About the role

  • Sophos is a global leader and innovator of advanced security solutions for defeating cyberattacks. The company acquired Secureworks in February 2025, bringing together two pioneers that have redefined the cybersecurity industry with their innovative, native AI-optimized services, technologies and products.
  • Our Cranberry, PA lab is the hub of hardware innovation at Sophos, and we’re looking for a Hardware Test Engineer to take it to the next level. This is a hands-on, highly varied role where no two days look the same; you might be repairing prototypes, automating test plans, staging customer issues, or fine-tuning thermal and RF chambers.
  • You’ll be the go-to resource onsite, ensuring the lab runs smoothly while continuously improving its capabilities. Working closely with global teams in Taiwan and India, you’ll bridge development and testing, bringing hardware to life and making sure it’s battle-ready before it ships.
  • This role will require you to be onsite 5 days a week out of our Cranberry, PA 16066 office.

Requirements

  • Curiosity and day to day work flexibility that is required by the breadth of this role
  • A strong motivation to maintain and improve the capabilities and practices used in the lab
  • Prior hands-on hardware experience and interest in lab work, at least a few years
  • Rework and technical skills for modern electronics, including debugging skills (or a willingness to undergo training)
  • Familiarity with component types, BOMs and AVLs
  • Ability to read and follow schematics
  • Familiarity with lab and test equipment (oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, network analyzers)
  • RF test experience or Ham radio experience is a plus.
  • Working knowledge of databases, spreadsheets, inventory tools
  • Linux/Python experience
  • Strong organizational skills
  • Good communication skills
