Senior Hardware Engineer

Position Overview:

Hardware Engineering opportunities have arisen in our dynamic and collaborative team as a result of sustaining activities on existing products and a demand for new products. The team is situated in our fantastic, well-located Cambridge office. We are looking for a senior engineer who can take responsibility for sections of the hardware design with a strong focus on quality, reliability and security to meet the exacting needs of our customers and security certification requirements.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a track record of working on demanding projects and delivering high quality designs which form a part of complex system. We are looking for candidates who are looking to develop and take on more responsibility for larger portions of designs and projects. A demonstrated ability to work with a range of stakeholders from customers, product managers to software teams will be essential. Experience working in the design of secure products (especially where formal external accreditation is sought) would be a particular advantage.

Hardware Engineering at Entrust comprises Electronic Engineering, High Speed Digital Design, Mechanical Engineering and Thermal Engineering – the full scope of the physical product platform.

Responsibilities:

• work within an Agile product development framework

• develop excellent working relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders and colleagues

• develop high quality hardware security modules (HSM) meeting the needs of our customers

• hands-on development of product subsystems

• carry out hardware design, prototyping and validation activities

• provide architectural support to help develop the product roadmap and ensure solutions meet future product requirements

• work collaboratively with Product Management and other stakeholders to establish and agree high level needs and priorities for product hardware platforms

• plan work collaboratively with the whole Engineering team to ensure that dependencies and planning commitments are understood and observed

• regularly prototype, integrate and demonstrate hardware platforms as part of “system demos”

• ensure on-going change control, testability and manufacturability of our hardware designs

• provide support and direction to less experienced team members

• drive continuous improvement and self-development

Key Requirements:

We are looking for candidates who possess:

• the ability to analyse complex technical problems and offer innovative, reasoned and practical solutions to demanding requirements,

• a solid understanding of the fundamentals of analogue, RF, digital and digital electronics and product design

It is expected that the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate relevant experience in some of the following technologies:

• high speed digital design on high performance embedded systems

• developing products with 32 or 64 bit processors, high speed interfaces & memory devices

• FPGAs for high performance

• microcontroller development and efficient low power design techniques

• signal integrity analysis, design for EMC, safety and relevant regulatory standards

• professional ECAD systems – ideally Altium

• design and implementation of security products

The following skills would be helpful but not essential for the role:

• Embedded C or Rust development for microcontroller

• U-boot and Linux builds

• VHDL

Basic Qualifications:

Degree qualified, or equivalent, in a relevant technical subject, e.g. Electronic Engineering.

Preferred Qualifications:

Masters qualified, or equivalent, in a relevant technical subject, e.g. Electronic Engineering.
