Computer hardware designers and hardware engineers generally research, design, develop, and test computer hardware and supervise its manufacture and installation. This includes computer chips, circuit boards, computer systems, and related equipment such as keyboards, modems, and printers.
Hardware design work is similar to electrical engineering, but computer hardware engineers work exclusively with computers and computer-related equipment.
Computer technology advances largely result from research, development, and design efforts of hardware designers. To keep up with these advances, hardware designers must continually update their knowledge.
