Location: Cambridgeshire

Are you an experienced Lead electronics engineer looking for a role that combines technical leadership, product innovation and strategic influence?
This position will see you working for an established technology and product development business that helps global organisations develop innovative products across healthcare, medical, consumer and industrial markets.
This is an opportunity to join a growing engineering team in a senior position where you'll remain hands-on technically whilst taking a leading role in project delivery, team development and client engagement.
Unlike many engineering environments, this position offers the chance to influence the complete journey from early-stage concept development through to commercialisation and manufacture.

The Role
As a Principal Electronics & Software Engineer, you'll take ownership of technically challenging product development programmes, providing leadership throughout the development lifecycle whilst remaining actively involved in electronic and embedded software design.
You'll work closely with clients, engineers and senior stakeholders to deliver innovative products, build long-term relationships and identify future opportunities for collaboration.
The role offers a diverse mix of:
 
Electronic system architecture and design
Embedded software development
Technical leadership and mentoring
Cross-functional product development
Client-facing project delivery
Commercial and business development activities  This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced Senior Engineer, Technical Lead or Principal Engineer looking to broaden their influence across technology, people and business.
What We're Looking For
 
Degree qualified in Electronic Engineering, Physics or a related discipline
Strong background in analogue and digital electronics design
Embedded software development experience using C/C++
Proven track record delivering products from concept through to manufacture
Experience leading engineers, projects or multidisciplinary teams
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
Commercial awareness and the ability to build trusted client relationships  Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This organisation combines the creativity and variety of a technology consultancy with a strong focus on delivering real-world products through to commercial reality.
Engineers are encouraged to take ownership, influence technical direction and build lasting client relationships whilst continuing to solve challenging engineering problems.
You'll be joining a growing business where your contribution will have genuine visibility and where there is a clear opportunity to shape both projects and the broader engineering function.
  
Salary: circa £80k - £95k + Bonus + generous benefits

Location:

Cambridgeshire (Commutable from Peterborough, Cambridge, Northampton, Bedford, St Neots, Stevenage, Milton Keynes, etc)
