Computer hardware designer vs lead hardware engineer

Differences between computer hardware designer and lead 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.

Lead hardware engineer example responsibilities.

• Generate synthesis reports and automate simulation using Perl scripts.
• Create shell scripts to do batch testing and debug FPGA design.
• Participate in digital signal processing (FPGA) hardware design and integration.
• Develop test procedures and methodologies to test bases station and handheld RF hardware.
• Debug Linux systems and load applications into Linux file systems using command line.
• Specify and design Ethernet access module which interface to atm-base OC-3 access product.
