We are seeking an Engineering Manager – Electrical, Electronics & Firmware to oversee how engineering work flows through our business. This Engineering Manager – Electrical, Electronics & Firmware role is ideal for someone who enjoys coordinating multiple technical workstreams across electrical design, electronics hardware development and embedded firmware, ensuring projects run smoothly from planning through to delivery.

·Oversee multi‑project resource allocation, balancing priorities between hardware, embedded firmware and system engineering activities.
·Track budgets, forecasts and project costs, providing clear updates to senior leadership.
·Support engineering teams by smoothing communication, resolving bottlenecks and ensuring key dependencies are understood and planned for.
·Produce accurate management reports covering progress, risks, resourcing and delivery timelines.
·Encourage consistent engineering processes, documentation and quality-related practices across electrical, electronics and firmware teams.
To be successful as the Engineering Manager – Electrical, Electronics & Firmware, you will need:
·Experience managing engineering workflows within engineering projects, ideally in an electrical, electronics or embedded systems environment.
·Strong organisational and project‑coordination skills, ideally across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
·The confidence to follow high‑level discussions around circuits, hardware concepts, embedded firmware structures and system architecture.
·Experience overseeing budgets, resource planning, project reporting and cross-team communication.
·The ability to translate complex engineering progress into clear updates for leadership.
·A collaborative, structured approach to supporting engineers and improving delivery processes.
Why Join Us?
·Work closely with talented electrical, electronics and firmware engineers.
·Play a pivotal coordination role in a growing engineering-led business.
·Influence how projects are planned, resourced and delivered.
·Make a visible impact on efficiency, communication and engineering performance
