Your Impact
We are seeking a founding Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in radio hardware and chip-down design to own the architecture, integration, development, and validation of sophisticated multi-radio systems for mission-critical connected hardware.
As a founding member of our hardware team, you will help define how multiple wireless technologies coexist within highly integrated, battery-powered devices. You will own critical radio hardware decisions from chipset and component selection through schematic design, PCB implementation, bring-up, RF validation, certification, and mass production.
You will solve complex challenges across Land Mobile Radio (LMR), LTE/cellular, broadband wireless, RF coexistence, interference, isolation, EMI/EMC, power, and antenna integration, working closely with RF, Systems, Mechanical, Firmware, and Manufacturing teams.
What You'll Do
- Radio & Chip-Down Design: Own board-level implementation and integration of radio chipsets and associated circuitry across LMR, LTE/cellular, and broadband wireless technologies.
- Radio Architecture: Translate system and product requirements into radio hardware architectures, evaluating chipsets, transceivers, front-end components, interfaces, power requirements, and system-level tradeoffs.
- Schematic & PCB Implementation: Develop and review schematics and PCB implementations for RF transceivers, modems, front-end components, power circuitry, control interfaces, and supporting digital electronics.
- RF Integration & Coexistence: Design and validate multi-radio systems, addressing coexistence, desense, interference, isolation, harmonics, spurious emissions, grounding, shielding, and EMI/EMC.
- LMR & Cellular Integration: Solve hardware challenges associated with integrating regulated LMR frequencies alongside cellular and other wireless technologies within compact devices.
- Antenna & Mechanical Integration: Partner with RF, Antenna, Mechanical, and Industrial Design teams on antenna placement, RF routing, shielding, grounding, board layout, and enclosure-related RF performance.
- Bring-Up & Debugging: Lead radio hardware bring-up, characterization, and root-cause analysis using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, network analyzers, signal generators, power meters, and related RF test equipment.
- Certification & Production: Drive radio hardware through verification, regulatory and carrier certification, EVT/DVT/PVT, manufacturing ramp, and mass production.
- Technical Leadership: Provide technical direction on radio hardware architecture and design while working with chipset vendors, external design partners, ODMs/JDMs, and internal engineering teams.
What You Bring
- 7+ years of electrical, radio hardware, or RF electronics design experience and a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Demonstrated experience with chip-down radio design or board-level integration of wireless transceivers/modems, rather than solely integrating pre-certified modules.
- Strong experience with one or more relevant radio technologies, including LMR, LTE/cellular, broadband wireless, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, or similar wireless systems.
- Experience designing and debugging RF-related circuitry, including transceivers, RF front ends, filtering, matching, switching, amplification, clocks, power delivery, and digital control interfaces.
- Strong understanding of RF coexistence, interference, desense, isolation, harmonics, spurious emissions, grounding, shielding, and EMI/EMC in multi-radio products.
- Experience integrating multiple radios into compact, highly integrated, battery-powered hardware.
- Hands-on experience with schematic and PCB design using Cadence OrCAD and Allegro or comparable professional design tools.
- Strong hardware bring-up and debugging experience using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, network analyzers, signal generators, power supplies, and related RF/electrical test equipment.
- Experience partnering with antenna, mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers to optimize end-to-end radio performance.
- Proven experience taking radio hardware from concept and architecture through validation, certification, manufacturing ramp, and mass production.
- Experience with applicable U.S. and international wireless, EMC, regulatory, carrier, or safety certification requirements.
- Experience working directly with silicon/chipset vendors, ODMs, JDMs, CMs, and external engineering partners.
- Flexibility to travel domestically up to 50% of the time, as needed, to support the team.

Electrical Design Engineer Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical design engineer in New York?
The standard path in New York begins with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, followed by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and accumulating qualifying experience before sitting for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Licensure as a Professional Engineer is issued by the New York State Education Department through the State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying. A PE license is required to stamp and seal design documents in New York, making it essential for career advancement.
How much do electrical design engineers make in New York?
Electrical design engineers in New York earn a median of about $119,010 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $74,870 for the lowest 10% to over $168,820 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electrical design engineers in New York?
Employers hiring electrical design engineers in New York right now include National Grid, Moog, and Axon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. New York's combination of large utility infrastructure, active transit expansion projects, and dense commercial construction keeps demand from a wide range of employers, from major engineering consultancies to public authorities and defense contractors.
Which New York cities have the most electrical design engineer jobs?
The cities with the most electrical design engineer openings in New York are Buffalo, Syracuse, and New York. New York City anchors the market due to its scale of commercial construction, utility infrastructure, and transit projects, while Long Island draws demand from defense contractors and utility operations, and the Albany area sees hiring tied to state government projects and growing semiconductor and clean-energy initiatives.
Are there remote electrical design engineer jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based roles, since much of the work involves site visits, coordination with contractors, and review of physical installations. About 33% of electrical design engineer openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with most flexibility concentrated in the design documentation and drafting phases rather than commissioning or field inspection work.
How can I get hired as a electrical design engineer in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a co-op or internship during your engineering degree, with large New York employers such as Con Edison, AECOM, and the New York Power Authority running structured programs for students and new graduates. Entry-level titles like junior electrical engineer or design engineer associate are the typical first roles. Building a portfolio of academic or personal design projects and passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam early signals seriousness to New York hiring managers before full PE licensure is attainable.
Where can I find and apply to electrical design engineer jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to electrical design engineer jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your experience and target area, and apply directly to each position that fits.
