About the Role Vizzia supports 250 local authorities with hardware solutions such as cameras, stations, and accessories, all deployed in real-world settings. With a goal to reach 450 authorities by the end of 2026, the company is scaling up both its reach and its technical ambitions. The next phase brings a significant hardware challenge: delivering new product iterations on schedule, meeting industrial-grade quality, and building technical foundations for large-scale deployment. Vizzia recently secured €30M in Series B funding and is moving quickly to expand its impact. The Hardware R&D team covers electronics, mechanics, and firmware development. Vizzia is seeking a senior technical leader who can shape architecture, set high standards, and ensure lab work translates to reliable products in the field. This role works directly with David, Head of Hardware, and collaborates closely with the hardware team in Paris. Main Responsibilities Architecture and Technical Decisions Own system architecture across electronics, mechanics, and firmware, balancing performance, cost, and maintainability. Guide technical decisions in high-speed design and embedded systems, providing clear rationales. Anticipate EMC, CE, and NDAA certification requirements from the start of each project. Aim for simplicity in design, removing unnecessary complexity. Industrialization and Quality Integrate DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFT (Design for Test) constraints early in the design process. Develop and enforce validation plans that go beyond lab testing, including functional, environmental, EMC, and field tests. Prepare thorough industrial documentation for production, such as BOM, Gerber files, test reports, and procedures. Manage BOM costs and secure key components by setting up dual sourcing strategies. Lead go/no-go reviews before each hardware release and make final decisions. Technical Standards and Team Development Set and uphold high engineering standards for the hardware team, covering documentation, validation, design reviews, and best practices. Act as a technical reference for junior and mid-level engineers, helping them tackle complex challenges.
