Technical Manager – Embedded & Power

Reading | Up to £70,000 + 20% Bonus + Benefits

Permanent | Monday to Friday, Office Based

Are you an experienced Electronics or Embedded Engineer who enjoys leading people but still wants to stay close to the technology?

I’m recruiting a Technical Manager – Embedded & Power for an established technology business working across technically complex markets, including aerospace and defence.

This is a hands-on leadership role, managing technical, test and production personnel while taking responsibility for projects, workflow and the delivery of embedded and power solutions.

The role

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Leading and managing technical, test and production personnel
  • Managing projects, resources and production workflow
  • Supporting the design and integration of embedded and power solutions
  • Resolving pre and post sales technical enquiries
  • Supporting prototype manufacture, integration, fault finding and repair
  • Overseeing EMC and environmental testing
  • Ensuring technical documentation, quality and QMS standards are maintained

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
