Head of Electronics - Medical Device in London

An innovative medical technology company is developing next-generation, non-invasive monitoring technology designed to improve how clinicians diagnose and treat serious health conditions. This is an opportunity to join a highly ambitious team working on complex, real-world engineering challenges with the potential to make a meaningful impact on patient care globally.

The business is looking for an Electronics Engineering Manager to lead electronics development across a sophisticated medical device platform. This is a hands-on leadership role combining technical delivery, team management, and engineering operations. You will play a key role in designing complex hardware, shaping development roadmaps, improving engineering processes, and supporting the transition from prototype through to manufacture.

The role

You will lead the development of mixed-signal electronic systems at the core of an advanced medical device, while managing and mentoring a small team of electronics engineers. The role will suit someone who enjoys staying close to the detail technically, while also building structure, capability, and quality across a growing hardware function.

Key responsibilities

• Own electronics development roadmaps in line with product and system requirements
• Lead the end-to-end design of complex mixed-signal hardware, including high-speed digital and low-noise analogue circuitry
• Oversee system integration, hardware bring-up, verification, and performance validation
• Manage and mentor a team of electronics engineers, setting priorities and supporting individual development
• Support FPGA development across the product lifecycle, working on architecture, integration, and bring-up alongside specialist engineers
• Drive PCB design and delivery, including multilayer and HDI boards, with a focus on signal integrity, power integrity, and design for manufacture
• Ensure engineering work is developed in line with relevant medical device standards and quality processes
• Support the transition from prototype to production, working closely with manufacturing partners and suppliers
• Establish and maintain scalable engineering processes, SOPs, toolchains, and best practices
• Oversee core engineering infrastructure, including design tools, libraries, repositories, lab equipment, and external contractors

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years’ experience in electronics engineering, with at least 2 years in a team lead or engineering management capacity
• Strong track record in mixed-signal hardware design, including high-speed digital and analogue systems
• Experience with high-speed interfaces such as LVDS, JESD204B, SerDes, and associated PCB design challenges
• Proven background in real-time data acquisition or processing systems
• Experience developing electronics in a regulated environment such as medical devices or another highly controlled industry
• Knowledge of relevant standards such as IEC 60601-1, ISO 14971, and ISO 13485
• Experience leading, mentoring, and developing engineers within a high-performing team
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across software, mechanical, manufacturing, and quality teams
• Exposure to FPGA-based systems is essential, with the ability to work effectively on FPGA-related development and integration
• Deep FPGA design expertise is desirable rather than essential

Desirable experience

• Stronger FPGA background using Xilinx/AMD tools such as Vivado
• RTL coding experience in VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog
• Experience with DSP pipelines in FPGA fabric
• Familiarity with Linux, Python, or C/C++
• Background in optical, photonics, or advanced sensing technologies
• Continuous improvement training such as Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt

Working environment & benefits

This is a hybrid role based in Central London, with the team typically onsite 4 days per week and one flexible day working from home. The package includes:

• Equity participation
• Salary sacrifice pension
• Private medical, dental, and vision cover
• Life assurance
• Mental health support
• Unlimited holiday plus bank holidays
• One week of remote working per quarter
• Daily lunch allowance and late-working evening meal support
• Fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks in the office
• Wellbeing rewards and learning support, including access to professional development resources

AI-enabled ways of working are a core part of the engineering culture, so the successful person will be someone who actively embraces new tools to improve collaboration, efficiency, and delivery. Get in touch to learn more about this opportunity in a fast-moving, mission-led MedTech environment.
