Job Description

About the Role:

We are seeking a hands-on Electrical Engineer to lead the design and integration of electrical systems for high-degree-of-freedom robotic platforms. This role involves architecting the robots power distribution sensor wiring and embedded electrical infrastructure.

You will be responsible for designing the battery system power boards wiring harnesses sensor interfaces and overall electrical routing strategy in close collaboration with mechanical and software engineers. Youll play a key role in ensuring high-performance reliable operation of complex electromechanical systems under real-world conditions.

Basic Qualifications:

* Bachelors or Masters in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
* 3 years experience designing and integrating electrical systems in robotics or complex electromechanical platforms.
* Strong background in power electronics battery systems and embedded electrical integration.
* Experience with wire harness design including connector selection cable specing and EMI mitigation strategies.
* Proficient in PCB design (schematic capture and layout) using Altium or similar tools.
* Familiarity with embedded systems and sensor integration.
* Hands-on experience with lab tools for electrical debug and validation (oscilloscope power supply spectrum analyzer etc.).

Preferred Qualifications:

* Experience with high-DOF robotic systems.
* Familiarity with high-speed data protocols (e.g. MIPI PCIe Gigabit Ethernet).
* Exposure to embedded programming (e.g. C Python HDL) and firmware bring-up.
* Understanding of thermal design and safety considerations in high-power robotic systems.
* Experience working in environments with DFM/DFA constraints and production scaling.
* Working knowledge of Linux command line and device configuration tools.
* Familiarity with mechanical CAD (e.g. SolidWorks) for collaborative integration work.




Key job responsibilities
* Design and develop the full electrical system for advanced robotic platformsincluding power distribution sensing compute and communication infrastructure.
* Specify and design custom power electronics and power distribution boards to meet performance thermal and safety requirements.
* Architect and integrate the robots battery system including protection circuitry battery management charging systems and thermal considerations.
* Design and route all cabling and wire harnesses across the robotic platform considering EMI signal integrity serviceability and integration with mechanical structures.
* Define and implement wiring and electrical interfaces for sensors (e.g. lidar stereo cameras IMUs tactile) and compute modules.
* Determine appropriate electrical and communication protocols (e.g. CAN SPI I2C Ethernet USB MIPI) for reliable and efficient system operation.
* Work closely with mechanical engineers to co-design system layouts and routing paths for electrical components and harnesses.
* Design schematics and PCBs for custom electronics using Altium or equivalent tools. Oversee layout bring-up and validation.
* Debug electrical issues across complex systems using lab tools (oscilloscopes DMMs power analyzers) and develop long-term fixes.
* Support lab-based builds and tests; create and refine test setups for system validation and sensor/power verification.
