Senior Electrical Engineer

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team full-time, in person, in our New York City office. You will own the full lifecycle of IoT product electronics, from system architecture and PCBA design through verification, certification, and high-volume manufacturing. You will work closely with mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to bring connected products from concept to mass production, and you'll be a key voice in resolving field issues and continuously improving product quality. This role reports to our Head of Hardware Engineering.

Responsibilities

• Own system architecture and circuit design for IoT products, including both battery-operated wireless devices and AC mains-powered devices.
• Design and develop PCBAs incorporating MCUs, digital circuitry, and sub-1GHz RF circuits, along with standard communication interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, DCMI, and others.
• Select and integrate sensors, including temperature, humidity, pressure, strain, image, ambient light, and time-of-flight sensors, into product designs, from datasheet evaluation through circuit implementation and calibration.
• Drive design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for test (DFT) practices to ensure products are optimized for a high-volume electronics manufacturing line.
• Lead verification and validation (V&V) testing across electrical, functional, environmental, and reliability domains.
• Manage regulatory compliance testing and certification efforts (e.g., FCC, CE, UL, IC, and related wireless/EMC standards).
• Perform rapid prototyping and hands-on bring-up/debug, including soldering, and the use of multimeters, oscilloscopes, and other lab equipment.
• Partner with mechanical engineering on the electromechanical integration of PCBAs into mechanical housings and enclosures.
• Collaborate closely with firmware engineering on hardware/firmware interface definition, board bring-up, and debug.
• Support new product introduction (NPI) and work directly with contract manufacturers and test operators to bring designs to volume production.
• Own the RMA process for products returned from the field, leading root cause analysis to isolate design, component, and manufacturing-related failures.
• Translate root cause findings into corrective actions, driving design changes and manufacturing process updates to resolve field defects and prevent recurrence.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

8-12+ years of professional experience in electrical/hardware engineering, with significant depth in high-volume IoT product design; consumer, industrial, medical or similar electronics product categories.

Qualifications

• Proven experience designing wireless, battery-operated IoT devices including battery selection and power consumption optimization.
• Proven experience designing AC mains-powered electronic devices.
• Strong understanding of digital and sub-1GHz RF circuit design in conjunction with MCUs.
• Hands-on experience with common embedded communication interfaces: UART, SPI, I2C, DCMI, and others.
• Experience selecting and integrating sensors (e.g., temperature, humidity, pressure, strain, image, ambient light, time-of-flight) into electronic product designs.
• Experience with electromechanical integration of PCBAs into mechanical housings.
• Experience with design for test (DFT) in a high-volume electronics manufacturing environment.
• Strong rapid-prototyping skills, including soldering and hands-on use of multimeters and oscilloscopes.
• Experience leading or supporting regulatory compliance testing and certification programs.
• Experience developing and executing verification and validation (V&V) test plans.
• Experience owning RMA and field-return processes, including root cause analysis and driving corrective design or manufacturing changes.
• Experience with product life cycle management and revision control of electromechanical products.

Skills

• Experience with LoRaWAN-based products or networks.
• Familiarity with the STM32 MCU family.
• Working knowledge of firmware development, with the ability to collaborate closely with firmware engineers on hardware/firmware co-design.
