About the role
Responsibilities
Own significant portions of the electrical architecture for compact, highly integrated robotic and electromechanical systems, including sensing, communication, power distribution, and actuator interfaces.
Design and implement compact electronics spanning circuit design, component selection, PCB layout, bring-up, validation, and deployment.
Build and validate hardware in integrated robotic systems, driving issues from first observation through root cause and design resolution.
Partner closely with mechanical, firmware, software, controls, manufacturing, and research teams to deliver coherent system-level solutions.
Make thoughtful engineering tradeoffs across performance, size, power, reliability, manufacturability, and iteration speed.
Requirements
6+ years of experience developing electrical systems for robotics, consumer electronics, medical devices, wearables, cameras, or other tightly integrated electromechanical products.
Have personally owned hardware from concept through PCB layout, bring-up, validation, and deployment.
Experience designing compact, high-density electronics that must fit within severe mechanical constraints.
Experience with technologies such as BGAs, rigid-flex assemblies, fine-pitch interconnects, micro-coax, FPCs, dense connector systems, or similar packaging approaches.
Ability to reason across electrical, firmware, and mechanical boundaries when making design decisions.
Comfort taking ownership of loosely defined problems and turning them into working systems with limited direction.
Experience partnering closely with cross-functional teams to translate product goals into practical hardware systems.
Experience building and validating integrated prototypes where mechanical, electrical, firmware, and sensing systems are developed together.
Nice-to-Haves
Experience with GMSL, MIPI/CSI, FPD-Link, or other high-speed camera interfaces.
Experience with multi-board robotic or electromechanical systems that include distributed sensing, actuation, and real-time communication.
Experience bringing hardware through EVT/DVT-style builds, low-volume production, or contract-manufacturer-supported builds.
Familiarity with writing bring-up, test, or diagnostic firmware in C, C++, Rust, or Python.
Lead deployment, commissioning, and reliability of electrical power systems for AI data centers across multiple sites. Requires data center commissioning experience, MV/UPS/switchgear expertise, standards development, and up to 50% travel.
