The job holder will be responsible for leading a team of Electronics Engineers. This will involve setting priorities and workloads for the team, leading the team to work with other disciplines to ensure tasks are completed on time and under budget.

The role will also consist of taking the lead on Electronic Hardware Design of new design projects, and implementing the Electronic aspects of Engineering Change Orders. In addition to leading the team the candidate must be technically very competent and capable of ``getting their hands dirty`` designing circuits, checking schematics and writing code.

Working on Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) and Robotics products and often needing to help develop new methods, the role will suit innovative candidates that have good mathematical and analytical skills, supported with a degree in a maths, science or engineering subject. An appreciation of software and previous experience with Radio Communications will be an advantage.
