Top Remote Hardware Engineer Jobs in Tucson, AZ

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.

Design and deliver secure compute hardware for post-quantum cryptography and orbital/terrestrial systems. Own power, thermal, enclosure, and bus architecture design; collaborate with software, security, and systems teams; support FPGA integration, manufacturability, reliability, and environment-specific constraints (radiation, vibration, thermal-vacuum). Deliver iterative hardware releases on aggressive timelines.

Designs and executes hardware test strategies for wireless power products. Develops test specs, fixtures, and software; performs component-level troubleshooting; validates product and fixture qualification; documents results and reports issues to stakeholders.

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.

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.

Design, test, and validate next-generation server hardware and components for performance, power, and reliability. Diagnose and resolve hardware issues across engineering and manufacturing, document results, and develop/maintain test scripts. Collaborate with internal teams and OEM/ODM partners to scale platforms for global deployment.

The role involves optimizing hardware support within a software stack for AI model deployment, collaborating with teams and hardware vendors to enhance performance and portability across platforms.

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.

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

As a System Engineer, you'll design, deploy, and maintain cloud systems for AI workloads, troubleshoot complex issues, and collaborate with teams to optimize performance.
