, and real homes — not just on dev kits. They cover firmware, connectivity, edge processing, and the cloud and dashboard layers above. Hire one to plug a gap, hire a team to take a product from prototype to thousands of devices in the field.
Skills & expertise
What our iot & embedded engineers cover.
-
- 02
Connectivity
BLE 5.3, LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi 6, NB-IoT, LTE-M, Thread, Zigbee. MQTT, CoAP, OCPP. We pick the radio deliberately, not by accident.
- 03
Edge & on-device AI
TinyML on microcontrollers, sensor fusion, anomaly detection, vision on crossover MCUs. Quantization-aware training and edge profiling.
- 04
Cloud platforms
AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud IoT. Time-series ingestion at scale (TimescaleDB, InfluxDB). Fleet provisioning, identity, and OTA pipelines.
- 05
Operations & telemetry
Operator dashboards, alerting that does not flap, runbooks for every alert. Observability before the first device ships.
- 06
Hardware bring-up
PCB review, power profiling, EMC pre-scan, factory test fixtures. Ready for the first 100 units and the first 10,000.
Hiring models
Three ways to engage a iot & embedded engineer.
-
Most popular Dedicated developer
A senior engineer working 40 hours a week as part of your team. Daily standups, your tools, your timezone overlap.
- Full-time on your engagement
- Direct Slack / standup integration
- Monthly billing on time-and-materials
- Replacement guarantee in first two weeks
-
Part-time / hourly
Specialist depth on demand for short-cycle work — audits, spikes, code review, migration plans. Minimum 20 hours per month.
- 20–80 hours per month
- Hourly logging with weekly summary
- Same vetting as dedicated engineers
- Stop or scale up at any month boundary
-
Fixed-scope project
Bounded engagement with a defined deliverable, milestone billing, and a clear exit. Best when scope is stable and timeline matters.
- Fixed-scope SOW with milestones
- Milestone-based billing
- Includes hypercare on launch
- Ideal for MVPs and audits
What sets us apart
Why hire from Diglogic.
-
Pre-vetted by senior engineers
Every engineer we place has cleared a senior-led technical screen — not an HR checklist. We rejected 96% of last year applicants for IoT roles.
-
On the keyboard in days, not weeks
Once you accept a CV, we onboard within 5 business days. No two-month notice periods, no bait-and-switch.
-
You meet who you hire
Same engineer on the technical interview, same engineer on the standup. No agency-style swaps mid-engagement.
-
Time-zone fit by design
IN, EU, US East/West coverage. We map a 4+ hour overlap with your team and stick to it.
-
Operability is the deliverable
Documentation, runbooks, and observability are part of every hand-off. You inherit a system, not a dependency.
-
Replacement guarantee
If an engineer is not the right fit in the first two weeks, we replace them at no cost. We have used the clause twice in five years.
Tech stack
Tools they reach for.
- ESP32
- STM32
- Nordic nRF
- Zephyr
- FreeRTOS
- BLE
- LoRaWAN
- NB-IoT
- AWS IoT
- Azure IoT
- TimescaleDB
- MQTT
Hiring process
Brief to first commit.
- 01
Tell us the role
Share the spec — required experience, stack, time-zone overlap, deadline. Ten minutes on a call or a written brief.
- 02
CVs in 48 hours
We send 2–4 pre-vetted CVs from engineers who actually fit, not just match keywords.
- 03
You interview
You run your own technical interview with the candidate. We facilitate; we do not edit.
- 04
Onboard within 5 days
Once you pick, the engineer is in your tools in five business days. Two-week trial period included.
FAQ
What teams ask before they hire.
How quickly can an engineer start?
Five business days from CV acceptance to first commit, in most cases. Hardware-availability dependencies (eval kits, vendor SDK access) can extend this — we flag those in the proposal.
Do you sign NDAs before discovery?
Yes. Mutual NDA is the first artifact in any conversation. We use information you share only to scope your project, never to train models or share with third parties.
Can the engineer travel on-site for hardware bring-up?
Yes, with notice. Travel is billed at cost. Many of our IoT engagements include 1–2 weeks on-site for early bring-up, then go remote.
What if we need a full team rather than one engineer?
We assemble cross-functional pods (firmware + cloud + mobile) for end-to-end IoT delivery. Same vetting standard at every seat.
Do you handle hardware design too, or just software?
We do PCB review, BOM input, and factory test fixtures. For schematic design and component selection beyond review, we partner with hardware specialists. We will tell you which is which in scoping.
