Forward Deployed Operator - Hardware Engineering
About the role
--------------
Onodrim is building Europe's largest defence and industrial platform. We acquire specialist manufacturers in critical defence and dual-use supply chains, then invest behind their growth with capital, technology and operating know-how.
Forward Deployed Operators are Onodrim's people on the ground. You'll embed inside the companies we acquire – plants, lines, warehouses and the test bays behind them – and own one part of making them grow. For this role, that part is the hardware.
The manufacturers we buy run on equipment that is often decades old and still excellent at its job, with little instrumentation, controls that predate the people operating them, and no reliable data on how the machines and processes actually behave. The Forward Deployed Operator for Hardware Engineering changes that. You'll put sensing and monitoring onto lines and machines that have none, bring legacy equipment, controls and test systems up to the current state of the art, and get the resulting data into the hands of the people who run the plant and into Onodrim's platform – shipping something that works within weeks, on top of what is already there, and staying until it is used every day.
This is not a design-office job. One morning you'll be fitting a vibration sensor to a spindle with the maintenance technician; that afternoon you'll be reverse-engineering a controller nobody has documentation for; the next week you'll be commissioning a retrofit and training the shift that will own it. You'll work alongside the Forward Deployed Operators for Software and Production Engineering – they find where a plant loses value and build the software on top; you build the hardware underneath – and you'll deploy, where it fits, the sensing and compute products Onodrim's own R&D unit builds. What you learn on site flows back into what Onodrim builds next.
