Computer hardware designer vs hardware engineer

Differences between computer hardware designer and hardware 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.
