You will own and evolve ANGOKA’s hardware platforms, following a market-led, product-focused, hardware roadmap. This role combines hands-on electronics design with people leadership, project ownership, and commercial awareness.

You will be responsible for shaping hardware strategy, leading the team through delivery, and supporting customer and partner engagements, including the provision of technical input to bids and proposals.

Produce and review schematics, PCB layouts, and manufacturing outputs using Altium Designer
Lead and support EMC/EMI-aware design, pre-compliance testing, and certification activities
Own hardware schedules, dependencies, and delivery risks, escalating issues where required
Line-manage and mentor hardware engineers, providing technical guidance, performance feedback, and development support
Allocate work, set priorities, and balance team capacity across projects
Build and maintain a high-performing hardware team aligned with ANGOKA’s product roadmap
Provide technical input to project bids, proposals, and statements of work, including hardware scope, estimates, and risk assessment
Represent ANGOKA at customer and partner discussions as the hardware technical lead
Translate customer requirements into deliverable hardware plans and costed solutions
Work closely with product management, systems, and commercial teams to shape viable offerings
Lead supplier selection, component strategy, and obsolescence management
Work with contract manufacturers and test houses during NPI and production ramp
Own DFM/DFA reviews and production readiness activities

The Company

At ANGOKA, our mission is to secure the digital foundations of the modern world - embedding trust, resilience, and safety into the communication and data networks that underpin smart cities, autonomous systems, and future aviation. Airports and airspace are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, as highlighted by recent events in Europe.

ANGOKA is building the technology platform for a safer, more connected future aviation system. Our aim is to focus and operate first in air, and the resultant product and systems would map rapidly across to other sectors, including directly to land and marine transportation.
ANGOKA is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We welcome and encourage applicants from all backgrounds and experiences. We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment.

At ANGOKA, all our hiring decisions are based on business needs, job requirements and individual qualifications, and we are committed to creating an inclusive culture that supports and represents our diverse society.
