what exactly do computer hardware
engineers do do they write code build
computers manage networks create
processors computer hardware engineers
use of the engineer design process to
create a specific set of items they tend
to create computer parts like processors
circuit boards memory devices networks
and routers they aren't limited to just
those items they can also be seen making
many other computer accessories similar
to external hard drives mice keyboards
and much more if you plan to be computer
hardware engineer you're going to be
expected to have a high school degree
and a bachelor's degree from an
authorized college at minimum if you
plan to be successful computer hardware
engineering you're most likely going to
need a few of these personality traits
like most engineers you have to be
motivated you obviously want to finish
your jobs than just quitting them
halfway through also having a good
social skills is quite important for
this job you most likely be talking to a
bunch of clients and workers will work
in just one project social skills will
also allow you to work well with a bunch
of other engineers which for sure will
happen when working on projects computer
hardware engineering is no one-man job
by far the most important trait is
critical thinking critical thinking
allows engineers to find strengths and
weaknesses they also can solve problems
and know how to solve these problems
effectively and correctly other than
knowing that you're bettering technology
you also have make it nice amount of
money computer hardware engineers are
expected to meet about $50 an hour and a
hundred thousand year the growing issue
with the computer hardware industry is
that it will grow about 7% from 2012 to
2022 which is a little slower than
average there is more innovation that
can be done with computer software that
was possible computer hardware you want
to see in computer hardware engineering
natural habitat you're expected to look
in a research laboratory designed for
computer hardware development these labs
are usually SUSE the most current
technology for developing computer
hardware usually manufacturer firms own
these labs a very popular company that
hires a bunch of hardware engineers in
to Intel in Santa Clara is currently
looking for hardware engineers the Job
Description is would you like to be part
of a team that defines it brings to life
cool new devices and wearables some
responsibilities for this team is to
able to define and create collateral for
new wearable platforms and devices
document hardware designs and system
integration with hardware software and
firmware this job requires a Bachelor of
Science degree in electrical engineering
or related field six to eight years in
hardware engineering for consumer
electronics and all-around strong
technical knowledge and a few other
similar requirements some skills that
require problem-solving time management
customer management work independently
and in a group now you know exactly what
computer hardware engineer does you know
everything from pay to education now you
should have a grasp on if this is the
engineering career for you
