Hardware Engineers are responsible for designing, developing, testing, and troubleshooting computer systems and components, ensuring high performance and reliability using the latest technology. They collaborate with Software Engineers to guarantee software and hardware are properly calibrated, and they are responsible for research, prototyping, and implementing innovative solutions to complex technical problems. Hardware Engineers typically require a strong background in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or related fields, as well as expertise in computer programming languages to perform their duties effectively.

Hardware engineers responsibilities span the entire lifecycle of a product, from the initial conceptualisation phase to the final stages manufacturing and quality assurance testing. This involves thorough research, analysing data, and making strategic decisions regarding materials and components to be employed in their designs, keeping factors such as durability, cost-effectiveness, and energy efficiency in mind.
