Top Hardware Engineer Jobs in Baton Rouge, LA

Design and develop wireless power transfer and energy-harvesting hardware for IoT and wearable devices. Apply power electronics, RF and electromagnetic theory to create ICs and circuits, integrate solutions into scalable systems, optimize energy efficiency, and drive sustainable innovation for large sensor networks.

Tests, validates, and troubleshoots next-generation cloud server hardware for performance, power, reliability, and quality. Develops test scripts, documents results, identifies defects, recommends improvements, and resolves hardware issues across engineering and manufacturing environments. Requires hands-on embedded systems debugging, Linux and scripting experience, and knowledge of server architecture, firmware, operating systems, networking, storage, and hardware acceleration technologies.

Designs and maintains high-speed digital hardware for Nokia Service Router products. Responsibilities include ultra-high-speed PCB circuit design, simulation, verification testing, board bring-up, laboratory debugging, and taking complex board designs from concept through production release. The role requires collaboration with engineering teams, ownership of hardware integrity, and practical use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and digital debugging tools.

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.

Designs electrical control systems for conveyor and material-handling equipment, including power calculations, 480V and 120V schematics, I/O drawings, PLC and panel layouts, field-device layouts, and material specifications. Collaborates with customers, sales engineers, and project managers to define requirements. Inspects, tests, commissions, and troubleshoots motor control panels for compliance with design standards, codes, and project specifications.

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.

Develop and own compute and GPU server platforms from architecture through global deployment. Responsibilities include schematic and layout reviews, design for manufacturability, new product introduction, board and system bring-up, validation, debugging, firmware and BIOS feature management, technology qualification, and vendor coordination. The role requires hands-on server architecture, board-level design, Linux and scripting expertise, platform validation, and five-day-per-week presence in the Cambridge office.

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.

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.

Debug and resolve complex hardware/software issues for manufacturing test stations. Lead commissioning and release-to-manufacturing of opto-electrical test stations, improve test uptime, provide documentation and support to contract manufacturers and vendors, coordinate equipment RFQs/RMAs, and use AI tools for data analysis.

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.

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