Hardware Engineering Expert (MSc/PhD)

Quick Facts

• Role: Hardware Engineering Expert (MSc/PhD)

• Work mode: Fully remote (global)

• Contract: ~15 hours per week (flexible schedule; weekends possible)

• Compensation: Output-based—paid per task that meets project specifications

Description

As a Hardware Engineering Expert, you will create, solve, and evaluate engineering challenges that require sound judgment, quantitative reasoning, and reproducible answers. The work focuses on designing tasks grounded in realistic hardware and validation scenarios, with reference solutions that can be independently verified.

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.

• Validate results when relevant using tools such as Python, MATLAB, Simulink, SPICE, Julia, C/C++, test automation platforms, or equivalent engineering software.

Requirements

• MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Applied Physics, or a closely related field.

• 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 (e.g., a product/subsystem reaching production, a model validated against physical testing, a test system you developed, or a difficult failure you diagnosed).

• Experience working with Coding Agents (required).

Benefits

• Flexible hours and fully remote work.

• Output-based compensation—paid per task that meets the project specifications.
