Senior Electrical Engineer — Safety & Systems Integration (On-site)

The role

Senior Electrical Engineers will design and validate PCBAs and electrical subsystems for the Bolt mobile manipulation platform. One role focuses on safety systems and the other on upper and lower integration.

What you will do

• Own the design and validation of PCBAs and electrical subsystems from concept through production release
• Design safety architecture with safety PLC, dual-channel I/O, STO, and safety-rated encoders
• Produce design evidence for ISO 13849 PL d / Cat 3 certification
• Own system electrical architecture including harness, connector design, and bus topology
• Lead bring-up of integrated prototypes
• Perform schematic capture, PCB layout, board bring-up, test plans, and root-cause debugging
• Lead design reviews and contribute to the component library and release process
• Act as a technical contact for PCB and harness vendors
• Mentor associate and mid-level engineers

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering (or related)
• 5+ years designing, building, and testing PCBAs and electrical systems
• Experience with designs taken through production release
• Strong in digital electronics (MCUs, Ethernet, SPI/I2C/UART)
• Strong in analog and sensing, power sequencing and protection, and system-level grounding and EMC
• Either safety-rated design (ISO 13849 / IEC 62061 / IEC 61508) or system integration (harness and connector design, bus topology, bring-up of multi-board systems)
• Proficient in Altium Designer for schematic capture and multi-layer layout
• Experience with scope, logic/protocol analyzer, and bench instruments

Nice to have

• harness tooling (Altium Harness, Rapid Harness, or similar)
• Mobile robot safety: ISO 3691-4 / ANSI R15.08, safety laser scanners, safe speed and field switching
• AMR navigation and localization hardware: lidar and camera integration, IMU and wheel odometry, RTK-GNSS, indoor RTLS (UWB or similar)
• Real-time industrial fieldbuses (EtherCAT, CAN/CANopen, EtherNet/IP, CIP Safety / FSoE)
• Motor control and encoder interfaces; battery and high-current power distribution
• EMC/EMI design and compliance testing (CE/UL, IEC 61000 series)
• Taking products from prototype through NPI to volume manufacturing

Benefits

• Employee Stock Options
• paid time off
• medical/dental/vision insurance
• life insurance
• disability insurance
• 401(k)
