“At Proception, we're building the most dexterous humanoid hands in the world: 20+ actuators tightly packed into a compact robotic forearm. As an Electrical Engineer, you'll lead the design of embedded systems that handle motor control, power delivery, sensor integration, and real-time communication within extreme spatial and thermal constraints. Your work will directly impact the intelligence, responsiveness, and robustness of our robotic platforms.”Role DetailsDesign and assemble embedded motor control and power boards capable of driving 20+ actuators in a compact robotic forearmDevelop on-board power management subsystems for safe, efficient, and scalable power distributionIntegrate multiple sensor modalities (tactile, force/torque, IMU, encoder) for closed-loop robotic controlDevelop firmware to manage motor drivers, sensor interfaces, and real-time communication protocols like CAN-FD and EtherCATOptimize PCB layout and mechanical integration to balance thermal performance, EMI/EMC compliance, and signal integrityCollaborate closely with mechanical and AI teams to align system design with sensing, motion, and thermal constraintsSupport board bring-up, system debugging, and diagnostics across the full embedded stackContribute to architecture decisions around centralized vs distributed control, sensor data aggregation, and failover designContinuously test and iterate with real robotic hardware to ensure reliability and robustness in field deploymentsRequirementsExperience designing and debugging high-density, mixed-signal PCBs (power + control + sensing)Deep knowledge of BLDC and servo motor control (FOC, current sensing, position feedback)Expertise in power electronics: switching regulators, gate drivers, current measurement, thermal managementProficiency with embedded communication protocols: CAN, CAN-FD, EtherCATExperience integrating sensor arrays (force, tactile, IMUs, encoders) into embedded systemsComfortable designing robust power distribution and management systems with protection and monitoring featuresStrong embedded C/C++ and firmware development experience for real-time and RTOS-based systemsFamiliarity with EMI/EMC mitigation, thermal-aware layout, and high-current PCB designSkilled at hardware bring-up and debugging using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power analyzersCompensation & BenefitsOpportunity to work on one of the most technically challenging and high-impact robotics platforms todayWork at the intersection of embedded systems, intelligent control, and human-like machinesBacked by YC and leading deep tech VCs, with a team of top-tier engineers and researchersComprehensive health and dental coverageCompetitive salary with equity#J-18808-Ljbffr
