Job Description

At 1KOMMA5°, we connect and manage distributed energy devices at scale. As an IoT Hardware Engineer, you will play a central role in the definition, evolution, and lifecycle management of our 1K5 Heartbeat Gateway hardware, the edge device that securely connects thousands of energy assets to our cloud ecosystem. You will be the primary hardware owner within the team, being responsible for the gateway’s hardware architecture end-to-end while closely coordinating with developers, supply chain team, and certification partners. Working at the intersection of electronics design, embedded engineering, manufacturing, and compliance, you will ensure that our gateway hardware is reliable, scalable, cost-effective, and evolved at scale. Your work will directly impact the robustness, longevity, and regulatory readiness of the distributed energy infrastructure we deploy at scale.

Job Responsibility

  • Own the hardware architecture of our IoT gateway, from concept and component selection through production and lifecycle management
  • Work closely together with the product manager to define system-level requirements covering performance, reliability, security, manufacturability, and cost
  • Act as the main interface between hardware, embedded software, and manufacturing, ensuring tight alignment across disciplines
  • Oversee board-level validation, debugging, and failure analysis during prototyping, pilot runs, and field operation
  • Define and support hardware test strategies for production, including manufacturing flashing processes
  • Drive hardware-related certification activities (e.g. CE, EMC, safety, radio), working with external labs and internal stakeholders
  • Support secure hardware foundations, including secure boot enablement in collaboration with embedded software colleagues
  • Manage hardware revisions, BOM management, and supply-chain constraints over the product lifecycle

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience in hardware engineering for embedded or IoT systems
  • Proven experience owning hardware designs from specification through production
  • Strong experience coordinating and technically steering external hardware development partners
  • Solid understanding of embedded systems constraints and hardware–software interaction
  • Hands-on experience with hardware validation, debugging, and root-cause analysis
  • Practical exposure to certification processes and working with external test labs
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes, production testing, and supply-chain considerations
  • Ability to work autonomously as the hardware specialist within a cross-functional team
  • Strong analytical skills and a structured, detail-oriented working style
  • Clear and effective communicator in English (German is a plus)

Nice to have

  • Previous work on energy-related hardware
  • Prior involvement in field-return analysis and systematic hardware root-cause investigations
  • Experience contributing to cross-functional architectural decisions beyond a single discipline
  • Passion for climate tech and distributed energy systems

What we offer

  • You are part of a dynamic team with people who prove every day that they can make things happen and move companies forward with great positive impact
  • You move in flat hierarchies and have short decision-making paths. You can learn a lot quickly and get involved at different levels
  • You will be welcomed by a friendly and familiar team
  • You are part of the energy transition and recognize in your daily work what purpose it serves
  • You can work in one of our offices in Hamburg, Berlin or Munich
  • You create a healthy balance alongside your work and enjoy all the benefits of the EGYM Wellpass
  • Benefits and discounts are yours with Futurebens
  • Whether city bike or e-bike - be flexible with our job bike leasing and do something good for the environment at the same time
