Top Hardware Engineer Jobs in Raleigh, NC

Lead end-to-end hardware development of electromagnetic and ultrasonic water metering products: architecture, schematic and PCB design, prototyping, validation, manufacturing support, test-plan execution for accuracy and reliability, and mentor junior engineers while collaborating across firmware, systems, mechanical, test, and manufacturing teams.

Lead architecture, design, validation, and troubleshooting of DC-DC power delivery systems for compute, storage, and AI platforms. Drive component qualification, EMI/thermal/reliability testing, supplier and ODM collaboration, root-cause analysis, and mentor junior engineers while influencing product architecture and roadmaps.

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.

The Principal Hardware Engineer will design high-speed digital hardware and maintain product integrity, managing designs from concept to production.

Lead physical design for complex SoCs from synthesis through GDS and tape-out. Drive floorplanning, PNR, clock construction, timing closure, physical verification, and IR/EM signoff. Improve tools and flows, optimize PPA, and collaborate with RTL, DFT, architecture, and R&D teams to meet foundry specifications.

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.

Designs and executes hardware test strategies for wireless power products. Develops test specs, fixtures, and software; performs component-level troubleshooting; validates product and fixture qualification; documents results and reports issues to stakeholders.

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 manufacturing engineering for Microsoft cloud hardware: plan factory capacity and layouts, manage suppliers and production risks, standardize processes, implement quality systems (SPC, vision, automation), lead root-cause analysis and continuous improvement (8D, Six Sigma, DFMEA/PFMEA), drive AI/ML and predictive maintenance adoption, validate designs for manufacturability, and deliver metrics and governance for mass production.

As a System Engineer, you'll design, deploy, and maintain cloud systems for AI workloads, troubleshoot complex issues, and collaborate with teams to optimize performance.

The Hardware Test Reliability Engineer will develop and execute test plans for ensuring product compliance and reliability, perform environmental tests, and collaborate with multiple teams for quality improvements.

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.

Lead SI/PI technical work for next-generation ASIC packaging: define design rules, run pre/post-layout SI/PI simulations, analyze substrate SI/PI, collaborate with layout and system teams, mentor engineers, and drive packaging design and validation for high-performance ASICs.

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.

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