What can a hardware engineer do?
What is the difference between Hardware Engineer vs Electrical Engineer?
| Aspect | Hardware Engineer | Electrical Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering | Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or related field |
| Work Environment | Designing and testing hardware components, working in labs or offices | Designing electrical systems, working in labs, manufacturing, or field |
| Industry Usage | Electronics, computer hardware, telecommunications | Power systems, electronics, telecommunications, manufacturing |
Hardware Engineers focus on designing and developing physical electronic components and systems, while Electrical Engineers work on electrical systems and power distribution. Both roles require similar educational backgrounds and often collaborate in technology industries.
What does a hardware engineer do?
A hardware engineer, or computer hardware engineer, specializes in all aspects of computer hardware, including testing, repairing, building, and maintaining its efficiency. As a hardware engineer, your responsibilities include developing and installing new hardware systems for businesses, providing tech support to users with hardware issues, along with designing and building new products for manufacturers. You may specialize in areas such as internal components, servers, electrical engineering, cellular and tablet devices, or traditional computers and networks.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a hardware engineer, and why are they important?

Job description
Rockwell Automation is a global technology leader focused on helping the world's manufacturers be more productive, sustainable, and agile. With more than 28,000 employees who make the world better every day, we know we have something special. Behind our customers - amazing companies that help feed the world, provide life-saving medicine on a global scale, and focus on clean water and green mobility -our people are energized problem solvers that take pride in how thework we do changes the world for the better.
We welcome all makers, forward thinkers, and problem solvers who are looking for a place to do their best work. And if that's you we would love to have you join us!
Job Description
Why Join Us
At Rockwell Automation, you won't just be designing another incremental hardware update - you'll help shape the next generation of industrial motion control platforms.
As an Embedded Hardware Engineer, you will work on complex, highperformance electronics that sit at the core of motion systems used across global industrial applications.
You will have the opportunity to:
- Build hardware and product - taking designs from idea to production
- Work in a deeply technical and versatile environment
- Design embedded hardware or converters, inverters and ICT technology for industrial environment.
- Grow both technically and professionally, with increasing scope, responsibility, and influence over product direction and architecture.
- Our global engineering culture values collaboration, technical thoughtfulness, and new ideas. The environment is fastpaced and dynamic contributing to multiple products.
You will work on a team comprised of engineers across multiple disciplines (e.g., mechanical, power electronics, embedded software) to bring our product roadmaps to life.
Expand Beyond Traditional Servo Drives
While you will work on advanced servo drive hardware, its scope goes well beyond conventional motion control. You will also contribute to the evolution of Independent Cart Technology (ICT) - a growing motion technology that introduces new architectural challenges and opportunities, including:
- Distributed control, network and power architectures
- Highperformance communication and synchronization
- Scalability, modularity, and systemlevel robustness
The Essentials - You Will Have:
- Bachelor's Degree in Relevant Field.
The Preferred - You Might Also Have:
- Typically requires a minimum of 5 years experience.
- Advanced understanding of fundamental electrical engineering principles, including circuit analysis, control theory, and electromagnetics, applied to complex, realworld industrial systems.
- Expertise in designing and supporting power supplies and embedded control hardware in productiongrade products, including processors, memory, peripherals, and industrial interfaces.
- Expertise in analog and mixedsignal circuit design, including signal conditioning, filter design, voltage and current sensing, gatedrive circuits, and protection circuitry.
- Experience laboratory and hardware bringup skills, including use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analysis equipment, systematic hardware debug techniques and ability to write low-level drivers.
- Practical experience with EMI/EMC mitigation techniques, PCB layout best practices, highspeed digital design considerations, thermal management, and noiserobust hardware architectures.
- Practical experience communicating complex hardware and system-level concepts to stakeholders
- Proficiency with modeling and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, LTspice, Simplorer, HyperLynx, Maxwell, or similar) for systemlevel analysis, signal integrity evaluation, and hardware trade studies.
- Working knowledge of embedded and programmable hardware platforms, including microprocessors, digital logic devices, CPLDs, FPGAs, and Ethernetbased industrial communication (IEEE 802.3).
- Experience with test automation (for example Python), and data analysis tools.
- Exposure to AIenabled hardware, AIassisted design tools, or datadriven engineering workflows.
- Knowledge of securityenabled hardware architectures and securebydesign principles, including hardware root of trust, secure boot, device identity, and secure update mechanisms, with awareness of industrial cybersecurity and safety standards such as EN/IEC 50742 and their application across the product development lifecycle.
- Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering
What We Offer
- Health Insurance including Medical, Dental and Vision
- 401k
- Paid Time off
- Parental and Caregiver Leave
- Flexible Work Schedule where you will work with your manager to enjoy a work schedule that can be flexible with your personal life.
