An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Hardware Development Engineer to join a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary team designing and delivering secure digital hardware solutions.

This is a hands-on role covering the full development lifecycle, from concept and design through to testing, production support, and customer integration.

What You’ll Do

- Take ownership of hardware design and delivery across the entire product lifecycle.
- Specify and design high-speed digital boards for products and test equipment.
- Create, build, and test development and production test equipment.
- Capture schematics and support PCB layout activities.
- Collaborate closely with Mechanical, Software, and Systems engineers to ensure seamless integration.
- Perform hardware design verification and support system/software testing.
- Produce development and production test processes and documentation.
- Provide production support, including resolving test and manufacturing issues and training production staff.
- Address design changes, component obsolescence, and integration of secure data products into customer platforms.

What We’re Looking For

- Degree in Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.
- Full hardware development lifecycle experience with a strong grasp of electronic design fundamentals.
- Proven track record in high-speed digital circuit development and signal integrity.
- Skilled in hardware testing and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and similar tools.
- Proficiency with industry-standard CAD tools (e.g., Cadence or Mentor schematic/layout).
- Must be a UK national and able to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC).

Desirable Skills

- Experience supporting production and applying Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacture (DFM) techniques.
- Embedded firmware design (C/C++/Assembler/Python).
- Software design for test and test-equipment development.
- Ability to write test specifications and conduct hardware/system testing.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on innovative, secure hardware technologies, contributing to projects with real-world impact while developing your expertise in a collaborative and forward-thinking engineering environment.
