Nokia is a Finnish telecommunications equipment company founded in 1865 as a paper mill, which became the world's largest mobile phone maker in the 1990s before selling that business to Microsoft in 2014. It now supplies network infrastructure to operators and enterprises, covering radio access equipment for mobile networks, optical and IP routing for transport networks, fixed broadband access, and a technologies division that licenses its cellular patent portfolio. Headquartered in Espoo and listed in Helsinki and New York, it runs Nokia Bell Labs as its research arm and has been expanding into data centre networking as operator spending has slowed.

SpaceNexus is a space industry intelligence platform run by SpaceNexus LLC that tracks launches, satellites, space stocks, funding rounds, contract awards and news for investors, engineers and analysts. The service, launched in 2026, offers profiles of more than 370 space companies, newsletters, an API, embeddable widgets and a space jobs section that aggregates openings from firms such as Planet and Varda Space Industries. Its job feed therefore lists third-party roles in spacecraft engineering, manufacturing, software, legal and operations rather than positions at SpaceNexus itself.

The market right now

Alion currently lists 123 open Hardware Engineer jobs in Ottawa from 31 companies. 17 of them were posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 28 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. 8 of the 123 carry the marks of a stale or abandoned posting - open far beyond the usual time to fill, reposted, or on a board that mostly never closes a role - and are marked as likely inactive; the list can hide them. Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.

What these roles pay

46 of these Hardware Engineer jobs in Ottawa state pay directly. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $70K and $117K a year, with a median of $89K. By level, the median runs junior at $70K and senior at $103K. The step from junior to senior is worth about 1.5x on median pay. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
