Hardware Design Engineer

Summary

The Electrical Hardware Engineer works with cross-functional teams including other designers, customers, manufacturing engineering, and project leadership to ensure robust and high-quality product development. They enhance designs with feedback from reviews in areas such as manufacturing, test, supply chain, reliability, industrial design, and simulations. They also provide support throughout the manufacturing process of the electrical/mechanical system they have designed.

The Electrical Hardware Engineer develops new electrical systems/circuits for various applications. They research system ideas, create architectures for these systems, and then capture them in schematics and system specifications. They test, simulate, validate, and qualify their systems, making adjustments as needed.
