These markets include aerospace and defense, factory automation, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research, deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research.\nWe are looking for individuals who thrive on making an impact and want the excitement of being on a team that wins.\nJob Description\nJob Summary:\nWe are looking for a Lead Software Engineer to combine hands-on technical work with people leadership. You will be first line manager for up to eight engineers spread across several scrum teams, covering a range of Software Engineering disciplines and seniority levels from Apprentice to Principal. You will remain an active contributor, with development skills at least equal to an experienced Senior Software Engineer. That means designing and building production-quality software, reviewing code with authority, guiding technical decisions, and setting the standard for engineering practice. You will be expected to know your way around modern, AI-augmented development workflows and to show your reports how to use them effectively and economically.\nAs a line manager, you will be responsible for the growth, wellbeing and performance of your reports. This includes regular one-to-ones, objective setting, performance reviews, career development plans, recruitment and onboarding. Your reports will work in different scrums and specialisations, so you will work closely with Product Owners, Scrum Masters and Principal Engineers. Together you will balance individual development with team delivery, spot skills gaps and coverage risks, and make sure engineers are deployed where they add the most value. You will act early on underperformance, champion good work, and build an inclusive, psychologically safe environment where people can do their best work.\nThe ideal candidate is a credible engineer who has found that they get as much satisfaction from developing people as from shipping code. You will be comfortable switching between technical detail and people matters, often in the same day, and will communicate clearly with engineers, stakeholders and senior management alike. Previous experience of line management or formal mentoring in an agile environment is strongly preferred. So is a track record of improving engineering practices, delivery predictability and team health across more than one team. As a guide you should expect a 60/40 split technical work to line management.\nJob Role\nDesign, build, test and maintain high-quality software as a hands-on contributor at senior engineer level or above. \nHelp promote and establish CI/CD, test automation, code quality and delivery predictability. \nReview code and designs across teams, setting and enforcing engineering standards and best practices. \nWork with Principal Engineers on architecture, technical direction and resolving cross-team technical risks. \nLine-manage around 8 engineers across multiple scrum teams and disciplines \nHold regular one-to-ones focused on wellbeing, performance, feedback and career growth. \nSet objectives with each report, track progress, and lead mid-year and annual performance reviews. \nCreate and support personal development plans, including training, mentoring and stretch opportunities, addressing underperformance early, using formal processes where needed. \nRecognise and champion good work, both within the team and to senior management \nThis job is hybrid with 4 days per week in our Fareham office. \nCarry out the role in accordance with all relevant legislation and following Raymarine’s policies and processes (including but not limited to those relating to ethics, compliance, cyber security, product development, labour and human rights, and the environment.) \nUndertake all mandatory training as requested. \nTo be ready to take on this role we would love if you have\n A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related STEM subject, or equivalent professional experience. \nCommercial software development experience, ideally at Senior Engineer level or above with a portfolio of experience having included some of the following: \nDiagnosed and fixed difficult customer-reported faults, often with incomplete information, intermittent symptoms or under time pressure. \nBeen on the front line of a serious production incident, helping restore service and then leading or contributing to a blameless root-cause analysis. \nDealt with the impact of your own (or your team's) code going wrong in the field, and put measures in place so it didn't happen again. \nLed a small development (a feature, component or project) from requirements through design, build, test and release, ensuring it met company quality, security and compliance standards \nBroken down ambiguous or poorly defined requirements into a deliverable plan, and pushed back constructively when scope, estimates or quality were at risk. \nDelivered against a hard deadline and made sensible, visible trade-offs to get there without quietly cutting corners. \nWorked with testers, product owners, support teams or customers to get a release over the line. \nMentored or coached junior engineers and can point to how they grew as a result \nGiven difficult feedback to a peer, or received it, and handled it well \nResolved a disagreement on technical direction, priorities or ways of working without escalation becoming the default \nRepresented the team to stakeholders or senior management, explaining technical issues in business terms \nProven experience working in Agile/Scrum teams \nStrong technical depth in C++, for an embedded environment with hands-on experience of CI/CD, automated testing, and AI-assisted development tools \nThe right to work in the UK. \nWhat Raymarine offers you\nOpportunity to develop your career with one of the leading marine electronics companies whilst shaping the tools and processes employed in our Software Development.\nAt Raymarine, you get a unique opportunity to experience how cutting-edge R&D, software- and hardware development come together under one roof.\nFriendly culture with a focus on collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity.\nA fair compensation structure and benefits\nInterested?\nIf you liked what you just read, and believe you are the person that will make us better, do not hesitate to apply.\nThe selection process is ongoing, so don't wait.\nWhen applying, make it easy for yourself.
