Top Hardware Engineer Jobs in Milwaukee, WI

Design and verify digital circuit boards and FPGA-based subsystems for advanced MRI platforms. Develop RTL in VHDL or Verilog, integrate processors, memory, data converters, and communications interfaces, and support simulation, synthesis, timing closure, board bring-up, laboratory testing, debugging, and system integration. The role also includes technical mentoring, design reviews, architecture input, and engineering process improvement.

An 18-month rotational engineering training program involving assignments across engineering, operations, product development, and business functions. Participants complete real-world projects, receive mentorship, provide project updates, and deliver a capstone project. The role is fully on-site, may involve relocation and extended stays at other facilities, and includes domestic and occasional international travel. Successful participants may transition into mechanical, manufacturing, electrical engineering, project management, or product management roles.

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.

Design, verify, and debug mixed-signal circuit boards and electronic subsystems for MRI platforms. Responsibilities include schematic development, component selection, board bring-up, laboratory testing, interface validation, system integration, root-cause investigations, and support for signal integrity, EMC, reliability, and manufacturability. The role also offers technical leadership, mentoring, and opportunities to improve engineering practices across the product lifecycle.

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.

Designs, tests, troubleshoots, and verifies electronic hardware for safety controllers and I/O products. Responsibilities include microprocessor, memory, FPGA, Ethernet, USB, analog, digital, power, and I/O circuit development; PCB design; prototype builds; signal integrity measurements; EMC/EMI certification; environmental testing; design documentation; and functional safety development under IEC 61508. The role also supports performance, cost, manufacturability, quality, and test-efficiency improvements.

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.
