Electrical Engineer role supporting an early-stage robotics company building autonomous systems for industrial use. The position involves owning the electrical layer between mechanical hardware and software, with responsibility for PCB design through deployment across a range of project scales.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and bring up PCBAs from small adapter boards to complex multi-layer motherboards integrating compute modules
- Own power systems, battery management, motor drive integration, and robot wiring architectures from schematic through deployment
- Complete high-mix, fast-turnaround electrical tasks to support ML data collection and teleoperation systems
- Debug electrical issues including signal integrity, EMC/EMI, thermal, and connector problems on the bench and in the field
- Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, and ML teams to convert new sensing and actuation requirements into functional electronics
0-8+ years of electrical engineering experience designing PCBAs, power systems, and robot electronics
Experience taking electronics from schematic through prototype to manufactured, deployed product
Proficiency with complex multi-layer board layouts (10+ layer) and bring-up at scale
PCB design experience with schematic capture and layout in Altium, KiCad, or similar tools
Experience with power electronics, motor drive integration, and signal integrity
Familiarity with industrial communication buses including EtherCAT, CAN, and RS-485, plus EMC/EMI debug experience
Demonstrated maker mindset with personal electronics projects and portfolio examples
Preferred:
Senior-level experience at established hardware companies
High-ownership experience in early-stage hardware startup environments
Strong electrical engineering degree for senior candidates
