Roles and Responsibilities

This position encompasses conceptual and theoretical activities integrating electronic engineering with computer sciences to design and develop computer systems and other technological devices. It involves fundamental work in information and computation, focusing on specific results, computational problem properties, and implementation challenges in computer systems. You will:

• Evaluate hardware components such as CPUs, motherboards, memory modules, storage devices, and network interfaces for performance, compatibility, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Provide data-driven recommendations for selection and optimization.
• Design, develop, and execute hardware integration plans, including assembling, configuring, and testing hardware systems to ensure seamless integration with software, firmware, and other system components.
• Conduct comprehensive system-level testing and performance evaluation, including benchmarking, stress testing, and failure analysis, to identify bottlenecks, defects, and areas for improvement.
• Collaborate with software engineers to troubleshoot hardware-software interface issues, optimize system performance, and ensure compatibility between hardware components and software applications.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including hardware specifications, integration guides, test plans, test reports, and troubleshooting manuals.
• Stay updated with the latest industry trends, emerging hardware technologies, and industry standards (e.g., PCIe, DDR, SATA, USB) to recommend innovative hardware solutions and improve system performance.
• Support production and manufacturing teams by providing technical guidance on hardware assembly, testing, and quality control processes.
• Participate in cross-functional project meetings, contributing hardware expertise to project planning, timeline development, and risk mitigation.
• Troubleshoot and resolve hardware-related issues during system development, testing, and post-deployment phases.

Required Qualifications

This role requires a Bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college in Engineering/Technology & Computer Engineering and Science, or a high school diploma with equivalent relevant experience. Candidates should have:

• 5 years of relevant work experience in hardware engineering, with a focus on computer system evaluation, hardware integration, or related fields.
• Proven experience in evaluating and testing hardware components and subsystems, coupled with a strong understanding of hardware performance metrics and benchmarking methodologies.
• Experience in integrating hardware components (CPUs, memory, storage, network cards) into complete computer systems, including configuration and testing.

Desired Characteristics

Technical Skills

• Strong knowledge of computer hardware architecture, including x86/x64, ARM, or other relevant architectures.
• Proficiency in hardware testing tools and equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, benchmarking software).
• Familiarity with industry standards and protocols (PCIe, DDR4/DDR5, SATA, NVMe, Ethernet, USB).
• Ability to read and interpret hardware schematics, datasheets, and technical specifications.
• Experience with hardware troubleshooting and failure analysis, including root cause identification and resolution.
• Basic understanding of software-firmware-hardware interactions is a plus.
• Familiarity with operating systems (Windows, Linux) and their interaction with hardware components.

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex technical data and provide practical solutions.
• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written), with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and document technical information clearly.
• Detail-oriented, with a focus on quality and accuracy in testing and documentation.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong learning agility, with a willingness to adapt to new technologies and industry trends.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience in enterprise-level or industrial computer system integration.
• Familiarity with virtualization technologies (VMware, Hyper-V) and their impact on hardware performance.
• Certifications in hardware engineering (e.g., CompTIA A+, CompTIA Server+, Cisco Certified Network Associate) are a plus.
• Experience with custom hardware design or modification is a plus.
