Build the Electrical Systems Behind the Next Generation of Robotics
We’re partnering with a high-growth robotics AI company building technology designed to fundamentally change how robots operate across real-world environments.
This is an opportunity for a hands-on Senior Electrical Engineer to take ownership of electrical system integration across advanced robotic platforms, working across power electronics, motor drivers, sensors, PCB-level systems, EMC/EMI, grounding, shielding, and signal integrity.
You’ll work at the intersection of electrical hardware, firmware, controls, mechanical engineering, and robotics, helping take complex electrical systems from concept through validation and production.
What You'll Do
Develop, test and validate power and sensor electronics systems
Design and validate motor driver circuits and power electronics
Integrate sensors including IMUs, encoders, Hall sensors and temperature sensors at the PCB level
Define grounding, bonding, shielding, filtering and cable strategies
Identify EMC risks early and develop practical mitigation strategies
Debug EMC and hardware issues using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, probes, LISNs, network analyzers and other lab equipment
Make system-level tradeoffs across performance, reliability, cost, schedule and manufacturability
Partner with electrical, mechanical, firmware, controls, systems and manufacturing teams
Work with external laboratories and consultants when required
Establish documentation and contribute to hardware engineering best practices
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics or a related discipline
Hands-on experience taking electrical hardware from concept through validation and production
Strong experience with EMC/EMI design, debugging and testing
Strong knowledge of grounding, shielding, filtering, signal integrity and power integrity
Experience with power electronics, motor drives, switching power, high-current DC systems and/or battery management
Experience with PCB design and layout
Experience integrating sensors such as IMUs, encoders and Hall sensors
Comfortable debugging hardware directly in the lab
Strong system-level engineering judgment
Ability to make practical tradeoffs when requirements are changing or incomplete
Strong cross-functional communication and collaboration skills
If you enjoy working on difficult hardware problems where the answer isn't always obvious and want your work to directly influence the performance of next-generation robots, this could be an exceptional opportunity.
