Electronic Systems Manager

Intelligent. Dynamic. Resilient. Everfox, formerly Forcepoint Federal, has been defending the world’s most critical data and networks against complex cyber threats for more than 25 years. We are trailblazers in defense-grade, high assurance cyber security, leading the way in developing and delivering innovative technology. We protect data wherever it resides and empower governments and enterprise organisations to use data safely.

Everfox builds high‑assurance cybersecurity hardware trusted by defence, government, and critical national infrastructure customers worldwide. For over 25 years, our secure hardware systems have supported mission‑critical operations in the most demanding environments.

The Role: We are hiring an Electronic Systems Manager to lead the architecture, integration, and delivery of electronic systems across our hardware based security product line. You will own the system‑level definition and technical coherence of assigned hardware platforms, guide a multidisciplinary team of engineers, and ensure that electronics, mechanical, firmware, and security requirements integrate into robust, certifiable, secure‑by‑design products. This role is hands‑on, delivery‑focused, and central to ensuring that hardware based security platforms meet stringent performance, security, and compliance standards.

What You’ll Do:

• Own end‑to‑end electronic system architecture for allocated hardware based security products, ensuring requirements and interfaces are clearly defined and managed.
• 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.

A reasonable estimate of the base salary range for this role is: £54,700.00-96,600.00 GBP. The actual salary offered may vary within the range based on a candidate's unique experience, locale, and business needs. In addition to a base salary and bonus plans, Everfox offers a generous benefits package including flexible PTO, a 401k match, and contribution to healthcare coverages.
