Top Hardware Engineer Jobs in Cincinnati, OH

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.

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.

Design, develop, integrate, and validate gas turbine engine control software, control logic, simulation models, and associated hardware. Perform control-system analysis, verification, validation, HIL/SIL integration, engine test data analysis, and control-law tuning. Support EEC and FADEC development, engine testing, technical reviews, and cross-functional propulsion programs. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to additive manufacturing integration and aerospace qualification activities.

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.

Leads hardware verification and qualification testing across the program life cycle. Develops test requirements, plans, procedures, readiness reviews, test data, and formal reports. Executes tests, analyzes anomalies, performs root-cause analysis, troubleshoots complex hardware, software, and mechanical failures, and manages specialized test equipment. Leads cross-functional laboratory and field testing, serves as the technical customer point of contact, and supports formal technical reviews.

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.

Lead hardware integration and qualification testing: develop test requirements and procedures, execute and analyze tests, manage test equipment, lead cross-functional test events, perform root-cause analysis, and report results to stakeholders and customers.

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.
