Company Description

SnifferBots is a Pune-based IoT hardware company on a mission to stop electrical fires before they start.

Electrical control panels and switchgear are protected against overcurrent, overvoltage, and short-circuits — but not against the slow build-up of heat, humidity, and gas that actually causes most panel fires. SnifferBots closes that gap. Our sensing units install inside each feeder compartment, continuously monitor conditions in real time, and can proactively trip a feeder before a fault becomes a fire, with live alerts on a connected app.

We're a small, hands-on team building hardware that gets deployed inside real electrical infrastructure, and we're now developing our next-generation device. If you want to build safety-critical technology that protects people, equipment, and uptime, we'd love to hear from you.

Role Description

SnifferBots builds IoT hardware that detects the early warning signs of electrical fires — abnormal heat, humidity, and gas — inside control panels and switchgear, and can proactively trip a feeder before a fault becomes a fire. We're building our next-generation device and looking for a hands-on engineer to help take it from prototype to product.

What you'll do

- Build and iterate on hardware prototypes (ESP32-based) integrating temperature, humidity, and gas sensors
- Write and maintain firmware in C/C++ (Arduino framework): sensor logic, alarm thresholds, relay control, OTA updates, offline data buffering
- Integrate the device with a cloud database (Firebase) for real-time and historical data logging




- Build automated SMS (MSG91) and email alerts for warning/critical conditions
- Debug across the full stack — sensors, firmware, and cloud connectivity
- Work directly with the founder on design decisions and the path to a manufacturable product

What you bring

- Solid C/C++ programming; hands-on with the Arduino IDE and ESP32 (or ESP8266/STM32)
- Practical experience with I2C, SPI, UART, and WiFi
- Basic electronics skills — reading datasheets, breadboard debugging, multimeter use
- Some exposure to cloud/IoT platforms or REST APIs (Firebase, AWS IoT, ThingsBoard, or similar) — academic or personal projects count
- A degree (or final-year standing) in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Engineering, or a related field

Good to have

- A personal or academic project combining ESP32/Arduino + sensors + a cloud backend — show us what you've built
- Basic PCB design exposure (KiCad, EasyEDA, or Eagle)
- Familiarity with RTOS concepts, MQTT, or BLE

Why join us

- Full ownership of a real product from prototype to launch — not one layer of a large team's stack
- Direct mentorship and collaboration with the founder
- Build safety-critical hardware that ships into real electrical installations

Experience level: 1–3 years — solid fresher project portfolios welcome

Compensation: 4 to 6Lacs PA To apply: send your resume plus links to any relevant projects (GitHub, portfolio, or a short demo video) to [email protected] with the subject line "IoT Engineer — SnifferBots."
