Build Technology That Makes a Difference
Ready to work on cutting-edge autonomous systems that solve real-world challenges?
We're partnering with an innovative, venture-backed technology company developing next-generation AI-powered autonomous platforms. This is an opportunity to join a small, elite engineering team where your work will move from concept to deployment—not sit on a shelf.
If you're passionate about designing rugged, high-performance electronics and want to own products from prototype through production, this is the role for you.
What You'll Do
As an Electrical Engineer, you'll lead the electrical architecture for advanced autonomous systems. You'll be responsible for designing reliable, field-ready electronics that integrate sensors, power systems, and embedded hardware in demanding environments.
Responsibilities
- Design complex, multi-layer PCBs from concept through production.
- Develop schematics, layouts, and prototypes for high-performance electronic systems.
- Integrate advanced sensor arrays while ensuring exceptional signal integrity.
- Design and optimize power distribution systems for motors, embedded computing, and edge AI hardware.
- Create robust circuits for motor controllers, sensor interfaces, and communication protocols including CAN Bus and EtherCAT.
- Perform hands-on hardware debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment.
- Design electrical systems capable of operating in harsh environments with vibration, temperature extremes, and humidity.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to rapidly prototype and improve products.
What We're Looking ForRequired Qualifications
- Proven experience designing and delivering real-world electrical systems.
- Expertise with PCB design tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, or similar.
- Strong understanding of power electronics and EMC/electrical safety principles.
- Hands-on approach with a passion for building, testing, and solving complex engineering challenges.
- U.S. Citizenship and the ability to pass a background check.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with digital audio interfaces (I2S, TDM, PDM).
- Knowledge of high-speed communication protocols.
- Experience designing power systems for robotics, gimbals, or motion-control platforms.
- Familiarity with defense industry standards.
- Active Security Clearance or the ability to obtain one.
- Personal passion projects involving robotics, electronics, drones, or embedded systems.
