Electrical Engineer

About the Company

Our client is a ground-floor healthcare robotics startup building a first-of-its-kind autonomous pharmacy dispensing system. Operating at the intersection of AI real-time hardware integration safety-critical software and regulated medical technology they are solving one of the most pressing issues in modern healthcare.

Across the country over 4000 pharmacies close each year expanding healthcare deserts and limiting patient access to essential medications. Our clients mission is to reverse this trend by deploying automated high-precision dispensing systems at scaleensuring medications reach patients safely accurately and efficiently.

They operate as a lean high-trust team with zero bureaucracy high autonomy and direct access to executive leadership (reporting directly to the CTO/Co-founder). If you thrive on solving hard engineering challenges in hardware and robotics with a direct life-changing human impact this team is built for you.

About The Role

As a Senior/Staff Electrical Engineer you will own the end-to-end design of complex electrical subsystems from requirements capture through schematic layout prototyping and production bring-up on our clients flagship autonomous robotic dispensing system. This role carries significant technical ownership and offers the opportunity to shape both the hardware architecture and the teams engineering standards in a regulated pharmaceutical environment.

What Youll Do

• Full Lifecycle Subsystem Design: Own electrical subsystems across power distribution motor drives sensor interfaces and mixed-signal circuits from initial requirements through schematic layout prototyping and production bring-up.
• Schematics & PCB Layout: Create and maintain schematics PCB layouts and bills of materials (BOMs) following established release processes while driving improvements to team-wide design documentation and test standards.
• Component Selection: Evaluate and qualify sensors actuators and power management components specifically for use in a regulated pharmaceutical environment.
• Testing & Validation: Define and execute testing specifications across subsystems to guarantee intended functionality and safe operating conditions. Document findings root causes and lessons learned to drive continuous improvement.
• Hardware Troubleshooting: Investigate and resolve challenging hardware issues across prototyping and production phases including signal integrity thermal management and EMC/EMI compliance.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with firmware and mechanical engineers to co-develop interface definitions connector pinouts harness routing and integration test plans.
• Design for Excellence: Apply DFM (Design for Manufacturability) DFT (Design for Testability) and supply chain considerations to ensure all designs are production-ready from day one.

What You Bring

• Experience: 510 years of hands-on electrical engineering experience across multiple complete product development cycles with demonstrated technical leadership on multi-board or multi-subsystem products.
• Subsystem Ownership: A proven track record of taking complex electrical subsystems end-to-end from blank-page requirements through production bring-up.
• Domain Expertise: Deep hands-on experience designing and validating circuits for power electronics motor control sensor interfaces or mixed-signal design (with broad working familiarity across the others).
• Tools & Bench Skills: Proficiency in schematic capture PCB layout and BOM management using industry-standard tools (Altium KiCad or equivalent). Strong hands-on bench skills to bring up new boards and drive issues to root cause.
• Standards & Compliance: Experience driving design reviews and contributing to team-wide engineering standards. Familiarity with compliance testing and design practices related to EMC safety or environmental standards.
• Documentation Habits: Strong discipline in documenting design rationale characterization test results and post-mortem lessons learned.
