Technology Manager (Electronics)
Avanti Recruitment is working with a specialist electronics manufacturer to recruit a Technology Manager.
Despite the title, you don't need previous management experience. The company is particularly interested in hands-on Electronics Engineers who enjoy solving technical problems and are looking to step into a role with greater responsibility.
The business develops microprocessor-controlled equipment used in gas and water infrastructure worldwide. It's a small, established engineering company with the financial backing of a major international group.
The Role
You'll become the company's technical expert, supporting existing electronic products while helping drive improvements and future technology.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Investigating electronic faults and supporting repairs and troubleshooting.
- Providing technical guidance to production teams, engineers and customers.
- Overseeing external electronics and embedded software development partners.
- Testing and validating hardware and software changes.
- Improving existing products and helping shape new technology, including next-generation battery-powered equipment.
This isn't a full-time design or coding position. You'll remain closely involved in practical engineering while taking greater ownership of technical decisions and product development.
What We're Looking For
A strong electronics background with experience in fault-finding, product support, servicing or development. An understanding of embedded software would be beneficial.
Previous management experience and a degree are not essential. The priority is finding someone technically capable who wants to progress.
What's On Offer?
- Up to £60,000 salary
- Profit-related bonus, typically around 10%
- Option to work 39 hours over 4 days, giving you a three-day weekend
- Flexible working hours and occasional home working
