Top Hardware Engineer Jobs in Rochester, NY

Design and debug embedded firmware and hardware end-to-end: schematic and PCB layout, firmware development, hardware bring-up, RF and board-level diagnostics, failure analysis, component selection, and manufacturing support to deliver secure, wearable biometric authentication devices compliant with relevant standards.

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

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.

Lead electrical architecture and hardware development for battery and fuel cell products: define component specs, design and validate schematics and PCB layouts, prototype and test, ensure safety and compliance (FMEDA/FTA/S/DFMEA), optimize for manufacturing, diagnose issues, and mentor junior engineers while collaborating cross-functionally.

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.

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.

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.

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.
