Design Engineering Manager
Warwick, UK | Permanent | Up to 25% travel

We're working with a global manufacturer of precision electronic and instrumentation products, supplying OEMs and distributors across agricultural, automotive, industrial, heavy truck, off-road, construction and process equipment markets.

They're looking for a Design Engineering Manager to lead their design engineering team through the full NPI lifecycle, concept development, design verification, design validation and product release, while staying close to the electronics themselves. This is a genuinely hands on leadership role. You'll be as comfortable reviewing a schematic or signing off a PCB layout as you are running a kaizen event or coaching a team through a performance review.

Strong electronic product design experience is what matters here, not experience in any one specific product category. Candidates from automotive, industrial, aerospace, instrumentation or adjacent electronics backgrounds are all of genuine interest, provided the hands on PCB and systems design experience is there.

Responsibilities

Lead and develop a multi-site design engineering team, including mentoring, coaching and performance management
Provide engineering leadership throughout the NPI and development process
Drive Continuous Improvement projects and run kaizen events
Create schematics and generate Gerber files, drill plans, silkscreens and BOMs for new PCB applications
Compile parts lists, order components, assemble and test prototype PCB assemblies
Perform analysis, simulation and testing of electronic systems
Redesign and upgrade PCB designs as components become obsolete
Prepare specifications, test plans, control plans and APQP documentation
Interface with customers and support system and field testing
What You'll Bring

Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related discipline
Several years of relevant electronic design experience, or equivalent combined experience and education
Proficient in reading and interpreting electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
Hands on experience with CAD tools, troubleshooting, soldering and PLC programs
Experience with manufacturing software and equipment (LabView, PLC, SolidWorks or similar)
Knowledge of interfacing sensor or signal output to PLC platforms is an advantage
Six Sigma, DOE or PCBA firmware/software exposure all a plus
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Keywords: Design Engineering Manager, Electronics Design Manager, Design Manager Electronics, Engineering Manager PCB, Senior Electronics Design Engineer, Hardware Design Manager, PCB design, schematic capture, Gerber files, PLC programming, ladder logic, structured text, LabView, SolidWorks, CAD, embedded systems, signal processing, analogue design, firmware, NPI, DFMEA, DVP, APQP, Six Sigma, kaizen, continuous improvement, QMS, Warwick, Coventry, Leamington Spa, Royal Leamington Spa
