The role

You will own the design and development of electrical systems and subsystems for HaloBraid. This includes designing, prototyping, and validating electronics for a complex electromechanical system.

What you will do

• Own the design and development of electrical systems and subsystems for HaloBraid through pilot builds and production.
• Design, prototype, and validate electronics, including circuit design, schematic capture, PCB layout, board bring-up, and debugging.
• Develop and integrate sensing, motor control, power distribution, and other electronics for a complex electromechanical system.
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers to make architecture decisions and resolve integration challenges.
• Build rigorous test and validation processes using experiments and data.
• Design for manufacturability, cost, reliability, and safety.
• Support supplier engagement, pilot builds, and production handoff.
• Troubleshoot complex hardware issues and drive solutions from prototype through production.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years of experience designing and developing electronics for physical products.
• Strong fundamentals in analog and digital circuit design, PCB layout, board bring-up, and hardware debugging.
• Experience designing electronics for electromechanical systems, including sensors, actuators, motors, and embedded controllers.
• Proficiency with electrical design tools and hands-on lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
• A track record of owning electrical designs from initial concept through prototyping, validation, and production readiness.
• Strong system-level judgment and the ability to evaluate tradeoffs across electrical, mechanical, firmware, cost, and reliability requirements.
• A rigorous approach to experimentation, troubleshooting, and data-driven decision-making.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving hardware environment where designs evolve through testing and iteration.

Nice to have

• Experience with motor control, motion systems, or precision robotics.
• Experience with embedded firmware development in C/C++ and microcontroller interfaces.
• Familiarity with signal processing, feedback control systems, or sensor integration.
• Experience with EMC/EMI, electrical safety, and product certification.
• Experience with DFM/DFT, PCB assembly, contract manufacturers, and production test development.
• Experience developing consumer electronics or other compact, high-reliability electromechanical products.
• Experience mentoring engineers or helping establish electrical engineering best practices.
