About the role

We're working with a forward-thinking engineering company based in Derby to find a Lead Electronics Engineer who's ready to take the reins on technically demanding projects. This is a hands-on, leadership-level role for someone who wants to make a real impact.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading end-to-end electronics projects: hardware, firmware, embedded systems, and control.
  • Taking ownership of designs from concept through to delivery and customer integration.
  • Mentoring junior engineers and apprentices, helping shape the next generation of talent.
  • Interfacing directly with customers to gather requirements and troubleshoot in the real world.
  • Driving technical decisions, risk assessments, and project planning.
  • You'll be supported by a skilled and collaborative team, but you'll also have the autonomy to lead, design, and deliver in your own style.

What's In It For You

  • Competitive Salary: £50k to £65k depending on experience.
  • Work-Life Balance: 37-hour week with a Friday lunchtime finish.
  • Time Off: 28 days' holiday (including bank holidays), with 3 reserved for Christmas.
  • Room to Grow: Influence projects, innovate solutions, and take real ownership.
  • Tech You'll Care About: Work on legacy systems and bleeding-edge electronics, often on the same day.

Essential

What You'll Bring

  • Strong hands-on electronics experience across hardware and firmware.
  • Confident working with high voltages, power systems, and risk-sensitive environments.
  • Able to balance multiple complex projects with real-world constraints.
  • Excellent communicator- comfortable talking tech with engineers or project goals with clients.

Desirable (but Not Essential)

  • Embedded C/C++/Python development (8- or 32-bit targets).
  • Firmware standards (MISRA) and debugging tools (JTAG, SWD).
  • PCB layout (e.g., KiCad), SPICE simulation, or high-speed digital design.
  • Experience with mission-critical or ruggedised equipment (rail, defence, aerospace).
  • Strong workshop/lab skills; soldering, harness building, machining, etc
