Head of Hardware Development

Looking for a new management challenge in a rapidly growing and highly successful company? This role might be a good choice for an experienced hardware-engineer-turned-manager able to make a long-term contribution to the success of this team as their business expands globally. This company develops ultra-high-speed electronics and software for bespoke use within a competitive and fast moving business sector. Their technology is at the forefront in this field and they continuously strive to further improve its performance by leveraging the latest silicon and coding techniques.

We are seeking an accomplished Engineering Manager with excellent project and people management skills coupled with a strong technical understanding of high speed electronics and FPGA-based development. To succeed in this role, you will be pragmatic and collaborative by nature, with strong organisational skills and the ability to foster communication between the development teams and the end users of their work. Your industry background will have given you an acute appreciation for the issues that can arise in hardware development and the importance of good design and thorough testing to prevent expensive errors.

You will need :

• An impressive track record of building and leading teams in developing high speed mission-critical electronics.
• You are easy to work with and have excellent collaboration skills – while you have achievements to boast and experience to call upon, you naturally prefer a more co-operative approach and value others’ input.
• A solid academic background and strong knowledge of high speed electronics design and FPGA development.
• Full existing UK work permission.

Not essential, but experience within the semiconductor devices industry would be a bonus.

The company is driven by success, but moreover by the ability that this success gives them to affect change for good. They contribute directly to good causes, and feel a strong sense of responsibility for developing and nurturing their employees. The team is based in modern offices in Cambridge, and remote working is available for up to two days per week.
