Top Senior Hardware Engineer Jobs in Atlanta, GA

Lead the Platform Firmware team at Samsara, driving hardware program execution, managing firmware engineers, and collaborating with various stakeholders for high-quality hardware delivery.

The Systems Engineer validates sold solutions, participates in engineering and customer discussions, defines system interfaces and specifications, coordinates simulation updates, and plans and executes software acceptance, emulation, integration, throughput, and system acceptance testing. The role also guides system tuning and adjustments while collaborating with geographically distributed teams and customers. Approximately 60% annual travel is required.

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.

Leads board hardware design projects from requirements through schematic creation, simulation, layout coordination, validation, bring-up, debugging, and engineering changes. Collaborates with architects, product managers, mechanical and physical design engineers, signal integrity teams, firmware, validation, customers, and contractors. Designs high-speed PCBs and DC/DC regulator circuits, manages components and bills of materials, writes functional specifications and test plans, and supports multiple concurrent assignments.

Design, prototype, test, and iterate in-house four-wheeled and quadruped robotic platforms. Lead mechanical, electrical, and embedded hardware development from rapid prototypes to manufacturable, deployable products, incorporating customer feedback and overseeing reliability and production readiness.

Own the hardware-software interface for production robotic platforms: develop sensor and actuator drivers, manage communication buses and Linux configurations, integrate new hardware, monitor system health, build edge/cloud device management, and support field-deployed robots through diagnostics and validation.

Design and execute comprehensive hardware tests, develop manufacturing test setups and automated test systems, analyze results to identify defects, collaborate with engineering to resolve issues, mentor junior engineers, and document procedures to ensure production readiness.

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.

Lead and grow a compiler, kernel, and runtime engineering team responsible for accelerator bring-up across the Modular stack. Drive technical direction, architecture, coding, roadmap delivery, vendor partnerships, SOWs, milestones, cross-team dependencies, hiring, and production-quality model deployment across diverse hardware platforms.

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.

Leads global hardware engineering and architecture for servers, firewalls, security appliances, switches, and access points. Defines system architectures, coordinates board and system design, power, signal integrity, mechanical and thermal engineering, validation, and compliance. Oversees internal and JDM/ODM development, executive reporting, product strategy, budgets, hiring, and team development while partnering with Software, Product, Finance, Operations, and Supply Chain.

Design, evaluate, and integrate passive and active optical components and subsystems for DWDM systems. Develop mixed-signal electronics and control algorithms, perform laboratory testing and automated data acquisition, analyze performance data, drive qualification and reliability testing, and collaborate cross-functionally through product development and production support.

Design, evaluate, integrate, and qualify passive and active optical components and subsystems for DWDM transport. Develop mixed-signal hardware, control electronics, and test automation. Perform lab characterization, data analysis, cross-functional design reviews, and support product qualification and supplier collaboration.

The role involves optimizing hardware support within a software stack for AI model deployment, collaborating with teams and hardware vendors to enhance performance and portability across platforms.

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.

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