* Set the standards – Ensure compliance with industry regulations (IEC 62304, ISO 13485, etc.).
* Collaborate globally – Work alongside electronics, systems, quality, and R&D teams to deliver world-class products.
* Innovate and evolve – Promote best practices, continuous improvement, and cutting-edge development tools.

* Exposure to sectors such as medical devices, automotive, transport, healthcare, or professional services.
* Excellent leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills.
* A passion for building tech that improves lives.
* Degree in Software, Electronics, or a related field.
This is more than just another management role. It’s your opportunity to drive innovation, lead a high-impact team, and work on technology that truly makes a difference.
