Job Description
Description
Brivo is seeking a skilled Manufacturing Hardware Technician to support our manufacturing and new warehouse expansion in Austin. In this role, you will play a hands-on part in assembling, configuring, and testing computer systems and physical security hardware.
Unlike purely introductory assembly roles, this position is designed for technicians who already bring practical experience working with PC/server architecture, and low-level system setup (BIOS/firmware configuration). Working closely with our production leads, you will help establish dependable build processes, eliminate defects at the source, and ensure that mission-critical security hardware meets reliability standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Assemble and integrate computer systems, servers, and security hardware, including internal electrical wiring and cable routing.
- Configure system BIOS, flash firmware, install software, and run functional diagnostics.
- Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, wiring, and boot errors during assembly.
- Inspect finished builds for quality, electrical safety, and SOP compliance to eliminate defects.
- Support warehouse staging, workstation setup, and other production duties as assigned.
Skills, Knowledge & Expertise
- High school diploma, GED, or equivalent experience.
- 1–3 years of hands-on experience in computer hardware assembly, electronics, or warehouse manufacturing.
- Strong knowledge of PC/server components, low-voltage electrical wiring, and cable management.
- Proven experience navigating BIOS/UEFI settings, flashing firmware, and basic hardware diagnostics.
Why Work for Us?
Innovation drives our vibe, but purpose drives our mission. You will work on essential systems that protect the health, safety, and welfare of people and property worldwide. At Brivo, your voice is heard, your talent is respected, and your contributions have a global impact.
- The Brivo Experience: We thrive on in-person collaboration and a "one-team" atmosphere. We embrace our international presence, leveraging diverse ideas and backgrounds to improve our culture and our products. To keep our global teams connected and inspired, we provide a premium onsite experience featuring communal meals, recurring social events, and fully stocked workspaces—ensuring you have everything you need to stay focused while building the future of security.
- Total Rewards: We support our people with competitive medical, vision, and dental plans (including company-offset premiums), a 401k with company match, and a Paid Time Off (PTO) policy that empowers you to take the time you need to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
Individual compensation packages are based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, training, and market conditions. In addition, Brivonians enjoy a robust benefits and perks package tailored to their work location.

Entry Level Hardware Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level hardware designer job?
Entry level hardware designer roles go to candidates who can show hands-on work, so a portfolio of class projects, personal builds, or internship contributions carries real weight. Familiarity with PCB layout tools, circuit simulation software, and basic signal integrity concepts helps your application stand out. Internships at semiconductor or electronics firms are a common stepping stone, and campus recruiting programs at hardware-focused companies frequently target new graduates directly.
Which companies hire entry level hardware designers?
Companies hiring entry level hardware designers right now include Apple, Amazon, and Brivo, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a broad mix of employers, including consumer electronics manufacturers, defense contractors, semiconductor firms, and early-stage hardware startups that build engineering teams from the ground up.
Are there remote entry level hardware designer jobs?
Yes, though hardware roles trend more on-site than many tech positions because lab access and physical prototyping are part of the work. About 18% of entry level hardware designer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so options exist but require searching specifically for them. Hybrid arrangements are most common at larger companies with established remote engineering policies.
Are these new grad hardware designer jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior hardware designer roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-ops toward that threshold, or accepts a portfolio of academic and personal projects in place of full-time work history. Look for language like "entry level," "junior," or "new graduates encouraged to apply" in the job description.
Which industries hire the most entry level hardware designers?
Entry level hardware designer roles concentrate in Electronics & Hardware, Technology & Software, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they maintain active R&D pipelines, regularly launch new product lines, and need early-career engineers to support prototyping, testing, and design iteration alongside senior staff.
