Top Hardware Engineer Jobs in Chicago, IL

10-week Hardware Engineer internship involving hands-on projects, classroom training on markets and hardware design, mentorship, professional development, and social events. Requires RTL coding skills and offers potential full-time placement.

Entry-level hardware engineer role developing and testing low-latency hardware for trading systems. Collaborate across software and trading teams, drive projects from idea to production, and apply RTL languages and system design to optimize performance.

Design, implement, and deploy ML inference engines on custom FPGA/ASIC hardware. Perform HW/SW co-design with traders and researchers, optimize neural networks for low latency, and build quantization/compression tools to translate ML frameworks to RTL for rapid production deployment.

Develop and maintain hardware and low-level software across the network stack, from FPGA NIC packet processing and PCIe crossings to kernel socket engineering. Write and debug high-performance Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL and C/C++ code, evaluate system performance, test large datasets, collaborate with Ops and Technical teams, and manage project releases.

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.

The RF Hardware Engineer drives improvements in RF design, manages vendors, conducts testing, and debugs RF issues across projects.

Design and maintain embedded hardware for intelligent control and monitoring systems, including analog, digital, mixed-signal circuits, PCBs, power systems, sensors, and industrial communications. Support firmware development, system integration, testing, regulatory compliance, manufacturing, and field diagnostics. Translate customer and market needs into product specifications, contribute to new product development, and collaborate with global engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and customers. Travel domestically and internationally approximately 10–20%.

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.

Debug and resolve complex hardware/software issues for manufacturing test stations. Lead commissioning and release-to-manufacturing of opto-electrical test stations, improve test uptime, provide documentation and support to contract manufacturers and vendors, coordinate equipment RFQs/RMAs, and use AI tools for data analysis.

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.

As a Digital Hardware Development Engineer, you will develop and maintain control hardware for public safety radio products, including digital and analog circuitry.

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.
