Electrical Design Lead

The role

The Electrical Design Lead will own the end-to-end electrical architecture for advanced robotic systems. This is a hands-on technical leadership role involving schematic design, PCB layout, and low-level fault isolation.

What you will do

• Lead, mentor, and scale the EE team
• Own the robot's end-to-end electrical architecture and electrical budget
• Set EE design standards and review schematics and layouts
• Partner with mechanical, firmware, and perception teams
• Lead system-level electrical bring-up, fault isolation, and root-cause debugging
• Establish workflows for design reviews, sign-offs, and roadmapping
• Drive DFM/DFA and collaborate with PCB fabricators and contract manufacturers

Required qualifications

• Technical degree in EE (or equivalent)
• 8+ years of full-cycle board development for complex robotic, automotive, or electromechanical systems
• Hands-on experience designing, laying out, and debugging hardware
• Deep, hands-on experience with EtherCAT (topology, distributed-clock sync, PDO mapping)
• Mastery of at least one core domain—power electronics/motor drives or sensor/mixed-signal front-ends
• Strong grasp of high-current power architectures, rail partitioning, budgeting, and circuit protection
• Solid command of EMI/EMC, grounding, and ESD mitigation
• Fluency with high-speed serial interfaces and protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, PMBus)
• Firmware literacy to debug hardware boundaries
• Experience mentoring engineers, managing risk, and driving multi-board hardware projects through volume manufacturing
