About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design analog and digital circuits including power regulation, signal conditioning, and sensor interfaces.
Own full PCB development — schematic capture, layout, and bring-up.
Collaborate closely with mechanical and software engineers to ensure reliable system integration.
Troubleshoot and debug system-level electrical issues across hardware and software boundaries.
Define and maintain wiring diagrams, harnessing, grounding schemes, and EMI/EMC strategies.
Support sensor selection and integration across modalities: thermal, gas, visual, RF, and more.
Run and interpret tests for thermal load, EMI, and mechanical ruggedness.
Design and fabricate cable harnesses and enclosures optimized for field reliability.
Run SPICE simulations for analog validation, noise analysis, and circuit stability.
Contribute to design reviews and maintain clear documentation for design decisions.
Help establish internal electrical standards and test infrastructure for future product iterations.
Engage directly with end users as needed to inform engineering direction on specific features.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of hands-on electrical design experience for robotics or embedded systems, covering analog/digital circuits, power distribution, and sensors — this is a dealbreaker requirement.
Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout in Altium, KiCad, or Eagle.
Experience with embedded systems development, board bring-up, and debugging.
Experience designing robot bus and wiring harness systems, including full harness development.
Strong cross-functional fundamentals — comfortable working across hardware, software, and mechanical teams.
