Top Senior Hardware Engineer Jobs in Atlanta, GA

The Senior Project Engineering Manager oversees the technical execution of robotic systems, coordinating across teams and managing hardware delivery from concept to acceptance, ensuring project milestones are met and issues debugged.

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.

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.

Lead end-to-end hardware ownership for the Procell InSite platform: architect, design, validate, industrialize, and scale production. Manage internal hardware team, external design partners, contract manufacturers, and suppliers. Drive DFM/DFA, sourcing, production planning, and issue resolution. Collaborate cross-functionally with firmware, software, product, quality, and commercial teams to enable reliable, manufacturable, globally deployable hardware.

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

Design and lead development of hardware architectures for satellite communications and ground stations. Drive integration, verification, environmental and EMC testing, root-cause analysis, and hardware qualification. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, mentor junior engineers, produce technical documentation, and contribute to technology roadmaps while ensuring aerospace industry compliance.

Lead end-to-end design, development, validation, and troubleshooting of complex multi-layer PCB circuit packs. Perform schematic capture, signal integrity assessment, component selection, PCB layout guidance, lab validation, fabrication coordination, documentation for TL9000 compliance, and mentor junior engineers.

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 own hardware engineering: define strategy and roadmaps, manage full hardware lifecycle (IoT, CV, POS, KDS), drive R&D and edge compute platforms, manage procurement/OEM/vendor relations, ensure QA, regulatory compliance, hardware security, and cross-functional alignment.

Lead hardware operations and manufacturing for VotingWorks, oversee engineering and design, manage production scale-up, and enhance product quality standards.

Design, test, and validate next-generation server hardware and components for performance, power, and reliability. Diagnose and resolve hardware issues across engineering and manufacturing, document results, and develop/maintain test scripts. Collaborate with internal teams and OEM/ODM partners to scale platforms for global deployment.
