About the role

Senior R&D Hardware Design Engineer This role has been designed as ‘’Onsite’ with an expectation that you will primarily work from an HPE office. Who We Are: Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the global edge-to-cloud company advancing the way people live and work. We help companies connect, protect, analyze, and act on their data and applications wherever they live, from edge to cloud, so they can turn insights into outcomes at the speed required to thrive in today’s complex world. Our culture thrives on finding new and better ways to accelerate what’s next. We know varied backgrounds are valued and succeed here. We have the flexibility to manage our work and personal needs. We make bold moves, together, and are a force for good. If you are looking to stretch and grow your career our culture will embrace you. Open up opportunities with HPE. Job Description: Senior R&D Hardware Design Engineer – Next‑Generation Networking Design at scale. Lead with impact. Build what powers the world’s networks. At Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Senior Engineers don’t just execute designs—they shape platforms, influence architecture, and drive technology forward. If you are an experienced hardware engineer who thrives on complex challenges and wants your work deployed at global scale, this is your opportunity.   HPE is a global technology leader built on innovation, trust, and technical excellence. We invest in experienced engineers by giving them meaningful ownership, exposure to advanced technologies, and the autonomy to solve real‑world problems. You’ll collaborate with highly skilled peers in an environment that values sound engineering judgment, continuous learning, and long‑term career growth.   Why HPE Networking? HPE Networking is one of our fastest‑growing and most strategic businesses, delivering open, standards‑based networking solutions across Branch, Campus, and Data Center environments worldwide. Our products support customers ranging from growing enterprises to the world’s largest hyper-scalers. As a senior member of the team, your designs will directly influence performance, reliability, and scalability across next‑generation networking platforms.   We are seeking a Senior R&D Hardware Design Engineer to join our high‑speed digital circuit design team, working on advanced networking systems where signal integrity, power integrity, and system‑level performance truly matter.   This is a role for engineers who want to lead technically, mentor others, and see their work shipped at scale.   HOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT   As a Senior Hardware Design Engineer, you will play a key technical role within a highly experienced R&D organization, contributing across the full hardware development lifecycle.   You will: • Lead and own complex hardware designs, including component selection, schematic capture, board‑level architecture, bring‑up, debug, and validation. • Drive high‑speed digital design decisions, addressing signal integrity, power distribution, and performance trade‑offs at the system level. • Partner closely with cross‑functional and multi‑site teams—including layout, validation, manufacturing, and firmware—to deliver production‑ready designs. • Influence design feasibility, margins, and reliability through upfront analysis and hands‑on validation. • Perform deep root‑cause analysis and empirical testing on new and evolving designs, setting technical direction and best practices. • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to continuous improvement of design methodologies and engineering standards. Why This Role Stands Out   • Senior‑level technical ownership on complex, high‑performance hardware • Exposure to cutting‑edge networking platforms deployed globally • Collaboration with experienced engineers across global R&D
