That's a great question! Being a hardware engineer is a fascinating and rewarding job. Hardware is complex and requires a good understanding of both hardware and software to make it work seamlessly. This means the job often involves a mix of designing, testing, and troubleshooting. The more you learn about hardware and software, the better you can optimize and innovate. It’s a career that keeps you engaged and constantly learning as technology evolves. If you enjoy problem-solving and working on cutting-edge technology, this could be a great path for you!
thank you for this answer and mentioning software, which is something i almost forgot about! i needed to know about this topic for a school project and almost turned it in while saying that you work without software

If you are a hands on person ( which I am). this hob lets you be technical and allow the hands on work you may crave.
Education is items like electronics and design of hardware. Often the jobs are like "hardware engineer" as you mention or it might be an architect.
Or even a chip developers.

Hello Carter, when I was in high school in the 1980s there was only one computer science class offered and I jumped at the chance! I love to write so my college Major is in English with a writing emphasis. I did not take a typical education path to my career as a Software Technical Support Engineer, a Hardware Quality Engineer (Tester), Software Engineer, and a Technical Writer.
If you find that you love to break things, a Hardware Quality Engineer may be a great job for you. I found this job on an internet job site.
If you find that you love to build things, a Hardware Engineer who designs and builds products may be something you'll enjoy.
Best of luck to you!
