A growing business in smart building and lighting control technology is looking for a senior, hands-on technical professional to be its senior technical reference point and lead problem-solver. This is not a design role, and it isn’t a desk-bound management one. It’s for someone who still loves getting into the detail - wiring up third party equipment, running and analysing logs, diagnosing faults, and writing the report that settles the question. When something misbehaves, or a third-party system won’t play nicely with everything around it, this is the person who works out exactly why. Alongside that, they’ll lead and mentor a small technical team and lend their expertise to the wider workshop.

What they’ll do:

  • Act as the senior technical point of reference for complex issues across products and projects
  • Diagnose compatibility and performance problems, then evidence the findings in clear technical reports
  • Oversee EMC testing and ensure compliance work is done properly
  • Lead and mentor a small team of engineers and technicians
  • Work hands-on across analogue and digital circuitry and low-level comms (RS232 / RS485)

What they’re looking for:

  • A strong electrical and electronic engineering background with the qualifications to match
  • Deep, practical experience in electronic product manufacturing and fault-finding
  • A solid grasp of EMC testing and compliance
  • Someone who leads through expertise - engineering skill first, people skills close behind
  • Experience with lighting controls (DALI, LED colour control, light sources) is a real plus, but it can be learnt by the right person

This is a five-days-on-site role for someone within a comfortable commute who wants to join an industry that’s growing fast.
