Senior Electrical Engineer

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to own electrical system integration across our robotics platforms. You will be a key player in electronics design for robot platforms and bridge the gap between software/firmware and kinematic motion and control. Additionally, you will be the internal expert for grounding, shielding, filtering, signal integrity, wireless integration, and EMC from concept through production. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who can make sound system-level tradeoffs as requirements evolve, balancing electrical performance, mechanical constraints, cost, reliability, manufacturability, and schedule without over-optimizing any single component.

Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and validate power and sensor electronics systems
• Design and validate motor driver circuits and power electronics systems
• Integrate and fuse sensor data, including IMUs, encoders, hall sensors, and temperature sensors at the PCB level
• Define grounding, bonding, shielding, filtering, and cable strategies across the robot
• Identify EMC risks early and drive practical mitigations before they become late-stage issues
• Debug EMC and hardware issues using scopes, spectrum analyzers, probes, LISNs, network analyzers, and other lab equipment
• Make system-level tradeoffs across performance, risk, cost, schedule, and manufacturability
• Partner across EE, ME, firmware, controls, systems, manufacturing, and external labs and consultants
• Document design processes and contribute to hardware best practices

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field, plus relevant work experience
• Hands-on experience taking electrical hardware from concept through validation and production
• Hands-on experience with EMC/EMI design, debugging, and test on complex hardware
• Strong knowledge of grounding, shielding, filtering, signal integrity, and power integrity
• Proficiency in power electronics design, motor drives, switching power, high-current DC systems, battery management, and analog circuit design
• Strong understanding of sensor integration, including IMUs, encoders, hall sensors, and cameras
• Experience with RF systems, antenna integration, coexistence, and impedance control
• Strong PCB design and layout skills with a system-level approach to EMC problems
• Familiarity with communication protocols and interfaces such as GMSL, CAN, Ethernet, USB, SPI, I2C, and RS-485
• Comfortable debugging in the lab, modifying hardware, and building quick test fixtures
• Strong judgment and comfort making decisions with incomplete or changing requirements
• Able to communicate tradeoffs clearly and drive decisions across multiple disciplines
