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.

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 end-to-end hardware development for next-generation communication modules, including schematics, PCB layouts, component libraries, prototypes, test fixtures, validation, compliance testing, and in-lab or field debugging. Collaborate with firmware, systems, and mechanical engineers, maintain design documentation and databases, lead design reviews, support field-failure investigations, mentor junior engineers, and improve design processes and tooling.

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.

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.
