Electrical Engineer

Why We Are Hiring for This Role: Own the end-to-end design of custom electronics for robotic systems, including schematics, layout, and BOM selection. Lead integration of diverse sensors—IMUs, encoders, force/torque, vision, environmental, and custom sensing solutions. Design and evaluate embedded and mixed-signal systems (MCUs, SoCs, FPGAs, power, comms, sensing). Work closely with mechanical, firmware, and software teams to bring up complete robotic subsystems. Develop and maintain low-level firmware to enable hardware bring-up, diagnostics, and early system functionality. Collaborate with silicon partners to evaluate and integrate next-generation components (motor drivers, sensors, compute modules, radios). Perform board bring-up, validation, and debugging using lab instrumentation and automated test setups. Drive improvements in design for manufacturability (DFM), testability (DFT), and reliability. Define hardware/firmware interfaces and support clean abstractions for higher-level software. Support the transition from prototype to production with contract manufacturers and test engineers. Stay current with emerging technologies in embedded electronics, sensing, power systems, and robotic platforms. What Kind of Person We Are Looking For: A proven track record designing embedded systems using MCUs, DSPs, or FPGAs in real-world, high-reliability products. Deep experience integrating a wide range of sensors (IMUs, encoders, force/torque, vision, environmental, custom). Strong system-level thinking: you understand how electronics, firmware, mechanics, and software interact in a robot. The ability to write firmware in C/C++ (or similar) to bring up boards, configure peripherals, and make hardware usable. Hands‑on debugging skills with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and JTAG/SWD tools. Proficiency with ECAD tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, or Cadence. Solid fundamentals in signal integrity, power distribution, grounding, and thermal design. Experience with motor control systems (BLDC, brushed, stepper) and power electronics is a strong plus. Comfort working with early-stage silicon, datasheets, and incomplete documentation. Experience with wireless systems (BLE, Wi‑Fi, etc.) and secure hardware design is a plus. Exposure to safety standards (IEC, ISO) and EMI/EMC compliance testing. A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field—or equivalent practical experience. Benefits We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits. Salary The annual compensation is expected to be between $150,000 - $300,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location. #J-18808-Ljbffr
