About the role
- We are seeking Senior Level Electrical Engineer with degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
What you'll do
- Own electrical designs from concept through production — spanning power, motor control, sensing, communication, and mixed-signal electronics for robotics platform.
- Generate electrical schematics / layouts and bring-up power, digital and mixed-signal printed circuit board assemblies, including but not limited to, main logic boards (MLBs), control boards, test and characterization boards (SoCs, FPGAs, analog front ends, testing ASICs, multi-chip packages), interface boards for high-speed video and networking connections to NVIDIA Jetson and Thor platforms.
- Collaborate across diverse teams to resolve cross-functional issues including those related to architecture (performance, power consumption, thermal behavior), production (quality, failure analysis, manufacturing, cost), compliance (safety, reliability, regulatory, environmental) and overall system integration
- Design for volume manufacturing and support factory engineers from prototyping to product launch.
- Develop engineering test plans and methodologies for in-circuit and functional testing.
- Validate power and signal integrity in laboratory settings, ensuring alignment with design specifications, identify design issues and propose corrective actions.
- Ability to support multiple projects concurrently, ensuring timely completion of design and validation tasks.
Required Qualifications
- A bachelor's degree with 8 years of experience
- Proficiency with Altium 365, Cadence Orcad, Allegro, PLM tools such as Arena and Component Management database
