Conducts validation testing for tolerances, form, fit, function, EMI, safety, reliability, thermal performance, shock, vibration, and power. Collaborates with internal and outsourced development partners to deliver reliable, cost-effective hardware solutions. The role requires a local employee and primarily office-based work despite the stated hybrid designation.

Support selection, specification, integration, testing, qualification, and verification of spacecraft GN&C flight hardware for lunar missions. Responsibilities include developing requirements and interfaces, managing supplier and procurement activities, performing trade studies and risk assessments, supporting environmental and acceptance testing, troubleshooting integration anomalies, conducting HIL and system tests, and preparing technical documentation. The role also supports flight readiness, mission operations preparation, and post-test or post-flight analysis.

Designs and verifies ultra-high-speed PCB circuits and new routing-system hardware for Nokia’s Service Router products. Responsibilities include schematic and board design, simulation, design verification, production release, board bring-up, debugging, and hardware-lab testing. The role also maintains hardware and system integrity while collaborating with engineering teams to deliver reliable high-performance digital hardware.

Design compact connected hardware from concept through prototyping and validation for IoT devices. Optimize for connectivity, energy efficiency, durability, usability, and manufacturability. Collaborate with software and engineering teams, participate in design reviews, and apply current hardware design trends and tools.

Design and develop wireless power transfer and energy-harvesting hardware for IoT and wearable devices. Apply power electronics, RF and electromagnetic theory to create ICs and circuits, integrate solutions into scalable systems, optimize energy efficiency, and drive sustainable innovation for large sensor networks.

Designs electrical control systems for conveyor and material-handling equipment, including power calculations, 480V and 120V schematics, I/O drawings, PLC and panel layouts, field-device layouts, and material specifications. Collaborates with customers, sales engineers, and project managers to define requirements. Inspects, tests, commissions, and troubleshoots motor control panels for compliance with design standards, codes, and project specifications.

Designs and maintains high-speed digital hardware for Nokia Service Router products. Responsibilities include ultra-high-speed PCB circuit design, simulation, verification testing, board bring-up, laboratory debugging, and taking complex board designs from concept through production release. The role requires collaboration with engineering teams, ownership of hardware integrity, and practical use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and digital debugging tools.

Supports the design, selection, integration, qualification, environmental testing, verification, and troubleshooting of spacecraft GN&C flight hardware, including sensors, actuators, and avionics interfaces. Responsibilities include trade studies, vendor management, AIT support, HIL and integrated system testing, technical documentation, flight readiness preparation, and post-test or post-flight analysis.
