Electronics Software Team Leader - Sheffield (Hybrid) - £55,000 KO2's client is hiring an Electronics Software Team Leader to guide a small but growing multidisciplinary team, combining embedded software know-how with real-world control design. This hybrid role, based in Sheffield, offers a fantastic opportunity to influence future technology in a business that's moving quickly towards connected systems and smarter infrastructure. We're looking for an experienced electronics engineer who brings strong hands-on skills in embedded software, plus some exposure to PLC programming and practical control system design. You'll be the go-to person for mentoring junior team members, code reviews, and setting up clear engineering processes, while still staying technically active. The ideal candidate is someone who understands how to deliver real-world solutions - not just from a textbook - and who's excited about shaping a team and product roadmap as we move toward more cloud-connected, intelligent systems. Your responsibilities: Lead and support a team of engineers working across embedded software and electronics Design, review, and maintain embedded software for control systems Review and support PLC code development, particularly structured text Bring practical experience in whole-system control design - not just isolated components Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, mechanical, and operations teams Establish and improve software release and quality processes What we're looking for: A strong background as an electronics engineer with commercial embedded software experience Some familiarity with PLC systems - ideally with experience reviewing or modifying code in a structured environment Someone who's built or contributed to the control design of full systems (not just programming within a narrow scope) A passion for mentoring and leading other engineers - this isn't just a management role, it's hands-on too Good communication skills, and a practical, pragmatic approach to engineering challenges While this role has a leadership aspect, it's also a great fit for a senior electronics engineer who's ready to step up and shape a team. If you've got experience with embedded software, know your way around a PLC, and are comfortable working across hardware and software, we want to hear from you. This is a genuinely exciting time to join KO2's client. With support from experienced leadership and a clear vision for the future, you'll be in a great position to build something meaningful - and bring your full skillset to the table. If you're an electronics engineer looking to step into a team leadership role while staying close to the code and making real impact in PLC, embedded software, and control system design, apply now.
