Technical Project Manager | Hardware & Software

Location: Oxfordshire (Hybrid Working)

Salary: £55,000 to £63,500

Contract: 18 Month Fixed Term Contract

Working Hours: Full Time, with flexibility available

Are you an experienced Technical Project Manager who enjoys working closely with engineering teams and bringing complex hardware products to market?

We're working with an innovative, technology focused organisation looking for someone to take ownership of technical projects involving hardware development, embedded software and manufacturing.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative team where you'll have genuine responsibility, plenty of variety and the freedom to influence how projects are delivered.

The Role

You'll be responsible for managing technical projects from initial concept through to production, working closely with engineers, external suppliers and key stakeholders.

The position offers a good balance of technical involvement, project delivery and process improvement, making it particularly suited to someone who understands the challenges of developing physical technology products.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing hardware and software development projects from concept through to manufacture.
• Coordinating engineering teams, suppliers and external technical partners.
• Overseeing project schedules, budgets, resources and deliverables.
• Supporting product development, prototyping, testing and validation.
• Managing project risks, identifying potential issues and ensuring appropriate action is taken.
• Working closely with engineering teams to ensure hardware, firmware and software development remain aligned.
• Supporting product certification and regulatory compliance activities.
• Improving project management processes, documentation and reporting.
• Managing communication between technical teams and wider business stakeholders.

We're keen to speak with Technical Project Managers who have experience delivering hardware products and are comfortable working in technically demanding environments.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Previous experience managing hardware development projects through the full product lifecycle.
• A good understanding of electronics development, including PCB design, embedded systems and firmware.
• Experience taking products from prototype through to manufacturing.
• Knowledge of hardware and software integration.
• Familiarity with product testing, certification and regulatory requirements.
• Experience working with external manufacturers, engineering suppliers and technical partners.
• An understanding of engineering change management and product documentation.
• Experience using structured project management methodologies, including Agile or Waterfall.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to work directly with engineers and senior stakeholders.

Experience with project management tools and a recognised project management qualification would be beneficial, although neither is essential.

What's on Offer?

• Salary between £55,000 and £63,500 depending on experience.
• Hybrid working with flexibility around office attendance.
• 18 month contract with potential for extension.
• Flexible working hours and consideration for a four day working week.
• Generous annual leave allowance.
• Private healthcare and life insurance options.
• Competitive pension contributions.
• The opportunity to work on interesting technical products with a supportive and experienced team.

If you're a Technical Project Manager with a background in electronics, embedded systems or hardware product development, we'd be keen to hear from you.
