<main role="main" id="content"> <section> <div> <div> <div> <span>Location: Solon, OH</span> <h1>Senior Hardware Engineer</h1> <div> <p>Eagle Wireless is a connectivity company delivering secure, reliable, and scalable cellular modules and solutions for automotive and IoT applications. With a strong presence in the United States and global R&amp;D teams across North America, Europe, and APAC, Eagle Wireless supports customers worldwide with long-life, compliant, and cyber-secure connectivity products. Focused on trust, supply chain resilience, and regulatory compliance, Eagle Wireless helps OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and IoT innovators deploy connected technologies with confidence in an increasingly complex global environment.</p> <p>We are looking for: Senior Hardware Engineer</p> <p>The Senior Hardware Engineer is a core individual contributor role embedded in Eagle’s global R&amp;D organization, working directly with the CTO and engineering leads across Solon, Minneapolis, Belgrade, Penang, and Germany. You will own hardware design from concept through production release — schematics, PCB layout, bring-up, validation, and certification — on cellular IoT and automotive connectivity modules. This is hands-on engineering work at the intersection of RF, mixed-signal hardware, and cellular connectivity, building the modules that power connected vehicles and IoT devices worldwide. Eagle is looking for an engineer who brings both deep hardware fundamentals and a genuine, practiced fluency with AI tools — someone who uses AI to move faster, reduce error, and deliver higher-quality designs, not just someone who is aware it exists. This position is based in the Solon, OH area or Minneapolis, MN area.</p> </div> </div> <div> <a href="#">Apply Now</a> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div> <div> <div> <h3>Key Requirements</h3> <p>Hardware Design &amp;
