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,

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
