Performs preventive maintenance, diagnostics, installation, calibration, testing, and acceptance testing. Requires relocation to Kwajalein Atoll, U.S. citizenship, Secret clearance eligibility, and occasional weekend or non-duty-hours support.

Owns the hardware lifecycle for GPU and infrastructure assets, including fleet health monitoring, vendor RMA workflows, firmware and BIOS upgrades, burn-in testing, failure investigation, inventory accuracy, capacity planning, spare-parts strategy, runbook creation, and new platform qualification. The role serves as the technical owner of physical compute platforms and supports high-density GPU infrastructure across sites.

Validate server hardware components and new platform designs through power, thermal, performance, firmware, and automation testing. Maintain hardware test infrastructure, document technical findings, coordinate with ODM/OEM partners, and collaborate with software teams on BIOS, kernel, and firmware optimization. The role requires expertise in server architectures, validation methodologies, Linux, Python, Bash, Redfish, IPMI, and industry standards including PCIe, NVMe, and DDR.

Pipeline hiring for hardware engineers at all experience levels. Work includes circuit board design, schematic capture, component selection and prototype bring-up, hardware debug/testing and failure analysis, integration with firmware/software teams, and design for manufacturability with production handoff.

Lead standardization strategy for optical transport and Ethernet technologies, develop and advocate contributions to standards bodies (ITU‑T, IEEE, OIF, OpenROADM), coordinate with PLMs and R&D, report progress internally, provide technical influence and guidance, and represent Nokia at standards meetings and industry events.

Designs, develops, tests, and oversees manufacture of PCBs, analog/digital circuits, sensors, motors, and radar/navigation hardware. Architects circuits, performs simulations and layouts, builds and debugs prototypes, prepares manufacturing documentation, mentors junior engineers, and supports testing, deployment, sustainment, and proposals.

The Electrical Hardware Design Engineer will design, develop, and test complex electronic systems, collaborating across engineering disciplines to create solutions for defense and aerospace applications.

Lead hardware integration for shipboard electromechanical assemblies during TMRR, manage requirements, MBSE/Cameo review, verification/validation, integration planning, lab testing, troubleshooting, cross-functional coordination, technical reviews, trade studies, and mentor early-career engineers.

Provides technical leadership and customer support for Marvell switching, PHY, and processor SoC products. Architects hardware solutions, investigates and reproduces hardware and software issues, performs schematic reviews, debugs boot sequencing and customer-reported problems, and supports Linux BSPs, U-Boot, device drivers, and board designs. Serves as a liaison among customers, Avnet field applications engineers, and Marvell engineering teams, while delivering training and occasional customer-site support.

Lead design, architecture, integration, test, and deployment of HWIL systems for GNC, avionics, and missile subsystems. Own requirements, ICDs, wiring, V&V, and TDP configuration control. Manage a small multidisciplinary HWIL team, support TRR/ATP/QTP events, develop BOEs and IMS plans, and coordinate customer/partner deployments and capture support.

Design, build, and operate reliable backend systems while mentoring engineers, participating in design discussions, and improving system performance.
