Technical Lead

Responsibilities

• Own the design and development of your product throughout the full development life cycle, from concept to production.
• Drive the capture of product requirements and specifications in collaboration with Product Management, Engineering and external teams, and ensure the product stays compliant throughout development.
• Lead the development of product architecture, weighing up the available design options to strike a sound balance of cost, performance and complexity.
• Work with Project Management to plan and manage timelines, accounting for internal and external dependencies and communicating changes clearly to stakeholders.
• Contribute to our product roadmaps, keeping up to date with industry trends and developments.
• Work with other teams across Engineering to identify and clear technical roadblocks.
• Identify risks early, form contingency plans and escalate emerging issues to senior engineering staff and management when needed.
• Make sound and timely technical decisions, drawing on senior engineering staff for decisions with broad or long-term impact.
• Build effective relationships with customers and suppliers, providing technical expertise as required.
• Keep internal stakeholders aligned on deliverables through clear progress reporting and presentations.
• Be transparent with the team about challenges, failures and successes.
• Bring NetComm’s mission to life – to listen, innovate, solve, and connect – and live our signature behaviours every day.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience designing and delivering products across concept, design, validation and production, gained over significant years in product development within telecommunications, hardware or connected-device development.
• Bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering, computer science or a related field.
• Strong technical, diagnostic and troubleshooting skills, and the judgement to know when to escalate.
• Developing leadership and organisational abilities, with a willingness to take responsibility for outcomes.
• Well organised and detail oriented, able to set and manage priorities across your own projects.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment whilst remaining calm and measured.
• Strong communication, motivational and interpersonal skills, with the ability to tailor messaging from engineer to executive.
• Willingness to build professional relationships with internal and external stakeholders to remove roadblocks and reach goals.
