Senior Electrical Engineer

About Dexmate

Dexmate is building the foundation for physical AI - combining a new generation of robots with a universal Physical AI OS that makes robots as easy to build and deploy as software. Today, robotics is fragmented, slow, and closed: most builders are forced to reinvent the same stack again and again, and most ideas never make it past the prototype stage.

Dexmate's mission is to democratize robotics by lowering the barrier to entry, delivering a plug-and-play platform for developers, researchers, and enterprises, and cultivating an open ecosystem that accelerates the evolution of physical AI.

The Opportunity

Dexmate is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and validate the core electrical subsystems of their general-purpose robot platforms. You will own power electronics, motor drive circuits, sensor integration, and PCB design - from schematic through bring-up to production-ready hardware.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You will make architecture decisions, drive subsystems end-to-end, and be accountable for hardware that ships on every unit.

What You'll Do

• 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 control topologies
• Design sensor integration circuits for IMUs, encoders, hall-effect sensors, force/torque sensors, and thermal sensors
• Create schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts using industry-standard EDA tools (Altium, Cadence Allegro, or KiCad), owning the full cycle from concept through layout review, prototype bring-up, and production release
• Perform circuit simulation (LTspice or equivalent) and systematic hardware validation using oscilloscopes, current probes, power analyzers, and spectrum analyzers
• Apply EMI/EMC design principles from the start; support FCC, CE, and UL certification as the product moves toward commercial deployment
• Drive DFM/DFA decisions to ensure designs are manufacturable and testable at production scale
• Conduct board-level bring-up, power-on sequencing, and subsystem verification
• Collaborate with firmware engineers on hardware/software interfaces and with mechanical engineers on physical integration and thermal constraints
• Document designs with the rigor required for CM handoff and engineering review

You Should Have

• 5+ years of electrical engineering experience in robotics, industrial automation, automotive, or consumer electronics, with at least one product shipped to production
• Hands-on PCB design experience in industry-standard EDA tools for complex multi-layer boards with high-speed digital, power, and mixed-signal on the same design
• Proven experience designing power electronics including BMS, power distribution, protection circuits, or DC-DC conversion
• Motor drive design experience with BLDC, PMSM, or servo drive circuits, ideally with FOC topology
• Strong bench skills across oscilloscope, current probe, power analyzer, logic and spectrum analyzer, and signal integrity debug
• Experience with DFM/DFA and working directly with contract manufacturers
• Experience designing complex multilayer PCBs (8+ layers) including controlled impedance routing, mixed-signal design, and high-speed differential pairs

Nice to Have

• Experience taking a product through FCC, CE, or UL certification including EMC pre-compliance testing
• Functional safety design experience including ISO 26262, IEC 61508, or equivalent
• Familiarity with embedded firmware at the hardware/firmware boundary - enough to co-debug with firmware engineers without needing translation
• Experience with high-density or thermally-constrained PCB layouts
• Background in production test fixture design and manufacturing ramp
• Proficiency in Python or similar scripting for test automation
• Experience with AI-assisted EDA or coding tools in your design workflow

Compensation

Base Salary: $100,000 - $300,000, depending on experience, plus equity.
