The Company

Step into a global technology powerhouse shaping the future of photonics, lasers, and advanced optical systems.

If you’re energised by high‑performance engineering, complex technical challenges, and contributing to technologies that genuinely move industries forward, this is an exceptional environment to grow, influence, and lead

The Role

As the Electronics Engineering Manager, you’ll take responsibility of a talented electronics team, guiding them through the design and development of next‑generation products. This isn’t just a management role — it’s a chance to shape the technical direction, strengthen engineering discipline, and bring clarity and cohesion to a team working at the cutting edge of photonics innovation.

You’ll work closely with Engineering Managers, the Director of R&D, and a European electronics group to align practices, elevate standards, and ensure the team operates with a unified vision. Your leadership will help create a more structured, collaborative, and forward‑looking engineering culture — one where people know the mission, understand the expectations, and feel empowered to deliver their best work.

You’ll also take technical and project ownership of a major Defence‑sector programme, leading timelines, customer engagement, and engineering delivery. Experience in Defence or similarly regulated environments will be a strong advantage.

  * Ensure accurate documentation and release of work through PLM/PDM and internal systems.

  * Provide clear technical direction, ownership, and leadership across electronics and software development.

Your Background

  * Degree in a relevant Engineering discipline.

  * Extensive experience developing electronics or firmware for embedded systems across the full product lifecycle.

  * Proven leadership experience — able to guide, motivate, and bring structure to a team of engineers.

  * Strong track record of aligning teams, driving strategy, and embedding effective engineering practices.

  * Knowledge of modern electronic and software technologies.
