Senior Electrical Engineer, Robotics

About Dexmate

Dexmate is building the foundation for physical AI by combining a new generation of robots with a universal Physical AI OS, making robots easier to build and deploy. The company is focused on lowering the barrier to entry in robotics through a plug-and-play platform for developers, researchers, and enterprises.

The Role

Dexmate is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and validate the core electrical subsystems of its general-purpose robot platforms. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role responsible for power electronics, motor drive circuits, sensor integration, and PCB design from schematic through bring-up and production release.

Responsibilities

- Own end-to-end design of power electronics subsystems including battery management, power distribution, protection circuits, and DC-DC conversion.
- Design and validate motor drive circuits for high-performance actuation, including FOC, BLDC, PMSM, and servo drive topologies.
- Design sensor integration circuits for IMUs, encoders, Hall-effect sensors, force/torque sensors, and thermal sensors.
- Create schematics and complex multi-layer PCB layouts using industry-standard EDA tools.
- Own the design cycle from concept through layout review, prototype bring-up, and production release.
- Perform circuit simulation using LTspice or equivalent tools.
- Conduct systematic hardware validation using oscilloscopes, current probes, power analyzers, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers.
- Apply EMI/EMC design principles from the beginning of development.
- Support FCC, CE, and UL certification activities for commercial deployment.
- Drive DFM/DFA decisions to ensure designs can be manufactured and tested at production scale.
- Instrument boards and conduct board-level bring-up, power-on sequencing, and subsystem verification.
- Collaborate with firmware engineers on hardware/software interfaces and mechanical engineers on physical integration and thermal constraints.
- Document electrical designs for contract manufacturer handoff and engineering review.
