Electrical Engineer

Role: Staff Electrical Engineer Location: New York City | Full-time | On-site Compensation: $150k – $225k + Equity

This role is a senior-level opportunity to lead the electronics design and architecture of high-volume consumer hardware products. As the Staff Electrical Engineer, you will own end-to-end hardware development—from early prototypes to mass production—while collaborating across firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and overseas engineering teams. If you excel in low-power system design, RF architectures, PCB development, and scaling complex hardware through production, this position offers significant technical ownership and impact.

• Own Electronics Design – Lead hardware development across proof-of-concept, EVT/DVT builds, validation, and release to mass production.
• System Architecture & Optimization – Drive schematic design, PCB layout guidance, component selection, and overall hardware architecture.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration – Partner with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and international engineering teams to ensure seamless system integration.
• Low-Power Engineering – Develop and refine power management strategies for ultra-low-power applications.
• Manufacturing Support – Work with overseas contract manufacturers/JDM partners on design reviews, testing, validation, and production scaling.
• Hardware Bring-Up & Testing – Lead board bring-up, debug, test development, and safety/qualification processes.

• 8+ years of electrical engineering experience in high-volume consumer electronics.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• Deep expertise in:
  • Low-power system design
  • Lithium-ion battery-powered systems
  • RF systems (Wi-Fi, LTE, GNSS) and antenna design
  • Sensors and mixed-signal circuit design
  • Digital communication buses
• Proficiency with schematic capture & PCB layout software (Altium preferred).
• Advanced lab debugging skills — oscilloscopes, DMMs, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, etc.
• Ability to solder and rework components down to 0201 under a microscope.
• Experience leading hardware development from prototype → production.
• Familiarity with firmware concepts, with basic C or Python for testing/support.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across cross-functional and international teams.
• Willingness to travel to China as needed.
