Technical Manager

Technical Manager

• Embedded and Power
• Office based full time on site in Wokingham

If you're the person everyone turns to when the engineering challenge becomes complex, but you still enjoy developing people as much as solving problems, this could be the role you've been looking for.

This isn't about managing from a distance. You'll shape technical direction, support a talented engineering team and become the trusted voice that customers, colleagues and senior leaders rely on when resolving all levels of pre and post sales technical enquiries.

You'll lead a team of four engineers while remaining close to the technology. One day you'll be supporting the sales team with a complex customer design-in, the next reviewing a prototype, overseeing EMC testing or helping resolve a challenging post-sales technical issue. You'll guide product integration, qualify third-party technologies, oversee build and test documentation, and ensure every solution meets the quality, compliance and performance standards customers expect.

Beyond the day-to-day engineering, you'll shape how the function develops. You'll improve processes, manage production workflow, advise Product Managers on future capabilities and invest in the growth of your team, giving engineers the support and direction they need to do their best work.

Your influence will reach well beyond engineering. You'll work alongside Sales on customer visits and technical presentations, advise Operations on manufacturing and testing, support Product Managers on future capability, and become the technical authority customers trust from initial concept through to delivery and ongoing support.

This is a business with decades of engineering heritage, supplying specialist technology into demanding industries where reliability matters. Their reputation has been built on technical expertise, long-standing customer relationships and a commitment to delivering practical solutions rather than off-the-shelf answers.

Success in this role isn't measured by how many meetings you attend. It's measured by the confidence your team has in your leadership, the trust customers place in your advice and the quality of the engineering decisions that shape the future of the business.

To succeed you'll need:

• Experience leading or mentoring an electronics engineering team.
• A background in Embedded systems, power electronics or electronic product design.
• Confidence discussing design, manufacture, test and customer applications.
• Exposure to areas such as EMC, schematic capture, Linux/Windows environments, quality systems and product integration.
• Eligibility to obtain or hold UK security clearance (British passport required for MOD-related work).

If you're looking for a role where you can still use your technical expertise while having a genuine influence on people, projects and business direction, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.
