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.

Lead hardware engineering for IoT devices focusing on PCB design, embedded firmware, and low-power long-range communications (LoRaWAN and Sub-GHz). Manage multidisciplinary teams, ensure regulatory compliance and interoperability, optimize power consumption and network performance for industrial LPWAN deployments, and drive technical strategy for scalable, reliable connected devices.

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.

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 end-to-end hardware architecture for a phased-array satellite user terminal: define system block diagrams, select SoCs and high-speed components, resolve RF/electrical/mechanical interfaces, design power/thermal systems for beamforming, drive manufacturability with CMs, and establish validation and global compliance (FCC/CE/ETSI).

Leads global hardware engineering and architecture for servers, firewalls, security appliances, switches, and access points. Defines system architectures, coordinates board and system design, power, signal integrity, mechanical and thermal engineering, validation, and compliance. Oversees internal and JDM/ODM development, executive reporting, product strategy, budgets, hiring, and team development while partnering with Software, Product, Finance, Operations, and Supply Chain.

The Principal Hardware Engineer will lead the design of hardware systems for a satellite communications platform, focusing on power distribution, signal integrity, and PCB design, while ensuring high-reliability and fault tolerance in space environments.

Design and optimize high-speed, high-density ASIC package layouts and substrate breakouts. Perform pinout optimization, routing, placement, stack-up, power distribution, CAD library development, feasibility studies, and productivity methodology improvements while collaborating with package leads and cross-functional teams.

Design and perform physical layout for silicon interposers using Cadence Virtuoso; run DRC/LVS and verification (Calibre, ICV, Thunder); perform feasibility studies, floorplanning, custom layout, and collaborate with package, SI, and technology teams to meet schedule, cost, manufacturability, and electrical goals.

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.

Debug and resolve complex hardware/software issues for manufacturing test stations. Lead commissioning and release-to-manufacturing of opto-electrical test stations, improve test uptime, provide documentation and support to contract manufacturers and vendors, coordinate equipment RFQs/RMAs, and use AI tools for data analysis.

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