Lead a team of electronics engineers using Agile methods (daily stand-ups, sprint planning).

*

Develop and communicate design strategies aligned with company and product goals.

*

Provide mentoring, training plans, and technical guidance to team members.

*

Present design proposals and solutions to internal stakeholders at project reviews.

Product Design & Development

*

Design and develop both digital and analog power/control circuits.

*

Research and implement cutting-edge electronics and power technologies.

*

Manage designs from initial schematic and layout through prototyping, verification, and product release.

*

Develop simulation and modelling of electronic systems using mathematical tools.

*

Ensure compliance with relevant safety and quality standards throughout the design process.

*

Maintain clear documentation and reports in accordance with internal procedures.

New Product Introduction & Lifecycle Support

*

Translate product requirements into practical engineering solutions while considering commercial constraints.

*

Coordinate across functions (production, test, procurement) to ensure designs are optimised for manufacturing (DFx).

*

Manage component selection for performance, cost, and lifecycle (obsolescence planning).

*

Provide technical support for existing products, troubleshooting hardware/firmware issues in collaboration with internal stakeholders or third-party vendors.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

*

Work closely with R&D partnerships including academic collaborators and innovation centres.

*

Support software/firmware teams in integrating control algorithms into new product designs.

*

Interface with subcontractor design teams and third-party systems as needed.
