Are you a hands‑on technical leader who thrives on bringing products together, from concept through to delivery? This Engineering Manager role is all about driving cohesive product development, strengthening existing product lines, and shaping the next generation of solutions.

This is a pivotal position within a growing organisation, responsible for ensuring engineering output is streamlined, aligned, and future‑focused.

The Opportunity
You’ll lead a multi‑disciplinary engineering function, overseeing Mechanical, Electronics and Software teams. Your mission is to ensure product development runs smoothly, efficiently, and with clear technical direction.

You’ll work across the full product lifecycle, supporting the existing portfolio while also driving new product innovation. Collaboration is key: you’ll partner with department leads, operations, quality, commercial and wider business stakeholders to explore what’s possible and turn ideas into deliverable, commercially viable products.

This role also offers the chance to bring in fresh thinking from adjacent industries - whether that’s medical devices, industrial automation, consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, IoT, or other high‑integrity engineering environments.

What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading and developing Mechanical, Electronics and Software engineering teams
- Ensuring product development processes are streamlined, structured and well‑communicated
- Overseeing technical delivery across existing product lines
- Driving new product development and exploring alternative industry approaches
- Working closely with department leads to align engineering strategy with business goals
- Collaborating with cross‑functional teams to ensure products are manufacturable, compliant and commercially strong
- Bringing a systems‑level mindset to how products come together
- Championing continuous improvement across engineering practices

What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience leading multi‑disciplinary engineering teams (mechanical/electronics/software)
- Strong background in product development within a technical or manufacturing environment
- Ability to coordinate complex engineering activities and bring structure to development processes
- Experience working across full product lifecycle
- A collaborative leadership style with the ability to influence and align teams
- Exposure to regulated or high‑integrity sectors is beneficial (e.g., medical, aerospace, automotive, industrial, defence, consumer tech)
- Someone who enjoys exploring new technologies, new markets and new ways of working

Why This Role Suits You
This would suit an Engineering Manager, Technical Lead or Senior Engineer who has previously guided cross‑functional teams and wants to step into a role with real influence over product direction. If you enjoy shaping engineering culture, improving processes and driving innovation, this is a strong match.
