Electrical Engineer: From Concept to Production

Root Access; New York (NY); On-site; USD 95,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Root Access in NYC is seeking an Electrical Engineer to own hardware design from concept to production. You will transform product requirements into schematics, circuits, and manufacturable boards, guiding verification and test with a fast-moving, innovative team.

Join a startup led by a CTO with multiple patents; this role emphasizes hands-on prototyping, DFM, and cross-functional collaboration with software, firmware, and mechanical engineers.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in EE or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on circuit and PCB design experience.
• Proficiency with schematic/PCB design tools (Altium, Cadence, KiCad, etc).
• Solid grounding in analog and digital fundamentals, power electronics, and high-speed design concepts.
• Comfortable debugging hardware at the bench with standard lab instrumentation.

Responsibilities

• Drive schematic capture and lead PCB layout including component selection, footprints, and BOM management.
• Develop and perform circuit simulation and analysis (SPICE), covering power, signal integrity, timing, and thermal considerations.
• Design power supplies, sensor interfaces, communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, USB, Ethernet, etc), and microcontroller/processor subsystems.
• Bring up and debug prototypes in the lab using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other bench equipment.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, verification, and test engineers throughout the development cycle.
• Prepare design documentation, review packages, and support Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and cost reduction efforts.
• Support compliance activities (EMC/EMI, safety, regulatory) as designs mature.
