Electronics Manager

A pioneering aerospace organisation in New Zealand is seeking an Electronics Manager to lead a high-impact engineering function responsible for flight electronics on a next-generation spaceplane programme. This is a rare opportunity for an experienced technical leader to influence architecture, guide a talented team, and play a pivotal role in delivering advanced flight hardware. Ideal for senior UK or European engineering leaders ready for a relocation and a career-defining challenge. You’ll head up a specialised electronics engineering team working across the full lifecycle of flight hardware-from concept and design, through prototyping, testing, integration, qualification, and delivery. The role blends leadership with deep technical influence: you’ll set standards, define system architecture, grow capability, and work cross-functionally with propulsion, software, structures, certification, operations, and systems engineering. This position offers broad ownership, direct impact on major vehicle decisions, and the chance to help shape a programme pushing the frontier between aviation and space.
