Senior Electrical Engineer, Robotics

The role

You will design, develop, and validate core electrical subsystems for general-purpose robot platforms. This includes owning power electronics, motor drive circuits, sensor integration, and PCB design from schematic to production.

What you will do

• Own end-to-end design of power electronics subsystems including battery management, power distribution, protection circuits, and DC-DC conversion
• Design and validate motor drive circuits for high-performance actuation
• Design sensor integration circuits for IMUs, encoders, hall-effect sensors, force/torque sensors, and thermal sensors
• Create schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts using industry-standard EDA tools
• Perform circuit simulation and systematic hardware validation
• Apply EMI/EMC design principles and support FCC, CE, and UL certification
• Drive DFM/DFA decisions for manufacturability and testability
• Instrument boards and conduct board-level bring-up and subsystem verification
• Collaborate with firmware and mechanical engineers
• Document designs for CM handoff and engineering review

Required qualifications

• 5+ years of electrical engineering experience in robotics, industrial automation, automotive, or consumer electronics
• At least one product shipped to production
• Hands-on PCB design experience in industry-standard EDA tools for complex, multi-layer boards with high-speed digital, power, and mixed-signal
• Proven experience designing power electronics: BMS, power distribution, protection circuits, or DC-DC conversion
• Motor drive design experience — BLDC, PMSM, or servo drive circuits
• Strong bench skills: oscilloscope, current probe, power analyzer, logic/spectrum analyzer, signal integrity debug
• Ability to read and interpret electronic circuit diagrams
• Experience with DFM/DFA and working directly with contract manufacturers
• Experience designing complex multilayer PCBs (8+ layers), including controlled impedance routing, mixed-signal design, and high-speed differential pairs

Nice to have

• Experience taking a product through FCC, CE, or UL certification, including EMC pre-compliance testing
• Functional safety design experience (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, or equivalent)
• Familiarity with embedded firmware at the hardware/firmware boundary
• Experience with high-density or thermally-constrained PCB layouts
• Background in production test fixture design and manufacturing ramp
• Proficiency in Python or similar scripting for test automation
• Hands-on use of AI-assisted EDA or coding tools in your design workflow
