Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled and expert Electronic Systems Engineering Manager with a strong background in digital and analogue electronics and embedded software development. This role is critical in leading the design, integration, and validation of sophisticated electronic systems for our innovative products.

The ideal candidate will have a systems-level approach and hands-on experience working across the entire development lifecycle from requirements capture through to design, prototyping, testing, and production support. They will be a shown people manager with a passion for mentoring and developing their team.

In this role your responsibilities will be:

  • Lead development team in system-level design and architecture of embedded electronic products integrating digital, analogue, and software components.
  • Develop detailed system specifications, requirements, and interface definitions in collaboration with team members.
  • Design, simulate, and verify digital and analogue circuits for performance, reliability, and compliance.
  • Develop and debug embedded software/firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers and real-time operating systems (RTOS).
  • Integrate hardware and software subsystems, ensuring efficient performance and system-level functionality.
  • Participate in DFMEA, design reviews, and regulatory compliance (EMC, safety standards).
  • Work closely with multi-functional teams (mechanical, manufacturing, quality) to transition designs into production.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior engineers.
  • Define and implement product validation and verification plans to ensure designs meet performance, safety, and reliability requirements.
  • Develop test procedures, test cases, and validation tools for functional, environmental, and compliance testing.

Who you are:

You provide timely and conducive information to individuals across the organisation. You maintain your motivation and help others persist in achieving results. You analyse multiple and diverse sources of information to define problems accurately before moving to solutions.

  • Strong hands-on experience in digital and analogue circuit design, including ADCs, DACs, op-amps, power supplies, and signal conditioning.
  • Expertise in embedded software development using C/C++ and experience with common toolchains (Keil, GCC, IAR, etc.).
  • Experience with real-time systems, RTOS, communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet), and debugging tools (JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
  • Shown experience in system integration, product validation, and multidisciplinary development environments.
  • Familiarity with PCB design tools (Altium, OrCAD, KiCad) and simulation tools (LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink).
  • Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications that will set you apart:

  • Experience of wireless communication (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, etc.).
  • Knowledge of ISO 60079 (particularly design for intronsic safety), or similar safety-critical development standards.
  • Background in product development for medical, automotive, aerospace, or industrial automation sectors.#
