 This role is to manage a small team of 4 Software Engineers, 3 of whom are embedded, and one is a Mobile/Apps developer.
   
 They are happy for this person to be based anywhere in England and work remotely.

 You will need a strong embedded software/Micros development background.

You must have remained very technical and be able to evaluate/structure software architecture, drive design review meetings, challenge engineers in design reviews etc. You will not be expected to write any code/individually contribute at that level.

 You will lead software strategy, software lifecycle processes, and delivery across multiple product programmes within a multidisciplinary R&D setting.
