Electronic Engineering Project Manager

This role requires a combination of electronic engineering expertise, project management capability and practical experience with gas detection instrumentation. The ideal candidate will be comfortable coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams, managing project schedules and budgets, overseeing technical deliverables, and ensuring that products meet the required performance, quality, safety and regulatory standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage electronic engineering projects from concept and feasibility studies through design, development, verification, validation and product release.
• Oversee the complete project lifecycle for gas detection instruments and associated electronic systems.
• Coordinate hardware, firmware, software, mechanical design, testing and manufacturing activities.
• Translate customer requirements and product specifications into engineering deliverables, project plans and technical milestones.
• Manage project scope, budgets, resources, schedules, risks and deliverables to ensure successful project execution.
• Lead the development and improvement of electronic gas detection instruments, sensor interfaces, signal processing electronics and embedded control systems.
• Coordinate prototype development, product testing, calibration, verification and validation activities.
• Ensure appropriate integration of gas sensors, electronic circuitry, embedded systems, communication interfaces and alarm functionality.
• Monitor project progress, identify technical and operational risks, and implement corrective actions where required.
• Facilitate project meetings and communicate progress, risks, milestones and technical issues to stakeholders.
• Work closely with suppliers, manufacturing teams, quality assurance and external service providers.
• Ensure compliance with applicable product safety, quality, environmental and industry-specific standards.
• Oversee engineering documentation, design reviews, change control, testing records and product release documentation.
• Support the transition of new or modified products from engineering development into manufacturing and commercial deployment.
• Drive continuous improvement, cost optimisation, product reliability and engineering efficiency.

Minimum Requirements

• BEng, BSc, BTech or equivalent qualification in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Demonstrable experience managing electronic engineering or product development projects.
• Practical experience with gas detection instruments, gas monitoring equipment or gas detection systems is essential.
• Experience managing projects across the full engineering and product development lifecycle.
• Strong understanding of electronic hardware development, embedded systems and instrumentation.
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams and external stakeholders.
• Proven ability to manage project schedules, budgets, resources, risks and technical deliverables.
• Experience with design reviews, prototype development, testing, verification and product validation.
• Strong technical problem-solving, planning and organisational skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Advantageous Experience

• Experience with fixed or portable gas detection instruments.
• Knowledge of gas sensors and detection technologies, including electrochemical, catalytic bead, infrared or semiconductor sensors.
• Experience with sensor calibration, alarm thresholds, signal conditioning and measurement accuracy.
• Familiarity with embedded firmware, microcontrollers, PCB design and electronic instrumentation.
• Exposure to hazardous-area equipment requirements and relevant certification processes, such as ATEX or IECEx, where applicable.
• Knowledge of functional safety, product reliability, EMC/EMI testing and environmental qualification.
• Experience with product lifecycle management, engineering change control and manufacturing transfer.
• Familiarity with project management methodologies and tools such as Microsoft Project, Agile or formal stage-gate development processes.
