Hardware Engineer

ROBOTICS

The Role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the design and delivery of electromechanical systems for a consumer hardware product, working across mechanical, electrical and firmware disciplines. You will move designs from early prototype through to production-ready units, partnering with software colleagues and vendors along the way.

What You'll Do

Design complete hardware systems, including mechanical CAD, circuit board layouts, cable harnesses and battery management, owning projects from concept to assembly.

Write and debug firmware for microcontrollers and programmable logic when bringing up new boards.

Build quick prototypes and refine them into polished, production-ready products.

Work closely with software and AI colleagues so hardware and software decisions support each other.

Review teammates' designs, coordinate with outside vendors and contribute to manufacturing processes that can grow with demand.

What We're Looking For

1 to 5 years of experience in hardware engineering.

A track record of building physical products or projects from scratch, such as an electric bike or a 3D printer.

Strong ownership, including leading a complex cross-functional project to completion.

Experience working across the full hardware stack.

Ability to design PCBs and mechanical CAD models.

Proficiency in Python and C or C++, plus firmware and low-level programming experience.

A degree in electrical, mechanical or aerospace engineering, computer science or mathematics.

Experience at an early-stage robotics company, research lab or top engineering organization.

Strong opinions, originality and pride in craft.

Willingness to work some Sundays from home.
