Top Senior Hardware Engineer Jobs in Boston, MA

Lead the design, integration, testing, and troubleshooting of high-speed digital circuit cards and electronic systems for radar, electronic warfare, and sensing prototypes. Responsibilities include architecture, interface and clocking definition, signal and power integrity analysis, simulation, documentation, supplier and government interaction, performance validation, and mentoring junior engineers. The role leads small multidisciplinary teams and supports field-deployable prototype development.

Designs, develops, integrates, tests, and fields advanced RF hardware systems for defense applications. Responsibilities include defining requirements, selecting RF components, performing link-budget and related analyses, developing test plans, supporting assembly and integration, and analyzing test data. The engineer collaborates with multidisciplinary teams on radar, electronic warfare, communications, and potentially airborne systems throughout the development lifecycle.

Designs and prototypes RF hardware and analog/mixed-signal systems for hardware-in-the-loop, digital twin, and surrogate platforms. Characterizes and debugs complex electronic systems using laboratory test equipment, develops automated acquisition and control platforms, leads customer and internal test events, and represents hardware expertise on interdisciplinary teams. The role also supports technical proposals, design reviews, documentation, cost estimates, scheduling, and mentorship of junior engineers.

Tests, validates, and troubleshoots next-generation cloud server hardware for performance, power, reliability, and quality. Develops test scripts, documents results, identifies defects, recommends improvements, and resolves hardware issues across engineering and manufacturing environments. Requires hands-on embedded systems debugging, Linux and scripting experience, and knowledge of server architecture, firmware, operating systems, networking, storage, and hardware acceleration technologies.

Leads architecture, design, validation, and production implementation of complex hardware, including embedded controllers, analog and digital circuits, data converters, RF/microwave subsystems, and filters. Sets technical direction, mentors engineers, reviews designs, performs root-cause analysis, ensures regulatory compliance, and collaborates with firmware, software, mechanical, manufacturing, and customer teams.

Design and prototype sensor hardware, including PCBs, mechanical housings, and electromechanical systems for industrial environments. Develop test strategies, collect and analyze sensor data, integrate sensors with Zephyr RTOS platforms, and support field trials. Lead rapid R&D evaluations, product bringup, debugging, fabrication, and cross-functional system development.

Develop and own compute and GPU server platforms from architecture through global deployment. Responsibilities include schematic and layout reviews, design for manufacturability, new product introduction, board and system bring-up, validation, debugging, firmware and BIOS feature management, technology qualification, and vendor coordination. The role requires hands-on server architecture, board-level design, Linux and scripting expertise, platform validation, and five-day-per-week presence in the Cambridge office.

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 architecture and development of rugged board‑level hardware for high‑speed embedded systems. Design and verify advanced digital circuits (400G+, PCIe Gen5+, DDR5+), mentor engineers, establish hardware standards, support proposals, and drive DFM/DFA/DFT with cross‑functional teams to deliver high‑reliability defense/aerospace solutions.

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 Senior Hardware Integration and Test Engineer will lead hardware integration and testing tasks, develop test plans, manage project risks, and mentor junior engineers within a multidisciplinary team.

Design and develop hardware from concept through production for microcontroller-based systems. Create analog and mixed-signal circuits, power supplies, and manage signal integrity. Use EDA tools for schematic/PCB design, validate prototypes with lab equipment, ensure EMI/EMC compliance (automotive), and collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and test teams to ensure manufacturability and robustness.
