Principal Electronics Engineer

Marlow   Up to £85,000 Benefits   Hybrid Working

Are you a Principal Electronics Engineer looking for a role that offers far more than traditional electronics design?

This is an exciting opportunity for a Principal Electronics Engineer to take ownership of complex electronic products across the full product lifecycle, from concept and development through to production support and continuous improvement. As a Principal Electronics Engineer, you'll combine technical leadership with team management while working on highly sophisticated technology in a collaborative engineering environment.

The Role

As a Principal Electronics Engineer, you will:

• Lead the design, development and verification of advanced electronic systems.
• Work across the complete product lifecycle, from requirements capture through to production and ongoing support.
• Resolve manufacturing and production issues, ensuring products continue to perform at the highest level.
• Provide technical leadership across logic control unit and antenna switching unit product lines.
• Manage and mentor two engineers, including a Senior Electronics Design Engineer and Electronics Test Engineer.
• Drive engineering excellence, innovation and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams and key stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Senior or Principal Electronics Engineer.
• Strong electronics hardware design and development background.
• Experience with digital electronics, embedded systems, FPGA/CPLD technologies or related disciplines.
• Previous technical leadership, mentoring or line management experience.
• Ability to support products through design, development, manufacture and in-service support.
• Experience gained within aerospace, defence, communications, automotive, industrial or other high-technology sectors.
• Must be eligible for and capable of obtaining UK Security Clearance (SC).

Why Join?

Broader than a typical Principal Electronics Engineer position, with involvement across the full product lifecycle

Opportunity to combine hands-on engineering with leadership responsibilities

Manage and develop a small high-performing engineering team

Work on advanced electronic systems supporting mission-critical applications

Industry background is flexible, with applications welcomed from multiple engineering sectors

Flexible working arrangements including condensed hours over four days

Hybrid working with the option to work from home on Fridays

Salary up to £85,000 plus an excellent benefits package

If you're an ambitious Principal Electronics Engineer seeking a role where you can influence products, processes and people while remaining technically involved, we'd love to hear from you.
