What jobs in the US Air Force deals with computer hardware engineering?

One day I would like to join the USAF one day and I would like to engineer computer hardware for the military somehow because I know there are engineers and scientists in the Air Force. What kind of jobs in the USAF let you engineer computer hardware.

1. Avionics...need a college degree before you enlist...
2. Bro, you can keep asking the same question in different ways. But the answer's the same. The AF doesn't really do that: they contract it out. You can be involved in such a project as part of the Special Program Office (SPO-every weapon system has one), but you are just overseeing the development work of others. You possibly could write test plans and oversee DT&E, OT&E and acceptance testing, but the "engineering" ie the modifications to the hw/sw is done by the contractor.
3. computer engineers in the air force? does not exist! computer engineers are contracted with contractors like general dynamics. However, those contractors are prior military, because as an enlisted we are called maintainers, but we work with those computer engineers and thats how we gain experience. I work a voice network systems and we deal alot with computers and large systems.
