Top Senior Hardware Engineer Jobs in Ann Arbor, MI

Leads the design release of propulsion controller hardware for production vehicles. Owns hardware requirements, supplier negotiations, electrical and mechanical interfaces, design reviews, prototypes, PPAP readiness, and warranty-quality targets. Coordinates cross-functional product development teams, supports sourcing, validates hardware for vehicle milestones, and provides technical leadership and mentorship.

Owns the hardware lifecycle for GPU and infrastructure assets, including fleet health monitoring, vendor RMA workflows, firmware and BIOS upgrades, burn-in testing, failure investigation, inventory accuracy, capacity planning, spare-parts strategy, runbook creation, and new platform qualification. The role serves as the technical owner of physical compute platforms and supports high-density GPU infrastructure across sites.

Validate server hardware components and new platform designs through power, thermal, performance, firmware, and automation testing. Maintain hardware test infrastructure, document technical findings, coordinate with ODM/OEM partners, and collaborate with software teams on BIOS, kernel, and firmware optimization. The role requires expertise in server architectures, validation methodologies, Linux, Python, Bash, Redfish, IPMI, and industry standards including PCIe, NVMe, and DDR.

Pipeline hiring for hardware engineers at all experience levels. Work includes circuit board design, schematic capture, component selection and prototype bring-up, hardware debug/testing and failure analysis, integration with firmware/software teams, and design for manufacturability with production handoff.

Develop embedded automotive diagnostic products, including PC boards, firmware, vehicle communication systems, and battery management hardware. Design electronic circuits and implement automotive protocols, while building validation tests, test systems, and product tools using C, C++, and C#. Debug and improve hardware, firmware, and software quality through testing and code reviews. Collaborate with technology teams and customers to resolve product issues and enhance diagnostic solutions.

Design and integrate high-performance computing systems, manage hardware configurations, debug issues, and collaborate with software teams to ensure optimal performance.

Lead standardization strategy for optical transport and Ethernet technologies, develop and advocate contributions to standards bodies (ITU‑T, IEEE, OIF, OpenROADM), coordinate with PLMs and R&D, report progress internally, provide technical influence and guidance, and represent Nokia at standards meetings and industry events.

Provides technical leadership and customer support for Marvell switching, PHY, and processor SoC products. Architects hardware solutions, investigates and reproduces hardware and software issues, performs schematic reviews, debugs boot sequencing and customer-reported problems, and supports Linux BSPs, U-Boot, device drivers, and board designs. Serves as a liaison among customers, Avnet field applications engineers, and Marvell engineering teams, while delivering training and occasional customer-site support.

Serve as the technical bridge between Karman and customer hardware: design and validate hardware integration layers, develop and debug embedded firmware and FPGA RTL, lead customer technical engagements, produce integration artifacts and bring-up documentation, manage end-to-end execution from POC through deployment, and build repeatable processes to scale application engineering.

Design, build, and operate reliable backend systems while mentoring engineers, participating in design discussions, and improving system performance.
