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.

Design and optimize custom SRAM circuits for NVIDIA processing chips, balancing performance, area, and power. Collaborate with mask designers on dense layout, verify functionality and electrical robustness, and improve design automation and analysis flows. The role requires strong SRAM and memory design expertise, scripting skills, and experience with circuit design methodologies and industry tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and SPICE simulators.

Develop and execute verification strategies for complex hardware IP, subsystems, and full-chip designs supporting Azure cloud servers. Responsibilities include writing test cases, simulators, and device specifications; evaluating verification tools; reviewing silicon architecture; managing schedules and risks; coordinating with internal and external teams; and contributing to training and technical leadership.

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.

Design and implement FPGA code for satellite digital payloads, including DSP algorithms, software-defined radio signal processing, embedded systems, and processor or peripheral interfaces. Responsibilities include developing custom IP, improving DSP and interface reliability, integrating vendor IP cores, supporting communications architecture, and participating in spacecraft design studies. The engineer will work across simulation, synthesis, place and route, timing closure, and hardware testing.

Operate and program video switchers, routers, PTZ cameras, graphics, playback, and related broadcast systems for live events. Collaborate with production leaders and camera operators, conduct rehearsals and comprehensive equipment checks, execute show cues, and adapt quickly to changing show flows. The role requires at least five years of Technical Director or V1 experience, strong broadcast technology knowledge, leadership, communication, and composure under pressure.

Design and optimize passive and active silicon photonic components from simulation through layout, foundry tapeout, and characterization. Perform electromagnetic and multiphysics simulations, analyze wafer-level measurement data, develop manufacturable designs, and collaborate with layout engineers, system-level PIC designers, and foundry partners. The role focuses on improving optical performance, fabrication tolerance, bandwidth, crosstalk, insertion loss, and power consumption for LiDAR and optical switching applications.

Develop and lead RF, SerDes, and mm-wave integrated circuits from architecture and simulation through silicon validation. Responsibilities include RF and analog IP design, layout guidance, characterization strategy, PCB development, RF and system-level measurements, competitive benchmarking, technology collaboration, productization, and university research liaison activities.

Supports and maintains mainframe hardware, including microcode, processor, storage, DASD, and tape configurations. Handles migrations, replication, disaster recovery, incident resolution, vendor escalations, and 24/7 on-call service restoration. Develops automation, tools, documentation, and standardized processes while supporting multiple clients in a leveraged environment. Performs ITIL change management, provides technical consulting, analyzes subsystem performance, and mentors team members.

Lead calibration architecture, optical integration, sustaining, troubleshooting, and manufacturing enablement for high-speed coherent optical linecards. Analyze calibration and test data, resolve production and field issues, develop lab-to-factory bring-up workflows, and collaborate with DSP, hardware, firmware, test, and manufacturing teams. Mentor optical engineers, communicate technical risks and trade-offs, and apply coherent optics expertise to current and next-generation platforms.
