Electrical Engineer, Motor Controllers

Weave was founded to build the robots we’d want to have in our own home.

We believe the next generation of robotics will transform everyday life by enabling people to do more and to reclaim time to spend on what’s important.

We also believe robots are in a sense like any other product: to matter, they have to ship.

Our robots are already operating in real homes and businesses, giving us the opportunity to rapidly improve from real-world experience.

With a growing team, strong customer demand, and capital for expansion, we’re entering an exciting stage of growth—and we’re looking for people with exceptional talent and standards to help bring home robotics to millions of households.

Weave builds and deploys some of the first bimanual robots operating in customer homes.

How capable, safe, quiet, and efficient our robots are has a floor, and that floor is set by their actuators.

To push it, we design and build our own, on our own floor in San Francisco.

In this role, you'll own the motor controllers and the motors they drive: gate drive, power stage, current sensing, feedback interfaces, and the FOC bring-up and tuning that turns a new board and a new motor into an actuator that works efficiently, quietly and reliably.

Working closely with our firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams, you’ll carry controllers from architecture through production, designed for a robot that has to be powerful, precise, safe, and quiet enough to live in someone’s home.

• Design motor controller boards: gate drive, power stage, current sensing, MCU, and protection circuitry for our in-house actuators, across different voltage and current requirements, from schematic through layout, bring-up, validation, and production.
• Own the feedback inputs: the interfaces the control loops live on: encoders, halls, phase voltage sensing, and thermistors, including signal conditioning, noise immunity next to a switching stage, and the timing and synchronization that current sampling requires.
