About The Position

The Hardware Expert will use technical expertise to create, solve, and evaluate engineering challenges requiring sound judgment, quantitative reasoning, and reproducible answers. The role focuses on engineers who have personally owned meaningful technical work, such as taking a hardware system into production, validating a model against test data, developing a rigorous verification approach, or diagnosing a difficult failure. The work calls for connecting first-principles reasoning with practical constraints and producing independently verifiable results.

Responsibilities include creating technically rigorous, self-contained hardware engineering problems based on realistic industry or research scenarios and developing clear reference solutions using engineering calculations, simulations, scripts, experimental reasoning, or other appropriate methods. Engineering tools such as Python, MATLAB, Simulink, SPICE, Julia, C/C++, test automation platforms, or equivalent software may be used to validate results when relevant.

This is a global, fully remote contract role of approximately 15 hours per week. The schedule is flexible, and experts may choose their work hours and days, including weekends. Compensation is output-based, with payment per task that meets project specifications; task time may vary, and minimum submission requirements apply. Selected candidates are expected to begin their first task within 24–48 hours of completing onboarding.

Requirements

• Experience with RTL and hardware.
• Significant professional or research experience in hardware engineering, product development, systems integration, testing, validation, reliability, or failure analysis.
• Demonstrated ownership of a substantial engineering problem, such as a product or subsystem reaching production, a model validated against physical testing, a developed test system, or a difficult diagnosed failure.
• Experience working with Coding Agents is a must.

Nice To Haves

• A Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Applied Physics, or a closely related field.
• Experience using Python, MATLAB, Simulink, SPICE, Julia, C/C++, test automation platforms, or equivalent engineering software, as relevant to validating results.

Responsibilities

• Create technically rigorous, self-contained hardware engineering problems based on realistic industry or research scenarios.
• Develop clear reference solutions using engineering calculations, simulations, scripts, experimental reasoning, or other appropriate methods.
• Use engineering software or tools to validate results when relevant.
• Complete an initial task within 24–48 hours of completing onboarding if selected.
