Join a Growing Engineering Team and Shape What Comes Next! This is your chance to step into a business that's scaling, investing, and building for the future. We're looking for an Engineering Manager with a strong hardware background who can guide, develop, and empower an already capable team - and help take them to the next level. If you enjoy combining technical depth with people leadership, this role gives you the space to do both. You'll be the steady hand in high‑level hardware discussions, the voice of experience in troubleshooting, and the driving force behind project delivery and cost‑reduction improvements. But above all, you'll be the person who shapes the team - coaching, recruiting, supporting, and creating an environment where great engineers can do their best work.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Leading and developing a talented hardware engineering team
- Bringing technical credibility to design reviews, decision‑making, and problem‑solving
- Supporting complex troubleshooting and guiding engineers through challenges
- Driving project delivery and ensuring technical milestones are met
- Identifying opportunities for cost reduction and process improvement
- Recruiting and onboarding new team members as the business continues to grow
- Building a positive, collaborative, high‑performing engineering culture
What You'll Bring:
- A solid background in hardware/electronics engineering
- Confidence in high‑level technical discussions and decision‑making
- Experience supporting troubleshooting and technical problem resolution
- A natural ability to lead, coach, and motivate engineers
- Experience delivering engineering projects in a product development environment
- A calm, structured, people‑focused leadership style
Why This Role Stands Out:
- You're joining a growing, forward‑thinking business
- You'll lead an experienced, capable team who value strong leadership
- You'll have real influence over technical direction, team development, and future capability
- You'll be part of a company that invests in its people and its products
This role requires the successful candidate to pass BPSS screening and meet the eligibility criteria for Security Check (SC) clearance.
