Dendrothereua homa
Considering the limited number of Scutigeridae in the US, plus the fact that Scutigera homa is orange and found in AZ; and yours is orange and in AZ, I would say this is S. homa. It is definitely not the widespread S. coleoptrata. However, S. homa is now known as Dendrothereua homa and is apparently no longer considered a part of the Scutigera genus.
