- Help engineers work through technical problems by asking the right questions and organising a clear route to resolution.
- Work closely with internal teams across development, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, compliance and project delivery, while also supporting supplier and contract manufacturer communication.
The experience you'll bring to the team:
- A background in electronics, hardware, embedded systems, firmware or a closely related discipline.
- Experience leading, managing or mentoring engineers in product development and electronics, hardware, embedded software or firmware.
- An understanding of why process, documentation, traceability and controlled delivery matter, especially in a regulated, safety‐critical or highly controlled product development environment.

- Attractive salary DOE
- Annual salary review
- 10% combined company pension
- Flexible start/finish around core hours
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays
