As both a leader and hands-on contributor, the Technical Lead combines deep technical expertise with a broad systems perspective, driving technical excellence across the project while considering impacts beyond their own area of specialism. The role plays a key part in fostering collaboration, managing technical risks, and ensuring the delivery of robust, scalable, and effective solutions.
Responsibilities
Providing technical leadership to a cross functional team, of varying seniority, during the design and development of technical projects. Includes the need to understand and account for requirements outside of Hardware discipline and encompasses the whole Keysight Lifecycle (KLC) Process including concept, requirements capture, planning/estimation, detailed design, implementation, qualification, and end of life
Coordinate and provide technical input into Product Management Team against customer requirements.
Determine technical resource required for project execution.
Leading design review meetings (including gathering required inputs and completing documentation).
Determine validation and qualification requirements working closely with Product Verification Team.
Work with Project Management Organisation to provide technical updates on project progress, monitor risks and execute Project plans and to manage resource contention.
Make decisions around technical implementation of projects.
Be an individual contributor within projects in the Hardware aspects of the project.
Consider inputs from all areas of the business required for product launch (e.g. Operations, Global Services, Supply Chain, Commercial).
Produce and maintain clear, concise and accurate technical documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
Qualifications
Essential
Honours degree in Electronic Engineering, Communications Engineering, or a similar discipline
Extensive relevant experience in a similar role (~8+ years) with the ability to add value with limited development.
Multiple years’ experience working within a structured engineering environment that includes Requirements Analysis/Definition, Design/Implementation, Defect Tracking, and Testing electronic design for product development at a lead level.
Analog and Digital Electronics proficiency at both system and component level.
System level design including hard and soft elements.
Understanding of the software development process and its interdependencies on hardware.
Understanding of the mechanical design process for electronic packaging.
Board level electronic circuit design.
New Product Introduction experience.
Knowledge of Project management tools and methods.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce clear, concise technical reports and project documentation.
Desirable
Experience in RF electronics or FPGA design.

Experience using MATLAB or similar modelling and analysis tools.
Behaviours
Ability to both own and lead multi-disciplinary projects through the Keysight Lifecycle Process.
Excellent interpersonal communication, presentation and analytical skills.
Proven leader in technical areas of expertise, leading by example and results oriented, focused on getting to the desired outcome.
Creativity --original/innovative thinker, ability to go beyond traditional approaches.
Team player with a highly collaborative and positive attitude.
Ability to work on extremely complex system wide problems where analysis of situations or data requires an evaluation of intangible variance factors.
Eager to learn new technologies, self-motivated, energetic approach.
Demonstrable mentoring and training experience.
Communicates effectively, listens sensitively, adapts communication to audience and fosters effective communication with others.
Good problem-solving skills coupled with a strong aptitude to learn and innovate.
Organised and methodical but also a creative thinker.
Steps up and acts without being asked. Looks for opportunities to make a difference.
Adapts to new/difficult situations and devise ways to overcome obstacles.
