Product Architect / Project Lead (Embedded Instrumentation)
Location: Durham, North East England
Salary / Package: £70,000 to 90,000 basic + benefits - Their benefits package includes salary sacrifice schemes for pensions etc
A well-established R&D-led manufacturer of professional electronic instruments is seeking a Product Architect to lead the development of complex new products from concept through to production.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role, combining system architecture and technical leadership.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in electronic design and embedded software to fulfil the 'Product' brief. But, in reality, the role is more focused on electronics as they re-use a lot of firmware, and it's the electronics that will be the focus of design projects for their next generation of products.
This role could also suit Principal, Chief, Lead, Staff, etc electronic design engineers who are already heavily involved in architecture and doing a technical leadership role.
