Embedded Design Team Lead


Based in Stevenage


Salary up to £65,000 | Bonus | 14% Pension | Overtime


This isn’t a paperwork-heavy line management role. It’s leadership inside complex embedded digital systems, DSP, SoC, FPGA, and safety-critical platforms. The kind of work that actually ends up in service.


You’ll lead a team working across:
*Advanced DSP, image processing, software-defined radio
*Complex SoC architectures
*FPGA and embedded software integration
*Safety and security critical systems
You’ll still understand the detail, partitioning between FPGA and software, performance modelling, integration onto hardware platforms. But your real impact will be driving standards, shaping delivery, improving processes, and building a high-performing engineering culture.


We’re looking for:
*Proven team leadership
*Background in FPGA, digital hardware or embedded software
*Experience integrating embedded systems onto real hardware
*Someone who plans, owns work packages, and delivers
*Someone who can challenge the norm and raise the bar
Due to security clearance requirements, you will hold British citizenship or be a dual national with British citizenship.


You’ll get:
*Circa £65,000
*Bonus up to £2,500
*Up to 14% pension
*Paid overtime
*Flexi leave, up to 15 additional days
*Real progression in a complex engineering environment
This is for engineers who want influence, not just tasks.


If that’s you, let’s talk.
