The Opportunity
I am supporting a leading defence innovator in their search for an accomplished Electronic Engineering Manager. This is a rare chance to shape high-integrity products at the forefront of national security, working with cutting-edge technologies and a team of exceptional engineers.
What You’ll Lead as Electronic Engineering Manager
* Ownership of electronic design strategy across advanced defence platforms.
* Management and development of a multidisciplinary electronics team (digital, analogue, power, FPGA, embedded).
* Delivery of robust, high-reliability electronic systems from concept to production.
* Technical governance, design assurance and continuous improvement of engineering processes.
* Collaboration with systems, software, mechanical and product teams to deliver integrated solutions.
* Oversight of design reviews, safety cases, verification/validation, compliance and certification.
* Shaping architecture decisions and driving innovation in sensors, communications, guidance or ruggedised electronics (dependent on programme).
What You’ll Bring as Electronic Engineering Manager
* A strong track record leading electronic engineering teams within defence, aerospace, or similarly regulated sectors.
* Deep expertise across digital and analogue design; familiarity with high-reliability, safety-critical or harsh-environment systems.
* Experience delivering complex programmes and owning engineering strategy.
* Excellent leadership, coaching and stakeholder management skills.
* Eligibility for security clearance and a passion for contributing to national defence capability.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Lead technology that genuinely matters.
* Influence product direction and engineering culture.
* Work with advanced hardware, sophisticated architectures and mission-critical design challenges.
* Join a high-performing organisation committed to technical excellence and long-term innovation.
