About this role

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer with 3+ years of experience to help develop, integrate, and scale the electrical systems behind our large-scale robotic platforms. You’ll join a 15-person engineering team at a Series A climate tech startup as we transition from R&D into full-scale manufacturing and expand from our first deployed systems into repeatable production. This is a highly hands-on role for an engineer who is comfortable working across electrical design and physical implementation, troubleshooting systems on the shop floor, collaborating closely with technicians, and building the documentation and standards needed to support manufacturing at scale.

What will you be doing?

  • Troubleshooting, integrating, and scaling electrical systems across deployed and in-development robotic platforms, including motors, drives, actuators, sensors, controls, and machine wiring
  • Developing and maintaining electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, harness designs, and other technical documentation to establish consistent standards across future builds
  • Working hands-on with large robotic systems in the shop, supporting wiring, installation, system integration, testing, and issue resolution alongside technicians and other engineers
  • Redesigning and improving electrical subsystems as requirements evolve, incorporating lessons from existing systems into more reliable and manufacturable designs
  • Supporting the transition from one-off R&D builds to repeatable production as the company prepares Systems 3 through 7 and expands into a dedicated manufacturing facility
  • Partnering closely with mechanical, software, manufacturing, and hardware engineers to ensure electrical systems integrate effectively across the full robotic platform
