Top Senior 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.

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 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.

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.

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, 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.

Lead hardware board design from architecture through bring-up, validation, qualification and production readiness. Drive design specification, schematic capture, and test coordination. Collaborate with software, diagnostics, manufacturing, and test teams to resolve issues and ensure product readiness.

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