You Are
What You'll Be Doing
- Partner with the System Architect to define product specifications, translating system-level requirements into mechanical design constraints and documentation
- Design, model, and release mechanical components and assemblies for HAPS modules, infrastructure, and rack systems using CAD tools like SolidWorks, Creo, or Siemens NX
- Create detailed mechanical drawings, assembly instructions, and bill of materials documentation for manufacturing and production release
- Manage procurement workflows for mechanical components, working with vendors and suppliers to ensure quality, cost, and timeline targets are met
- Validate designs through prototyping, testing, and cross-functional review, iterating based on thermal, electrical, and serviceability feedback
- Collaborate daily with electrical and thermal engineering teams to resolve integration issues, optimize layouts, and ensure system-level performance
- Use product data management tools like Teamcenter to track design revisions, manage releases, and maintain configuration control across product lifecycles
The Impact You Will Have
- Improve the mechanical robustness and manufacturability of HAPS emulation systems that enable faster semiconductor prototyping and verification
- Reduce time to market for next-generation emulation platforms by streamlining design-to-production workflows and eliminating late-stage integration issues
- Enable better thermal performance and system reliability through thoughtful mechanical design that accounts for real-world operating conditions
- Strengthen cross-disciplinary collaboration by bridging mechanical, electrical, and thermal engineering perspectives in system-level decision-making
- Contribute to Synopsys' leadership in hardware-assisted verification by delivering emulation platforms that customers depend on for critical design work
- Support the adoption of new technologies and design methodologies that will shape future HAPS platform generations
- Help build a design and documentation foundation that scales as the product line grows and evolves
What You'll Need
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in electronic hardware design, product development, or mechanical engineering for complex assemblies
- Proficiency in mechanical CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, or Siemens NX, with the ability to create production-ready models and drawings
- Experience with product data management systems like Teamcenter or similar PLM tools for managing design releases and configuration control
- Strong understanding of printed circuit board assemblies, enclosures, thermal management, and electromechanical integration
- Experience with Siemens NX is a plus, as is familiarity with rack-mounted systems, high-density electronics packaging, or emulation hardware
Who You Are
Curious: You enjoy exploring and learning new technologies.
Collaborative: You thrive in cross-functional team environments.
Innovative: You propose and implement creative solutions to complex problems.
Adaptable: You are comfortable working across multiple aspects of product development.
Detail-Oriented: You consistently deliver high-quality, precise work.

Mid Level Hardware Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level hardware engineer job?
Position your experience around ownership, not just participation. Highlight projects where you drove design decisions, debugged hardware failures independently, or took a subsystem from schematic through bring-up. Tailor your resume to show measurable outcomes, such as improved yield, reduced power draw, or faster validation cycles. Recruiters at this level want evidence you can run a workstream, not just contribute to one.
Which companies hire mid level hardware engineers?
Companies hiring mid level hardware engineers right now include Apple, Amazon, and Amazon Web Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hiring at this level covers large semiconductor firms, consumer electronics companies, defense contractors, and growth-stage startups that need engineers who can own hardware programs without heavy management oversight.
Are there remote mid level hardware engineer jobs?
Yes, though hardware roles skew more on-site than software due to lab and prototyping requirements. About 11% of mid level hardware engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, concentrated in roles focused on design, simulation, and documentation rather than hands-on bring-up or hardware testing that requires physical lab access.
How do I move up to a mid level hardware engineer role?
Moving from entry level to mid level means building a record of deeper ownership over time. Focus on completing full design cycles, not just supporting them. Take on progressively harder debugging problems, volunteer to own a subsystem, and document your contributions with measurable results. Engineers who grow into mid level positions typically show consistent improvement in technical judgment and the ability to work with less direction.
Which industries hire the most mid level hardware engineers?
Mid Level hardware engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Electronics & Hardware, and E-Commerce & Online Marketplaces, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive demand because they require complex, custom hardware at scale, where mid level engineers who can own designs and iterate quickly are far more valuable than generalists still building foundational skills.
