Role Overview: Lead the architecture, integration, and delivery of electronic systems across our hardware‑based security product line. Own system‑level definition and technical coherence of assigned hardware platforms, guide multidisciplinary teams, and ensure electronics, mechanical, firmware, and security requirements integrate into robust, certifiable, secure‑by‑design products.

What You’ll Do:

• Own end‑to‑end electronic system architecture for allocated hardware‑based security products.
• Lead system integration across electronics, firmware, mechanical, and security engineering.
• Guide engineers through technical challenges in high‑speed digital, mixed‑signal, power, EMC‑robust design, and platform‑level electronics decisions.
• Plan and oversee system verification and validation activities, including EVT/DVT cycles, hardware bring‑up, and certification readiness (CE/UKCA, FCC/RED).
• Ensure platform designs meet EMC, safety, reliability, and secure‑by‑design expectations.
• Drive risk management, design reviews, configuration control, and requirements traceability.
• Support production, test engineering, and field operations in resolving system‑related hardware issues.
• Lead and develop a team of electronics and systems engineers, setting expectations and providing coaching, mentoring, and skills growth.
• Collaborate with product management, manufacturing, suppliers, and cross‑functional engineering teams to deliver high‑quality, manufacturable hardware.
• Contribute to the evolution of engineering processes, toolchains, and documentation standards.
• Provide input to product‑line technology planning and recommend improvements in cost, performance, and security posture.

What You’ll Bring:

• Demonstrated leadership of electronic or systems engineering teams delivering complex hardware platforms.
• Strong systems engineering capability and deep understanding of electronics, mixed‑signal design, power architecture, and system‑level integration.
• Experience with EMC‑robust hardware design, safety standards, and regulatory compliance.
• Proficiency with engineering toolchains (e.g., Altium, PLM systems).
• Strong ability to drive system‑level design reviews, make balanced technical trade‑offs, and resolve integration issues.
• Good understanding of secure hardware design principles and tamper‑resistance concepts.
• Effective communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders across engineering, operations, and program functions.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with IEC/EN 62368‑1, ruggedised electronics, or thermal/structural analysis.
• Understanding of FPGA/SoC integration or exposure to VHDL/RTL concepts.
• Familiarity with FIPS or Common Criteria development approaches.
• Python scripting for test automation or hardware verification.

Eligibility: Due to export‑control restrictions, we cannot hire candidates residing in or relocating from certain countries. You must have the right to work in the UK.
