Do you enjoy working at the forefront of technology, overseeing the full product lifecycle, and mentoring a talented engineering team?

If so, this role could be the perfect next step for you.
We're supporting a Cambridge based client in the search for an Electronics Product Lead to drive development across both current and next-generation hardware platforms.

  • Working hands-on across power, analogue, digital, embedded, and mixed-signal electronics.
  • Designing robust hardware solutions that meet EMC and regulatory requirements.
  • Driving full product lifecycle delivery: concept → requirements → design → verification → manufacturing release.
  • Collaborating with system, mechanical, software, and process engineers to solve cross-disciplinary challenges.
  • Implementing DFM/DFT, DFMEA, MTBF analysis, and reliability testing.
  • Developing validation and test tools to support commissioning and manufacturing.
  • Mentoring junior engineers and fostering best-practice design processes.

What You'll Bring

  • Degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).
  • A proven track record delivering complex electronic products in telecoms, industrial, aerospace, defence, or similarly high-reliability environments.
  • Strong experience in analogue + digital circuit design and mixed-signal PCB assembly.
  • Solid understanding of EMC, compliance standards, and design optimisation.
  • Hands-on experience across the full electronics design lifecycle.
  • Excellent communication skills and confidence working with cross-functional teams.

Why this role?
You'll play a pivotal part in shaping industry-leading hardware, working across diverse technologies and guiding a team that's passionate about engineering excellence. Our client is at a critical point in their journey, where growth is projected to continue. This is a great time to get on board and build your career.
