Top Remote Senior Level Hardware Engineer Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Lead failure analysis and root-cause corrective actions for networking hardware issues from field and factory sources. Analyze quality metrics, debug complex board- and system-level hardware, review new-product test reports, and drive quality improvements, change management, and multisourcing activities. Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, operations, customer support, vendors, and customers. Provide technical leadership, document lessons learned, and mentor junior engineers.

Develop FPGA prototypes and hardware platforms for ASIC integration, firmware development, and system validation. Support first-silicon bring-up, debugging, interface validation, and automated regression infrastructure. Configure and validate Ethernet SerDes, SPI, UART, GPIO, and other interfaces while debugging across RTL, firmware, software, FPGA prototypes, and silicon. Collaborate with ASIC design, verification, firmware, software, systems, and DFT teams throughout the silicon lifecycle.

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 evaluate rigorous hardware engineering problems for AI training projects. Develop reference solutions using calculations, simulations, Python scripts, and experimental reasoning. Model and validate hardware systems against physical test data, create verification methodologies, investigate failures, and document reproducible technical solutions. The role requires substantial hardware engineering ownership, strong programming ability, quantitative reasoning, and mandatory hands-on experience with AI Coding Agents.

Develops high-speed analog ICs exceeding 100 Gbaud for next-generation optical networking products. Responsibilities span product definition, circuit design, layout, verification, silicon bring-up, DVT, qualification, characterization, testing, and production ramp-up. The engineer collaborates with verification, CAD, product, test, operations, and reliability teams while supporting system-level customers. Required expertise includes SiGe BiCMOS or CMOS design, high-frequency passive structures, device physics, RF wafer probing, laboratory equipment, and high-speed analog IC evaluation.

Integrates first-party and third-party IPs into subsystems and SoCs using Verilog and SystemVerilog. Performs synthesis, timing constraint development, floor-planning analysis, performance optimization, register integration, CDC, lint, RDC, quality checks, and physical-design handoff. Works independently on complex integration problems, improves processes, supports junior staff, and communicates progress and status to customers regularly.

Perform transistor-level layout for RF, mixed-signal, and analog RFID IC blocks. Collaborate with analog and digital designers on floorplanning, pin placement, power distribution, routing, matching, electromigration, and signal coupling. Conduct layout reviews, resolve DRC/LVS/ERC issues, support advanced semiconductor process nodes, and coordinate layout schedules and floorplan activities.

Lead HBM and LPDDR system integration and bringup for next-generation SoCs. Own memory performance, power, thermal, and reliability closure across silicon, package, board, and firmware. Drive post-silicon margining, VF shmoo, eye characterization, and correlation. Debug training, calibration, SI/PI, and system stability issues. Define validation, characterization, and issue-tracking plans to produce production-ready operating points.

The PCB Layout Engineer will design complex printed circuit board layouts for drones, ensuring high performance, manufacturability, and reliability while collaborating with other engineering teams.

Designs complex RF printed circuit board layouts and schematics using Altium Designer. Creates component libraries, footprints, and 3D models; evaluates design feasibility, manufacturability, testing, cost, packaging, impedance control, and signal integrity. Coordinates with engineering, manufacturing, quality, test teams, and fabrication vendors throughout design release and production. Applies IPC standards, resolves fabrication issues, establishes design standards, and contributes to PCB design trade-offs and specifications.
