Senior Electrical Engineer

Teleo Robotics EngineerTeleo, a Havoc company, is a robotics company that transforms construction heavy equipment, including loaders, dozers, excavators, and trucks, into autonomous robots for commercial and defense applications. Our technology enables a single operator to supervise and control multiple machines simultaneously, delivering significant productivity gains while improving operator safety and comfort.Teleo was founded by a team of experienced technology leaders who previously led the development of Lyft's Self-Driving Car program and Google Street View. Teleo recently announced its merger with Havoc AI, a fast-growing defense technology company developing coordinated fleets of autonomous maritime vessels.This is a unique opportunity to join a team building technology with real-world impact. You will work on cutting-edge 100,000-pound autonomous robots and engineer complex systems at the intersection of hardware, software, robotics, and AI.MissionOwn Teleo's board-level electrical hardware from schematic to production. Take ownership of existing PCB designs, bring them up to a professional standard, and establish the processes and rigor needed to design, validate, and manufacture reliable boards at the pace of a fast-growing startup.Core ResponsibilitiesOwn the full lifecycle of PCB design: schematic capture, layout, simulation, prototyping, validation, and production releaseTake ownership of existing board designs — clean up schematics, BOMs, and documentation to a maintainable, professional standardDesign power stages, sensor interfaces, high-precision analog I/O, digital I/O, and galvanic isolation circuitsEstablish and own validation and test practices: bench testing, ESD, load testing, resonance tuning, and whatever else the design demandsManage DFM reviews and own the relationship with contract manufacturers and fab housesOwn compliance and EMC testingCollaborate with the embedded firmware team on board bring-up and hardware-software integrationProvide high-level systems guidance on cable harnesses and electrical architecture to junior engineersRequired QualificationsB.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.5+ years of professional electrical engineering experience with a focus on PCB design through productionStrong analog and digital circuit design fundamentalsExperience designing low-voltage power circuits with high-current stagesProficient in KiCad (schematic capture, layout, BOM management)Hands-on validation and debugging: oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, load testingExperience managing contract manufacturers and fab houses through DFM and productionDemonstrated ability to own board designs end to end with minimal oversightComfortable working on-site in Palo Alto, CAStrong Experience WithMixed-signal design: high-precision analog, sensor interfaces, galvanic isolationDFM practices: panelization, tolerancing, component selection for manufacturabilityCompliance and EMC testing processesRapid iteration: comfortable spinning boards quickly without sacrificing qualityMaintaining clean, well-documented schematics and BOMs across multiple active designsNice to HaveExperience in automotive, heavy equipment, or ruggedized industrial environmentsFamiliarity with embedded firmware concepts — enough to be a strong partner during bring-upExperience establishing electrical engineering standards and validation processes on a small teamEarly-stage startup experience — comfortable with broad ownership and fast iteration$160,000 - $220,000 a yearTeleo is an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity at our company.
