Job Description:

Electronics & Software Design Manager

South Wales - M4 Corridor

£70,000 - £85,000

Yolk Recruitment is managing a new opportunity for an Electronics Design Manager to join a growing advanced technology business with a strong record of developing, manufacturing and launching complex electronic products into global markets. This is a future proof business, the creator of a technology that defines a sector and that continues to invest in advancing their competitive lead, in new product development, manufacturing capability and future technologies.

This is a leadership role for someone who can get the best out of an experienced electronics and embedded firmware team, keep projects moving, improve how work is planned and delivered, and still support technical decision making when problems need support to resolve. You'll be leading teams of electronics and embedded firmware engineers, supporting new product development, existing product improvement, regulatory readiness and transfer into manufacture, in an environment that welcomes new ideas.

This is what you'll be doing as Electronics Design Manager

• You'll take responsibility for the day-to-day leadership and development of a mixed electronics and embedded firmware team, giving engineers the structure, support and challenge needed to deliver high quality work.
• You'll lead, coach and develop, driving project delivery across NPD, NPI, sustaining engineering, obsolescence and cost reduction activity. You'll help engineers work through technical problems by asking the right questions and organising a clear route to resolution, not expected to simply take on the problems yourself.
• You'll 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.
• The role would suit someone who has worked in a regulated, safety-critical or highly controlled product development environment, although the most important thing is an understanding of why process, documentation, traceability and controlled delivery matter.

And this is what you'll get in return

• Attractive salary DOE
• Annual salary review
• 10% combined company pension
• Flexible start/finish around core hours
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Company bonus
• Ongoing training and development
• Career development opportunities
