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 Lead Hardware Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level lead hardware engineer job?
Focus on building a portfolio that demonstrates hands-on hardware work: PCB designs, embedded systems projects, or senior capstone work all signal practical ability. Employers at this level look for familiarity with CAD or EDA tools, an understanding of hardware testing and debugging, and any internship or co-op experience. Tailoring your resume to highlight specific components or systems you have worked with gives you a concrete edge.
Which companies hire entry level lead hardware engineers?
Companies hiring entry level lead hardware engineers right now include Apple, Amazon, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise | HPE, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a mix of 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 lead hardware engineer jobs?
Yes, though hardware roles skew more on-site than software due to lab and prototyping requirements. About 18% of entry level lead hardware engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to involve design review, documentation, or firmware work that does not require a physical lab presence.
Are these new grad lead hardware engineer jobs?
Yes, many of these postings are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates and candidates with zero to two years of experience. A new-grad-friendly posting typically accepts internship credits or a strong project portfolio in place of full-time work history, and it lists foundational tools rather than demanding years of proprietary system experience.
Which industries hire the most entry level lead hardware engineers?
Entry Level lead hardware engineer roles concentrate in Electronics & Hardware, Technology & Software, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they are expanding product lines or hardware platforms and need engineers who can grow with the team from an early stage.
