Top Senior Hardware Engineer Jobs in Seattle, WA

Lead hardware design and vendor projects, develop hardware automation and orchestration, troubleshoot and triage Tier 3 fleet hardware issues, participate in 24/7 on-call rotation, improve firmware/configuration automation, mentor teammates, and support scaling of data center server platforms and components.

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.

Design and deliver secure compute hardware for post-quantum cryptography and orbital/terrestrial systems. Own power, thermal, enclosure, and bus architecture design; collaborate with software, security, and systems teams; support FPGA integration, manufacturability, reliability, and environment-specific constraints (radiation, vibration, thermal-vacuum). Deliver iterative hardware releases on aggressive timelines.

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 and implement a novel AI inference engine through hardware-software co-design. Collaborate with ML, software, and cloud engineers; model PPA trade-offs; contribute to RTL design, simulation, verification, and roadmap planning to optimize inference for modern LLM workloads.

Design and own an automated hardware test rig integrated with CI/CD to build, flash, run, and report tests for a wearable AI device. Implement connectivity and throughput stress tests, long-duration audio and battery/thermal characterization, API-level tests, dashboards with regression flags, diagnostic tooling, and automation-driven bug triage. Establish nightly and weekly runs and partner with firmware to define automated vs. manual coverage.

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.

The Hardware Development Engineer designs and develops high-performance GPS receivers, managing all design phases from concept to production, ensuring compliance with quality and performance standards.
