By 2035, it is estimated that a colossal 1 trillion connected devices will be live across the globe. This introduces a new, complex web of security threats to people, lives, and connected cities.

At ANGOKA, we are focused on the security of critical machine-to-machine (M2M)

communications particularly across Smart Cities and Smart Mobility. Our ground-breaking, quantum-safe solutions offer device identity protection, communication integrity and data provenance by creating trusted connections, even over untrustworthy networks.

“Smart”, innovative systems that are not trustworthy will fail to gain the confidence of users and will not be adopted commercially. Fortunately, commercial deployment and the consequent social and economic benefits of these systems can be unlocked by ANGOKA’s high-grade, quantum-safe cyber-security solutions.

Why join our talented team:

As we continue to create breakthroughs at the forefront of technology, we are looking for an ambitious Hardware Technician to join some of the industry’s brightest minds dedicated to developing hardware and software authentication and encryption solutions.

As a hardware technician, you will be key to ensuring that ANGOKA's hardware products are built, tested, and maintained to the highest standards, supporting the development, troubleshooting, and optimisation of our secure communication devices. Your role will involve hands-on assembly, testing, and quality control, as well as collaborating with engineering teams to refine and improve product performance.

What we are looking for:

● 2+ years experience working in an electronics workshop/lab environment

● Experience and skills soldering down to 0402 sized components. Both hand soldering and using reflow equipment.

● Experience with creating cable harnesses and wire crimping

● Experience with a range of test equipment (Oscilloscopes, Logic Analysers, PSUs Multimeters etc)

● Proficient at electronics fault-finding and repair

● Experience with mechanical assembly

● A collaborative mindset. Strong problem solving skills and an eagerness to learn

It would be great if you had any of the following, but not essential:
