Engineering Manager

Lead engineering and product development for a global instrumentation business

Our client designs and manufactures automated testing instruments for scientific and industrial applications, exporting the vast majority of its products to research labs and manufacturers worldwide. We're looking for an experienced engineer looking for a step into management, to take ownership of new product development and the engineering function as the business grows.


This is a hands-on management role. You'll lead new product development, and a small team of engineers, technicians and apprentices, taking full accountability for delivering projects on time, in budget, and to spec - from initial concept through to certification and production handover.


You'll be joining a small, well-established business with a strong reputation and global reach. There's no bureaucracy to wade through here: you'll have real autonomy, a direct line to the leadership team, and the scope to shape both the products and the engineering function itself.

 

What you'll be doing

  • Owning delivery of NPD projects end-to-end - specifications, project planning, budget and resourcing, and hands-on engineering across electronics, firmware, software and mechanics
  • Testing and validating designs and prototypes, and steering products through to certification and production handover
  • Supporting the existing product range - fault-finding, obsolescence, and design improvements to cost, quality and performance
  • Representing engineering with customers and distributors, including occasional international travel to understand customer needs first-hand

 

What we're looking for

  • Experience in new product development in an electro-mechanical environment
  • A track record of delivering complex projects to deadline and to spec
  • Comfortable operating with autonomy in a small business, and confident building relationships with colleagues, customers and partners
  • Willingness to visit customers on occasion, to understand issues and to get ideas for new products. 

 

If you'd like to learn more about the role, please get in touch with Ashlea Harland for a confidential chat.
