Full Job Posting

• 1. Electrical System Design

  • Power Architecture: Design regulated power systems including voltage rails, DC/DC converters, switches, fuses, and grounding schemes.
  • Wire Harness Design: Design and document robust wire harnesses for power and data lines, including shielding, strain relief, and standard connectors.
  • PCB Design: Create PCBs for power distribution, protocol bridging, and embedded control.
  • Networking & Communication: Architect wired and wireless communication systems (Ethernet, USB, CAN, I2C, WiFi, 5G).
  • Budgets & Tolerances: Maintain system-level power and bandwidth budgets. Ensure electrical tolerance to noise, EMI, and vibration.

• 2. Electrical System Implementation

  • CAD & Schematics: Create PCB schematics, harness diagrams, pinouts, and complete PCB BOMs using tools like KiCAD or Altium.
  • Calculations: Conduct electrical calculations including current draw, peak power, signal integrity, and fault analysis.
  • Design for Field Conditions: Engineer for EMI/EMC robustness, thermal resilience, and fault isolation under field operating conditions.
  • Testing: Conduct power validation (noise, load, transients), communication tests (bandwidth, latency), and EMI evaluation.
  • Integration: Collaborate with sensor, compute, and mechanical teams to ensure end-to-end system compatibility and robustness.
  • Documentation & Budgets: Maintain PCB schematics and systems level wiring diagrams. Manage system-level power and data bandwidth budgets.

• 3. Electrical System Production & Servicing

  • Build: Work with vendors and contract manufacturers to procure PCBs and harnesses. Develop QA checks for incoming units.
  • Debug: Investigate system faults using logs, oscilloscopes, analyzers, and power monitors.
  • Support: Provide hands-on support during integration, deployment, and servicing in the field.
  • Education: B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
  • Experience Level: We are recruiting across a wide range of experience levels from entry level engineers to senior and staff engineers.
  • Power Systems: Experience designing and testing low-voltage regulated power systems.
  • Harnessing: Hands-on design and integration of custom wire harnesses for robotics or automotive-style systems.
  • PCB Design: Proficiency in PCB schematic and layout using KiCAD, Altium, or equivalent tools.
  • Communication Protocols: Familiarity with USB, Ethernet, CAN, I2C, GMSL, and wireless technologies.
  • Testing & Debugging: Skills using electrical test tools including oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and EMI/EMC setups.
  • Documentation: Ability to produce detailed electrical documentation for design, manufacturing, and servicing.
  • Systems Thinking: Experience working across mechanical, compute, and autonomy teams to deliver robust integrated systems.
  • Cross Functional Robotic Skills: Ability to contribute electrical, sensing, and embedded computing work to deliver robust integrated systems.
  • Scaling: Experience taking systems from prototype to large scale production.
  • Field Environments : Experience developing systems for harsh field environments.
  • Deployed Robotics: Experience working on robotics deployed in real world settings such as autonomous vehicles, drones, or ruggedized robots.
  • Systems Level Robotics: Fluency across electrical, mechanical, and software systems.
  • Reliability Engineering: Background in fault protection, EMI/EMC compliance, and safety-critical design.
