What you will be doing (Role Duties and Responsibilities)
As a Hardware Engineer at Rochester you will work as part of a multi-discipline team on complex high
reliability electronic systems. Our leading-edge capabilities in micro-electronics, image processing and
high integrity systems are second to none, making us a world leader in defence avionics. Specific
roles of a Hardware Engineer include decision making regarding electronic product content, optimising
hardware and software design concepts and synthesising design from a range of components and
advanced technology options. There are other aspects to these roles as well, from developing
sophisticated design processes through to developing and testing complex and intelligent products.
Within these roles you can expect to be involved with a large range of design activities including:
Hardware architecture
High speed digital design
FPGA design
Analogue/mixed signal board design
PCB layout
Design for EMC/EMI
Design for safety
Design to cost (DTC)
Design for manufacture (DFM)
Hardware Engineers require good communication skills as they are in constant contact with other
engineering functions and departments on site. This could be within a project team working along
side Systems and Software Engineers or with groups outside of the project such as procurement
and manufacturing.
As a Graduate Hardware Engineer you will be given the opportunity to learn to use the latest Electronic
Design Automation (EDA) packages including:
Mentor Graphics Design Architect
Simetrix
ICX
Mentor Graphics ModelSim
MathWorks/MATLAB
