Electrical Engineer

The role

You will design and own the hardware for LeLamp, working on electronics for power, sensing, actuation, and computation. You will take designs from schematic to physical board and perform regular bench work including soldering and debugging.

What you will do

• Design and validate PCBAs for robot subsystems including power distribution, motor control, sensing, and compute integration.
• Develop early electrical concepts and run trade studies to support architecture decisions.
• Own schematics and layout through fabrication and bring-up.
• Debug hardware issues systematically and close the loop with clear documentation.
• Review schematics, layouts, and BOMs from teammates and external vendors.
• Support system integration and cross-boundary debugging between hardware and firmware.
• Perform hands-on bench work including soldering small components, rework, probing, and board bring-up.
• Help define and evolve the platform’s electrical architecture over time.

Required qualifications

• Degree in Electrical Engineering
• Minimum 3+ years of hands-on experience
• Fluent in Altium or similar tools across schematics and layout
• Document clearly and drives issues to resolution
• Comfortable at the bench with soldering, rework, probing, and prototype iteration
• Experience with power electronics, motor control, sensing systems, or embedded robotics hardware
• Experience programming microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs
• Comfortable working in environments where architecture is still evolving

Nice to have

• Strong EE fundamentals and experience solving analog issues inside digital systems, ESD / signals connected to the outside world, voltage mismatch issues like 1.8V parts inside 3.3V systems and share
• Love being at the bench as much as at the computer, and hardware is not abstract to you
• Move quickly through iteration cycles and don't wait for perfect information to make progress
• Take ownership over their designs end to end, from first schematic to working hardware in the robot
• Work well in small, collaborative teams where electrical and mechanical are in constant conversation
• Care about what the electronics enable: expressiveness, responsiveness, and the feeling that the robot is alive

About the company

Human Computer Lab is a research lab building character robots that feel alive and responsive. Their goal is to push the frontier of human-robot interaction by making technology more legible, emotionally intuitive, and human-centered.
