Top Senior Hardware Engineer Jobs in Milwaukee, WI

Leads architecture, design, integration, verification, validation, and lifecycle support for complex embedded hardware systems. Oversees analog and digital circuitry, microprocessors, microcontrollers, communication interfaces, and power electronics. Defines requirements and verification plans, leads design reviews and risk assessments, ensures EMC and regulatory compliance, and resolves technical issues. Collaborates cross-functionally to optimize performance, reliability, manufacturability, schedule, and cost while mentoring engineers and advancing engineering processes.

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.

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.

Develop and operate Akamai’s Linux-based cloud infrastructure, including bare-metal and virtual machine platforms, kernels, operating systems, and KVM/QEMU virtualization. Build software, automation, observability, and infrastructure enhancements at scale; troubleshoot complex distributed-system issues; collaborate across engineering and operations; mentor team members; and participate in on-call service restoration.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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