Computer hardware designer vs hardware design engineer

Differences between computer hardware designer and hardware design engineer duties and responsibilities

Computer hardware designer example responsibilities.

• Generate synthesis reports and automate simulation using Perl scripts.
• Optimize design, permitting implementation in a cheaper FPGA.
• Redesign most of the FPGA circuitry dedicate to this reflection.
• Provide concept drawings, proof of concept / prototyping, creating manufacturing drawings, and field support.
• Work as a team member to gather, classify, and document the software, hardware, and firmware requirements.
• Perform design specification and RTL implementation of functional units and 2D imaging memory controllers.

Hardware design engineer example responsibilities.

• Perform back-end flow from RTL code synthesis, timing driven physical design to achieve a timing closure type-out database.
• Lead design team through preliminary and detail design, including trade studies, requirement verification, system prototyping and testing.
• Develop hardware and user-friendly GUI driven software to automate the manufacturing test and debug of microprocessor/ DSP control VXI bus modules.
• Generate synthesis reports and automate simulation using Perl scripts.
• Implement SPI port, USB port and Ethernet port.
• Acquire insights on popular inter-board interfaces like PCI, SPI, I2C, UART, MII, RS232, etc.
