Position Overview

Hardware Engineering opportunities have arisen in our dynamic and collaborative team because of sustaining activities on existing products and demand for new products. The team is situated in our fantastic, well-located Cambridge office. We are looking for a senior engineer who can take responsibility for sections of the hardware design with a strong focus on quality, reliability, and security to meet the exacting needs of our customers and security certification requirements.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a track record of working on demanding projects and delivering high quality designs which form a part of complex systems. A demonstrated ability to work with a range of stakeholders from customers, product managers to software teams is essential. Experience working in the design of secure products would be an advantage.

Hardware Engineering at Entrust comprises Electronic Engineering, Digital Design, Mechanical and Thermal Engineering – the full scope of the physical product platform.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
