About this role
About This Role
As an Electrical Engineer, you’ll design and build the electrical backbone of our robots. You'll be responsible for analog and digital circuits, robot bus and wiring design, embedded systems, power distribution, and sensor integration. You’ll work across schematic design, PCB layout, bring-up, embedded debug, and wiring harness development. This role is hands-on. You’ll be soldering boards, assembling cable harnesses, troubleshooting in the lab and field, and supporting the system through thermal, EMI, and vibration tests.
What you'll do
- Design analog and digital circuits including power regulation, signal conditioning, and sensor interfaces
- Own PCB development, including: schematic capture, layout, and bring-up
- Work closely with mechanical and software engineers to ensure reliable integration
- Troubleshoot and debug system-level electrical issues
- Define and maintain wiring diagrams, harnessing, grounding, and EMI/EMC strategies
- Support sensor selection and integration (thermal, gas, visual, RF, etc.)
- Run and interpret tests for thermal load, EMI, and ruggedness
- Design and fabricate cable harnesses and enclosures for field reliability
- Run SPICE simulations for analog validation, noise analysis, and circuit stability
- Contribute to design reviews and write documentation for design decisions
- Help build the internal standards and test infrastructure for future iterations
- Communicate directly with users as necessary to determine engineering direction for specific features
