Senior Hardware Engineer

Senior Hardware Engineer

Entrust, Cambridge, United Kingdom

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 located in our 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 have a track record of working on demanding projects and delivering high quality designs which form part of a complex system. We are looking for candidates who are eager 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 in designing secure products (especially where 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.

• 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 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

• ability to analyse complex technical problems and offer innovative, reasoned and practical solutions to demanding requirements
• solid understanding of analogue, RF, digital and digital electronics and product design

It is expected that the successful candidate will have 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
