Lead Electronic Engineer
Norwich + Hybrid Work from Home
Up to £80,000 + Benefits
Fully Remote considered for the right candidate
KO2 is working with a fast-growing power electronics engineering business based in Norwich, developing power electronics products - including inverters, motor controllers, DC-DC converters and chargers - for automotive and adjacent sectors. As the business scales, hardware leadership has become a critical gap, and they're now looking to bring in a Lead Electronics Engineer.
The Role
This is very much a leadership role rather than a hands-on design position. The business already has strong technical depth across its engineering team, so what's needed is someone who can lead, coach, and get the best out of that team - managing risks and issues, coordinating delivery, and translating technical progress for the wider business.
As an early-stage, fast-growing SME, the right processes here look different to those at a large Tier 1 or OEM. You won't be expected to replicate the structure of a JLR or a BMW - instead, you'll need to recognise what 'good' looks like for a business at this stage and implement pragmatic processes that help the team deliver, without over-engineering it.
You'll lead a team of five electronics engineers plus a technician, working closely with senior leadership and cross-functional teams (including software/controls) to deliver robust power electronics products.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead, coach and develop a team of circa 4-5 hardware/electronics engineers and a technician
- Own risk and issue management across hardware and electronics development projects
- Implement engineering processes appropriate to a fast-growing SME environment, rather than imposing large-corporate process overhead
- Translate technical xgikmsk problems and project progress for senior leadership and other stakeholders
- Support and guide delivery of power electronics projects - inverters, motor controllers, DC-DC converters, chargers and similar - across automotive and other relevant sectors
- Leverage the existing technical expertise within the team, helping engineers solve problems rather than solving them yourself
- Collaborate closely with senior leadership on project direction and resourcing
