In this role as a Head of Electronics and Embedded Software, you will be responsible for leading a team of 10 Embedded Software and Electronics Design Engineers. This will be a hands off role and you're primary objective will be to get the best out of the 10 Engineers, ensuring all projects are completed to a satisfactory standard, on time and in budget, with the support from the Programmes team. That being said, you will have to use your technical experience historically to aid with problem solving and guide the engineers through to find appropriate solutions. You will spend most of your time working on NPD/ NPI projects, but you will also be expected to support existing products with regards to sustaining activities, obsolescence and cost reduction activities.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Head of Electronics and Embedded Software to work for a growing company who are working with some of the most advanced technology available. With the ambitious, but realistic plans the company has forecast there will be lots of opportunities to develop and progress internally if this appeals.

This is an immediate requirement so if you have the required skills and experience then please get in touch with an updated copy of your CV. Either apply direct or contact Adam on (phone number removed).
