Electronics Manager
Would you like to be instrumental in enabling the next generation of semiconductors?
We’re looking for an experienced Electronics Manager to lead the team responsible for the measurement and signal systems that sit at the core of our world-class metrology products. This is an equal-weight leadership and technical role—you’ll shape our instrumentation strategy, develop a talented team, and work hands-on when it counts. If you can bring deep domain expertise and the people skills to get the best out of others, this one’s for you.
Reward and Benefits
- £65,000 to £83,000 (depending on experience)

- Personal pension contributions of 4% with salary sacrifice
- Generous EMI Share scheme
- Based in Abingdon, Oxford, UK
Our high-calibre team of 100+ people is growing fast, backed by global financial and industry investors including Applied Ventures, the strategic venture arm of the industry-leading equipment company.
About the Role
A typical day for an Electronics Manager could include:
- Leading the instrumentation team through coaching, mentoring, and developing people through regular feedback and reviews
- Providing technical leadership to ensure high-quality, reliable instrumentation design and delivery
- Working closely with senior leaders to shape and evolve the company’s instrumentation strategy, tooling, and measurement capability
- Championing continuous improvement across products, processes, tools, and team capability
- Collaborating with system architects, optics, mechanics, and controls teams to ensure seamless instrumentation integration and project delivery
- Contributing hands-on to measurement validation, signal characterisation, and fault investigation when required

Key Requirements
To succeed as an Electronics Manager, we need you to have:
- Significant people-management and industry experience in a precision instrumentation, metrology, or semiconductor capital equipment environment
- Expertise in:
- PCB design, power supply characterisation, low noise amplifier design/selection, and signal integrity
- Signal capture, conditioning, and measurement chain design for sensitive instrumentation
- Signal generation and capture, including ADC and DAC selection and application
- Power delivery and grounding best practices for sensitive, complex precision equipment
- Product lifecycle management (requirements reviewing, design reviews, engineering change, and revision management)
- Instrumentation design best practices with a collegiate, practical approach to problem solving
- Comfortable in a cross-functional matrix organisation, with experience conducting and interpreting precision measurement and characterisation testing
