What does a chipset vendor do before its next 5G modem ever touches a real network? It tests against the platforms this team builds. Our client is a integral technology leader in test and measurement. Its device test business is growing fast, and it is looking for the Director who will take full ownership of its wireless R&D; organisation. Positions like this almost never go to the external market. This one does. The opportunity * Lead around 300 engineers across five European countries, through a leadership team of 6–8 Engineering Managers. * Two missions at once: evolve a market-leading product line used by the world’s top chipset makers, device OEMs and test labs, and build a brand-new 6G platform from scratch. * Real business ownership: you own the technical and business roadmap from concept to commercial release, reporting directly to the General Manager. * Set the engineering strategy across 5G-Advanced, 6G and Wi-Fi, ahead of the standards rather than behind them. What you bring * 12+ years in R&D; for wireless, telecom, test and measurement,



or other hardware-software products. * 6+ years wirelessleaders: you have managed managers and large, multi-site engineering organisations. * A software engineering background (engineer, tech lead, EM, director) and a solid grasp of software architecture. You won’t be coding, but you can go deep with your architects. * Experience shipping complex products that combine software and hardware, end to end. * Bonus points for protocol stacks, network emulation, modems/chipsets, or 3GPP/Wi-Fi ecosystems. What’s in it for you * A highly competitive package: base, bonus, equity and a full benefits package. * Full relocation and visa sponsorship to the UK or Málaga, the Costa del Sol’s tech hub. * An office-based leadership role at the heart of the team, with some flexibility. * The chance to shape how the world tests the next generation of wireless. #J-18808-Ljbffr
