Job Title: Head of Software Engineering – Embedded & Product Development

Remote-based - UK

Salary: £80,000 to £85,000 basic + benefits

This role is to manage a small team of 4 Software Engineers, 3 of whom are embedded, and one is a Mobile/Apps developer.

They are happy for this person to be based anywhere in England and work remotely.

A senior leadership opportunity is available for an experienced Head of Software / Software Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing software function within an advanced engineering and product development environment.

You will lead software strategy, software lifecycle processes, and delivery across multiple product programmes within a multidisciplinary R&D setting.

You will play a key role in shaping software architecture, development standards, and long-term capabilities ...
