Hardware Engineer – Connected Infrastructure & Edge Systems

Andiamo is hiring on behalf of a client, an innovative technology organization focused on developing intelligent infrastructure management, networking, connectivity, and edge computing solutions used across enterprise, telecommunications, industrial, and mission-critical environments.

We are seeking a driven and technically curious Hardware Engineer to join a multidisciplinary product development team responsible for bringing next-generation hardware platforms from concept through production. This role offers the opportunity to work across hardware architecture, embedded systems, manufacturing, product validation, and regulatory compliance while collaborating with engineering teams around the globe.

Whether you're an experienced hardware engineer or a highly motivated recent engineering graduate eager to build real-world products, this role provides hands-on exposure to the full product lifecycle and meaningful opportunities for professional growth.

About The Role

As a Hardware Engineer, you will help design and support advanced networking and infrastructure management devices that operate at the edge of modern digital ecosystems. You will work closely with electrical, firmware, software, product management, manufacturing, and compliance teams to create reliable, scalable, and production-ready solutions.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, collaborating across disciplines, and seeing products evolve from initial concept to successful deployment in the field.

What You'll Do

Hardware Design & Product Development

• Contribute to the design and development of connected hardware platforms including networking devices, infrastructure management systems, serial communication products, and edge computing technologies.
• Review and evaluate electronic schematics, PCB layouts, mechanical assemblies, and component selections to ensure performance, manufacturability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
• Partner with product leadership to translate customer and market requirements into practical engineering solutions.
• Collaborate with firmware and software teams to ensure seamless integration between hardware and embedded systems.
• Support design decisions involving power management, signal integrity, thermal performance, and system reliability.
  
  

Embedded Systems & Firmware Support

• Assist with embedded platform development and maintenance activities.
• Contribute to firmware-related initiatives including boot processes, device drivers, diagnostics, hardware validation, and software deployment processes.
• Work within version control environments and participate in Agile development workflows.
• Support hardware-software integration efforts throughout the development lifecycle.
  
  

Prototype Development & Validation

• Build, evaluate, and refine prototype systems through iterative testing and analysis.
• Perform electrical measurements and system diagnostics to verify design functionality and performance.
• Utilize laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.
• Participate in product verification, reliability testing, and validation programs.
• Analyze test data and recommend design improvements to enhance quality and performance.
  
  

Manufacturing & Production Engineering

• Work directly with manufacturing partners, suppliers, and external engineering teams to support production readiness.
• Assist in resolving technical challenges that arise during prototype builds and volume manufacturing.
• Support continuous improvement efforts focused on product quality, reliability, scalability, and cost optimization.
• Collaborate on manufacturing process reviews and design-for-manufacturability initiatives.
  
  

Compliance, Certification & Documentation

• Create and maintain detailed engineering documentation including specifications, test procedures, manufacturing instructions, validation reports, and technical training materials.
• Support regulatory certification activities related to electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), wireless communications, emissions, and global product compliance requirements.
• Coordinate with independent testing laboratories and certification agencies to obtain and maintain required approvals.
• Help ensure products remain compliant with evolving international standards and market requirements.
• Maintain organized technical documentation that supports global product deployment and distribution.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Professional experience in hardware design, electronics development, networking products, telecommunications equipment, or similar technologies is preferred.
• Exceptional recent graduates with strong academic projects, internships, co-op experience, or relevant research experience are encouraged to apply.
• Understanding of digital and analog circuit design principles.
• Experience working with PCB design concepts, electronic schematics, and hardware debugging methodologies.
• Familiarity with power systems, signal integrity considerations, and electronic component selection.
• Hands-on experience using electronic test and diagnostic equipment.
• Strong analytical thinking and structured problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, manufacturing, product, and external partner teams.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with connected devices, IoT platforms, networking hardware, edge computing systems, or data center technologies.
• Knowledge of hardware security concepts including secure boot, platform attestation, certificates, and trusted computing architectures.
• Exposure to optical networking technologies, high-speed connectivity solutions, or telecommunications infrastructure.
• Experience working with contract manufacturers, original design manufacturers (ODMs), or global supply chain partners.
• Familiarity with product qualification testing, reliability engineering, EMI/EMC testing, and safety certification programs.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes including surface-mount technology (SMT), injection molding, machining, and final assembly operations.
• Additional language skills such as Spanish, Portuguese, or Mandarin are considered a plus when collaborating with international teams and manufacturing partners.
  
  

What Makes You Successful

• You enjoy building physical products and seeing your designs move from concept to production.
• You are naturally curious and enjoy troubleshooting complex technical challenges.
• You balance technical rigor with practical decision-making.
• You thrive in cross-functional environments where engineering, manufacturing, and business priorities intersect.
• You take ownership of your work and continuously look for ways to improve products, processes, and outcomes.
  
  

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This position offers the chance to work on sophisticated infrastructure and connectivity technologies that power modern enterprise environments. You'll gain exposure to the complete product lifecycle—from architecture and prototyping to manufacturing, compliance, and global deployment—while working alongside experienced engineers and industry experts.

In addition to challenging technical work, you'll benefit from strong career development opportunities, comprehensive benefits, retirement savings programs, generous paid time off, parental leave support, professional growth resources, and an inclusive culture that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.
