About the opportunity

Are you a Technical Project Manager with a passion for bringing hardware and electronics products to life? I'm working with an innovative technology company looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager to join their Hardware & Electronics Engineering team.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, innovation, and delivery – bringing new hardware and electronics products from concept to market and scaling them globally. With significant private equity backing secured in 2024, the business is in a strong growth phase with substantial investment in new technology, team development, and scaling operations.

If you thrive in fast‑paced environments, are confident managing complex, cross‑functional projects, and have proven experience delivering electronics or hardware products, this could be an excellent opportunity.

As a Technical Project Manager:

You’ll lead the delivery of technical projects that form the backbone of the company’s hardware offering – working with teams across electronics development, embedded systems, testing, supply chain, and commercial functions. Your focus will be on both internal R&D initiatives and external customer projects, with a clear path from roadmap to deployment.

• Managing electronics development projects aligned with the product roadmap
• Leading customer‑facing projects that bring new hardware products to market
• Coordinating product testing and certification with third‑party vendors
• Supporting the supply chain to scale manufacturing and delivery
• Providing clear technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams
• Championing best practice in project management, collaboration, and knowledge sharing
• Working with commercial teams to define business cases and ensure products deliver real‑world value

You will need to bring to the table

We're looking for someone who combines technical depth with delivery expertise – a clear communicator who's comfortable in the detail but driven by outcomes.

Essential requirements

• Proven experience as a Project Manager or Product Manager in electronics/hardware development (not software)
• Strong understanding of how business needs translate into technical product requirements
• A track record of delivering complex, multi‑disciplinary hardware projects
• Familiarity with product development lifecycles including compliance and reliability testing
• Confidence using Atlassian tools (Jira/Confluence) or similar project management platforms
• A strong safety mindset and quality‑first approach
• Degree in Electronics, Physics, or a related engineering discipline

Why choose this role & company over another

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well‑funded, ambitious company at a pivotal growth stage. You'll be working on innovative hardware products with genuine technical complexity, leading projects that have direct commercial impact, and working alongside talented multidisciplinary teams.
