Hardware Engineering Manager

Reporting to the Director of Programmes & Engineering, the Hardware Engineering Manager will lead, develop and empower a team of hardware engineers to deliver market-leading, mission-critical products. The role is centred on achieving delivery excellence through people. Aligning work to individual strengths, building capability across the team, and fostering a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing to reduce single points of failure. By creating a resilient, well-balanced team and guiding delivery using the latest, often pre-released technologies, you will enable consistent, high-quality outcomes in demanding environments., * Leading and supporting a team of hardware engineers and design authorities to deliver high-quality embedded electronic designs, with clear ownership across architecture, schematics and PCB layout, principally around Intel x86 architecture.

• Keeping delivery on track by continuously reviewing how we work, partnering with the wider engineering community to make things simpler and more effective.
• Making sure designs are robust, well thought through, and ready for review - meeting functional, quality and lifecycle expectations.
• Pulling together strong, clear technical submissions for lifecycle reviews, covering documentation, safety and quality standards.
• Working closely with software and systems teams to make sure hardware integrates smoothly and performs reliably as part of the bigger picture.
• Collaborating with product, software and manufacturing teams to ensure designs are practical, buildable, and aligned to what the business needs.
• Keeping stakeholders up to date with clear, honest views on technical progress and risk - no surprises.
• Building a great team environment by role-modelling the culture - trust, accountability, collaboration, and continual improvement.
• Supporting your team day to day - coaching, developing, managing performance, and making sure people are set up to do their best work.

• Experience delivering embedded computer designs using Intel x86 architectures, with the credibility to guide and review detailed design work.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with the ability to work through complex technical challenges.
• A solid understanding of the full product lifecycle-from concept through to development, verification, and release.
• Experience identifying, managing, and mitigating technical risk within hardware programmes.
• A degree (or equivalent experience) in Electronic Engineering or a closely related field.
• A passion for technology, continuous improvement, and developing others.

Desirable:

• Knowledge of design for test and manufacture.
• Experience designing for rugged or challenging environments.
• Understanding of embedded software and hardware interaction.
• Awareness of high-speed digital design challenges.

• A chance to lead and shape complex, cutting-edge embedded products using Intel x86 technologies.
• A true player-manager role-combining hands-on technical work with leading and growing a team.
• A high-performing environment-we expect the best and reward it accordingly.
• A supportive, down-to-earth culture where people are trusted and supported to do their best work.
• Real development through day-to-day learning, exposure, and meaningful responsibility-not just formal training.
