pureLiFi Redundancy Read
GRW Scout
Candidate read · Prepared for Katie Hydes, GRW Talent · Internal · 2 September 2026
pureLiFi Ltd, Edinburgh · in administration since Monday 1 September

Forty-two deep-tech people hit the Edinburgh market at once. Call the engineers this week.

pureLiFi ran out of cash after a costly switch from licensing its patents to building its own hardware. BTG (Kenny Craig and Kevin Mapstone) were appointed joint administrators on Monday and all 42 staff at the Leith office were made redundant. This read names 35 of them, says who has market pull, and lists the live adverts they could walk into, local and remote.

Engineers first, leadership last, and watch the visa clock
The pool is scarce-skill, local, and other agencies will be on it by Friday

Twenty of the 35 are engineers or researchers, most with a PhD or more than a decade in optics, RF, embedded or FPGA work. Edinburgh's photonics and defence employers are advertising exactly those skills this month, at £60k to £100k for the RF and electronics roles. That group places fast and pays the best fees. Ring them in the order below.

About 8 of the 35 may be on Skilled Worker visas (guess from career history, not confirmed). If so they have 60 days from the redundancy date to find a licensed sponsor, which makes them the most urgent calls and rules out unlicensed small employers. Ask on the first call.

The C-suite (CEO, CCO, SVP Sales) are London, Oxford and California based and will self-place. The CFO and the CMCO are the two senior placements worth a retained conversation. BTG may sell the patents and product line as a going concern; a buyer would rehire a core of the engineers, so a call to the administrators is worth ten minutes.

Today

Pedro Mendes Ruiz (RF), Brian Murray and Toby Jeffreys (optics), Garry Widley (FPGA), Sufyan Islim and Cheng Chen (wireless standards). Six calls, all scarce-skill.

This week

The embedded four (Hemanth, Akash, Rajas, Faraz), the hardware designers (Gavin, Byron, Michael, Thomas) and Alan Kitching. Ask every one about sponsorship.

Next week

Operations, marketing and legal: Karen, Annabel, Tham, Anna, Jennifer. Then Colin Gove and Sarah Scace as senior searches. Courtesy call to Mostafa Afgani for the inside view.

The people

Grouped by what they do. The pull label is my read of how quickly the market will absorb each person: strong means other recruiters will find them within days, steady means a normal quarter, slow means niche or out of area. Tenure is from their own profile. Everything here comes from public LinkedIn pages and Companies House.

Optics and photonics

3

The scarcest skills in the building. Edinburgh and Glasgow have a real photonics cluster (Coherent, Leonardo, STMicro, M Squared, Skylark, Edinburgh Instruments, Craft Prospect), and these three will be gone in weeks.

Brian Murray Strong pull
Senior Optoelectronics Engineer·since Jan 2024·Edinburgh

PhD in silicon photonics (Tyndall), three years characterising SPAD sensors at STMicro Edinburgh before pureLiFi, promoted to senior in March. STMicro, Leonardo and any photonics house will take his call. Ring first.

Shenjie Huang Strong pull
Optoelectronics Engineer·since Jul 2024·Edinburgh

PhD and six-year postdoc in optical wireless at Edinburgh, single-photon receiver specialist, published in IEEE Transactions. Research-grade. Natural fit for a university spin-out, Fraunhofer CAP, or a quantum-comms firm. Check right-to-work timing.

Toby Jeffreys Strong pull
Optical Design Engineer·since Sep 2024·Edinburgh

Hands-on optics builder: laser alignment at M Squared, QKD module at Craft Prospect, senior R&D at Skylark Lasers. Every Scottish laser and space-optics firm knows this CV. Short shelf life on the market.

Wireless systems and research

5

Five PhD-level wireless people. Two carry IEEE 802.11 standards weight, which is rare and sells to chipset and telecoms R&D houses anywhere in the UK, including remote.

Mohamed Sufyan Islim Strong pull
Advanced Technology Manager·since Mar 2024·Edinburgh

PhD, CEng, vice-chair of an IEEE 802.11 task group, 46 papers. A standards lead, not just an engineer. Sells to Qualcomm, Nokia, Ericsson, BT Research, or a Cambridge wireless consultancy, and most of those hire remote for this profile.

Cheng Chen Strong pull
Senior System Engineer·since May 2024·Edinburgh

Wireless PHY researcher (Strathclyde, Cambridge), MIMO, machine learning for comms, 802.11bb standardisation. Same buyer list as Sufyan. Check right-to-work timing.

Intern to R&D engineer over nine years, ran the H2020 project technical work, MATLAB testbeds, PHY definition for 802.11. Loyal, one-employer CV. Will want a stable mid-size firm, not another start-up.

Embedded and software

4

The most portable group and the one where remote roles are realistic. Embedded Linux and C/C++ demand in Edinburgh is steady and UK-remote demand is strong.

Hemanth Kumar N Strong pull
Senior Embedded Systems Engineer·since Oct 2024·Edinburgh (profile still says Brentwood)

Twelve years embedded C and networking protocols, Sky and Comcast set-top work before pureLiFi. Moved north for this job, so remote or a return south are both on the table. Check right-to-work timing.

Akash Soragaon Strong pull
Senior Software Engineer·since Jul 2022·Rosyth, Fife

Nine years embedded software, Sky and Tata Elxsi, promoted to senior in January. Lives in Fife, so Rosyth, Dunfermline and remote all work. Check right-to-work timing.

Rajas Joshi Strong pull
Embedded Systems Engineer·since Jul 2024·Edinburgh

Linux kernel drivers, BSPs, device tree, FreeRTOS on ARM, studying an MSc in robotics alongside. Exactly the embedded Linux profile the agencies are advertising this month. Check right-to-work timing.

Garry Widley Strong pull
Lead Digital Design Engineer (FPGA)·since Aug 2024·Kinross

Thirty-four years, VHDL, multi-FPGA and complex PCB, holds a patent, led firmware profession at Raytheon Glenrothes. Raytheon will take him back and so will Leonardo. Fife and Perth commute, so Glenrothes suits.

Gavin Balmer Strong pull
Senior Electronics Hardware Design Engineer·since Mar 2023·Edinburgh

Eleven years, lead digital designer at LumiraDx, product development at MR Solutions. Med-tech and instrumentation employers in the central belt are the obvious call.

Pedro Mendes Ruiz Strong pull

Leonardo and Calnex before pureLiFi, low-power microcontroller layout through to simulation tooling. Leonardo Edinburgh is a straightforward return.

Hardware Engineer·since Nov 2022·Glasgow

MEng distinction (RGU), four years here after a small East Kilbride design house. Glasgow-based, so Coherent, Thales and the Glasgow electronics firms rather than Edinburgh.

Thomas Gashi Steady
Hardware Engineer (graduate)·since Jun 2024·Edinburgh

MEng distinction (Heriot-Watt), two years of Altium PCB design and board bring-up. Only 52 LinkedIn connections, so he will not be found by other agencies. Easy junior placement.

Alan Kitching Steady
Engineering Project Manager and Product and Industrial Design Manager·since Oct 2019·Edinburgh

Thirty years: fourteen at Shore Design (medical device consultancy), manufacturing at Agilent, then seven here running engineering projects and industrial design. Engineering manager or programme manager at a product company. SeeByte is advertising exactly this.

Head of Business Systems, Environment and Quality Manager·since Apr 2023·Edinburgh

ISO quality systems, ERP and business systems, head of quality at Amp X before. Quality manager or business systems lead for any Scottish manufacturer chasing ISO 9001 or 14001.

Tham Dang Steady
Operations Planner and Procurement Specialist·since Apr 2023·Glasgow

MCIPS, global procurement at Samsung, electronics component buying. Procurement and supply-chain roles are the deepest local advert pool this month. Glasgow or hybrid.

Intellectual Property Officer·since Sep 2024·Peebles

IP and R&D partnerships at Canon Medical and Toshiba Medical for a decade. Niche. IP manager posts are few; university tech-transfer offices and patent firms are the route. Will take time.

Karen Dowds Steady
Office Manager·since Jan 2013·Edinburgh

Thirteen years running the pureLiFi office, STMicro and NHS before. Fifty office-manager adverts within forty miles this month. Straightforward, and she will be loyal to whoever moves fast.

Marketing and legal

4

Small team. The CMCO is a senior placement; the two marketing juniors are quick local fills.

Sarah Scace Steady
Chief Marketing and Communications Officer·since Sep 2016·Edinburgh

Ten years building the LiFi brand, founding member of the Light Communications Alliance, 1,900 followers. Head of marketing for a Scottish deep-tech scale-up, or fractional CMO. Retained-search territory.

Anna Myradova Steady
Marketing Executive·since Jun 2024·Edinburgh

Social and content marketing, four years at Zettle by PayPal in Edinburgh before. Plenty of marketing executive adverts locally. Quick fill.

Marketing Associate·since Oct 2025·Edinburgh

Part-time associate alongside a Heriot-Watt MSc finishing this year. Student, not a placement priority. Check right-to-work timing.

Sole Legal Counsel (part-time)·since Oct 2019·Stirling

Fifteen years commercial in-house, Hymans Robertson and Stirling Council. Part-time and consultancy history, so a fractional or hybrid in-house counsel role suits. Two live Scottish in-house posts this month.

Leadership

6

Will mostly place themselves through their own networks. Worth a courtesy call: they know where the engineers should go and who the trade buyers of the IP are.

Colin Gove Steady
Chief Financial Officer·since Mar 2022·Edinburgh

Serial SME CFO: Trig Avionics, Optoscribe, Cooper Software. Knows the Scottish investor circuit. Edinburgh CFO and FD adverts are live (Bright Ascension, two retained FD searches). The one leadership fee that is realistic for GRW.

Chief Product and Technology Officer, co-founder·since Jan 2012·Edinburgh

Co-founder, CTO since 2016. Likely to follow the IP into whatever buyer BTG finds, or start again. Not a placement, but the best source on where each engineer should land.

GM, Defence and Industrial Systems·since Jan 2022·Edinburgh

Defence sales and engineering management, Raytheon and Denchi background. Profile lists overlapping current roles, so confirm what he actually holds. Defence BD roles around the central belt.

Chief Executive Officer·since Oct 2025·London

CEO for eleven months after nine years as strategy officer, Wolfson and Motorola before. London-based. Not a Scottish placement.

Chief Commercial Officer·since Sep 2025·Oxford

Carrier and OEM sales, BT, Orange, Telefonica. London and Oxford. Will self-place through telecoms contacts.

SVP Global Sales·since Mar 2020·California

US-based semiconductor sales executive. Out of scope for GRW.
