  2. Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to ensure that electronic equipment is developed and delivered 'On Time, On Cost, On Quality.'
  3. Provide leadership and technical direction throughout the project lifecycle, balancing cost, time, and performance objectives.
  4. Ensure designs meet stringent requirements for safety, reliability, and efficiency, particularly in high-performance and safety-critical environments.
  5. Manage technical risks and issues, proactively identifying solutions and adapting to changing project dynamics.
  6. Work closely with internal stakeholders and customers, ensuring clear communication and providing expert guidance on electronic design and architectural considerations.
  7. Lead efforts to optimise the packaging, thermal management, and overall design for high-performance electronic equipment.
  8. Collaborate with teams across disciplines to address the unique challenges of designing for distributed power networks, sensitive data handling, and compact systems.

Required Skills and Qualifications

  • Educated to degree level (or equivalent) with a strong Electronics focus and significant experience in:
  • Digital electronics and microprocessor systems
  • Power electronics for distributed power networks
  • Designing equipment for safety-critical and harsh environments
  • Designing systems for handling sensitive customer data
  • Understanding of software and firmware development techniques
  • Compact packaging and thermal management for high-performance electronics
  • Familiarity with System on Chip (SoC) technologies, RF, Signal Processing, and Software Defined Radio would be beneficial.
  • Experience in EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and Environmental Design for robust system performance would be advantageous.
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to influence and inspire multidisciplinary teams.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical requirements into clear, actionable deliverables.
  • Proactive decision-making abilities in dynamic, fast-paced environments.

Salary and Benefits

The salary range for this position is estimated to be between £65,000 and £90,000 per annum, depending on experience. In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including a bonus up to 21% of base salary, pension contributions up to 14%, and enhanced parental leave.
