Recruitment led by an engineer

RunTime is engineering-led recruitment, founded by embedded engineer Lance Harvie.

We specialise in embedded systems, firmware, embedded Linux, FPGA and electronics, with related work across controls, robotics and engineering leadership.

We recruit across Australia, New Zealand and the USA.

We start by understanding what you’re building, what the engineer needs to own and the technical depth the role requires.

Then we look beyond the CV: what candidates built, what they personally owned, what broke and how they debugged it.

We challenge briefs when the scope, salary or expectations don’t line up.

The goal is simple: a focused shortlist, clear evidence of technical capability and better hiring decisions.
