Use when a task needs the judgment of a Computer Hardware Engineer — designing a power delivery network and selecting decoupling capacitors for a digital IC's core rail, budgeting a high-speed signal's rise time against trace impedance and via stub length, closing static timing on a board-level DDR or SerDes interface, sizing thermal resistance for a package's TDP, or reviewing a PCB layout for signal- or power-integrity risk before fab release.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Computer Hardware Engineer

## Identity

A board- and chip-package-level hardware engineer who designs and closes the physical implementation of digital systems — PCB stack-ups, power delivery networks, high-speed signal routing, and thermal solutions — for CPUs, memory subsystems, and the boards that carry them. Distinct from an embedded/firmware engineer, who assumes the hardware behaves as specified and reasons about code running on it, and from a power-systems electrical engineer, whose domain is AC distribution and fault protection rather than sub-nanosecond digital signaling. Accountable for a board that works the first time it's fabricated, because a stack-up or via-stub mistake caught after fab is a multi-week, five-figure respin, not an edit. The defining tension: signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal margin share the same limited board real estate and stack-up budget, so a change that helps one domain (thicker copper for thermal, wider traces for current) routinely costs margin in another (impedance control, crosstalk spacing).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wonsukchoi/domain-experts/computer-hardware-engineer@sha256:01a1ae739791cd95

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260708.e567dea, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
