• Leading internal and external project teams, including subcontractors, and dealing with customers where needed
• Researching new technologies to keep the product roadmap current

What they're after

• Experience in a similar role, strong across schematic capture, PCB layout, analogue and digital circuit design, microcontrollers and simulation
• MEng in Electronic Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
• Someone who can lead and motivate, and juggle several projects at once
• Confident talking to technical and non-technical people alike
• Diligent, detail-driven, and genuinely bothered about hitting milestones

Nice to have

• Altium Designer
• MATLAB / Simulink / LabVIEW
