Electrical Engineer

Paradigm Robotics is seeking an Electrical Engineer to design and build the electrical backbone of our robots. You’ll collaborate with mechanical and software teams to deliver reliable, field-ready systems that perform under demanding lab and real-world conditions. This hands-on role covers analog/digital circuits, power distribution, sensor integration, and harnessing to support robust performance.

What youll 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.

What Paradigm Robotics is looking for

• 5+ years of hands-on electrical design experience for robotics or embedded systems (analog and digital circuits, power distribution, sensors).
• Experience designing robot bus and wiring harness systems, including harness development.
• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium, KiCad, or Eagle.
• Sensor integration experience with robotics platforms.
• Experience with thermal, EMI, and vibration testing and debugging in robotics hardware.
• Strong fundamentals in electrical engineering and ability to work across hardware, software, and mechanical teams.
