We're working with a forward-thinking engineering company based in Derby to find a Lead Electronics Engineer who's ready to take the reins on technically demanding projects. This is a hands-on, leadership-level role for someone who wants to make a real impact.
What You'll Be Doing
* Leading end-to-end electronics projects: hardware, firmware, embedded systems, and control.
* Taking ownership of designs from concept through to delivery and customer integration.
* Mentoring junior engineers and apprentices, helping shape the next generation of talent.
* Interfacing directly with customers to gather requirements and troubleshoot in the real world.
* Driving technical decisions, risk assessments, and project planning.

* Work-Life Balance: 37-hour week with a Friday lunchtime finish.
* Time Off: 28 days' holiday (including bank holidays), with 3 reserved for Christmas.
* Room to Grow: Influence projects, innovate solutions, and take real ownership.
* Tech You'll Care About: Work on legacy systems and bleeding-edge electronics, often on the same day.
Essential
What You'll Bring
* Strong hands-on electronics experience across hardware and firmware.
* Confident working with high voltages, power systems, and risk-sensitive environments.
* Able to balance multiple complex projects with real-world constraints.
* Excellent communicator- comfortable talking tech with engineers or project goals with clients.
Desirable (but Not Essential)
* Embedded C/C++/Python development (8- or 32-bit targets).
* Firmware standards (MISRA) and debugging tools (JTAG, SWD).
* PCB layout (e.g., KiCad), SPICE simulation, or high-speed digital design.
* Experience with mission-critical or ruggedised equipment (rail, defence, aerospace).
* Strong workshop/lab skills; soldering, harness building, machining, etcBefore You Apply
