The business
Our client is a specialist UK manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in low-voltage DC power systems, battery charging technology, and industrial electronics. Since the 1980s, they have evolved alongside developments in 12V/24V systems, supporting applications across automotive auxiliary systems, telecoms backup power, mobility, industrial equipment, and specialist battery-powered systems.
Unlike high-voltage EV OEM environments, this business focuses on practical, embedded, and applied low-voltage engineering solutions, combining standard and bespoke product development with servicing, repair, and long-term customer support.
This is a close-knit SME environment where engineers have real influence over product direction and technical decisions.
The role
You will be the technical authority for low-voltage battery charging and DC power systems, leading product development and improving engineering performance across design, manufacturing, and field applications.
This role is both hands-on and strategic - youll own the product roadmap while actively solving real engineering problems.
You will also play a key role in shaping the future of the engineering team, including capability development and succession planning.
Key responsibilities:
Lead development of 12V/24V battery chargers and low-voltage power systems
Drive innovation in battery charging, recovery, and DC power management
Own and evolve the product roadmap for low-voltage electronics solutions
Improve design for manufacture, testing, and product reliability
Troubleshoot and resolve real-world issues across design, production, and field use
Mentor and develop engineers within a growing technical team
Support long-term succession planning and engineering leadership growth
What were looking for:
Strong background in low-voltage electronics (12V/24V DC systems) or power electronics
Experience in areas such as:
Battery chargers (industrial / commercial / specialist applications)
DC power systems
UPS systems (low-voltage / industrial)
Embedded power electronics
Non-HV EV auxiliary systems (not main traction HV systems)
Hands-on engineering experience (design, development, or applied R&D)
Practical, problem-solving mindset with attention to real-world application
Experience in a manufacturing, SME, or product engineering environment
Leadership experience or readiness to step into a technical leadership role
Ambition to progress into a future Director-level position
Ideal background
This role is particularly well suited to engineers from:
Low-voltage electronics manufacturers
Industrial battery charging companies
DC power supply / embedded power systems firms
Specialist engineering SMEs working on 12V/24V systems
