Job Level
Lead
About the role
- Lead design and system integration of electrical components in autonomous sidewalk delivery robots, including compute, sensors, motor control, battery management, and safety systems.
- Own and define the electrical architecture of robot platforms and standardize power systems, compute platforms, sensor integration, and communication interfaces.
- Develop and maintain architectural standards and design frameworks across robot platforms to ensure consistency, scalability, and manufacturability.
- Collaborate closely with software, firmware, mechanical, autonomy, and manufacturing teams to align design choices, interface definitions, and system-level integration.
- Lead architectural design reviews and provide technical direction to electrical engineering to meet safety, performance, and reliability targets.
- Evaluate and select components and technologies (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, powertrain control systems, CAN, Ethernet, LiDAR, cameras, ultrasonic, GPS).
- Oversee schematic and PCB layout best practices, ensuring signal integrity, thermal management, and EMI/EMC compliance.
- Drive decisions on electrical system modularity, harness design, and serviceability to support volume production and field support.
- Support validation and testing efforts including power profiling, thermal testing, and functional safety assessments.
- Track emerging technologies in robotics, mobility, and power systems to drive innovation in next-gen robot platforms.
Requirements
- Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- 10+ years of experience in electrical system design, with 5+ years in architecture or lead roles.
- Hands-on experience in robotics, autonomous systems, electric vehicles, or similar complex electromechanical systems.
- Proven experience integrating and powering compute platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson (Orin/Xavier) and ARM-based SBCs.
- Expertise in low-voltage system integration, sensor interfacing, and motor control.
- Strong knowledge of PCB design, power electronics, harnessing, and EMI/EMC mitigation.
- Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and coordinate cross-functional technical alignment.
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
- Experience designing for mobile or outdoor environments (e.g., IP-rated systems, vibration, thermal management).
- Familiarity with standards and compliance related to safety and mobility (ISO 26262, UL, CE, etc.).
- Experience with autonomous perception stacks and sensor fusion requirements from an electrical perspective.
- Prior experience in a startup or fast-paced product development environment.
