Senior Electrical Design Engineer

Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features.

Humanoid is the first AI and robotics company in the UK, creating the world’s most advanced, reliable, commercially scalable, and safe humanoid robots. Our first humanoid robot HMND 01 is a next-gen labour automation unit, providing highly efficient services across various use cases, starting with industrial applications.

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to join our team based in Vancouver, CA.

Our Mission:

At Humanoid we strive to create the world’s leading, commercially scalable, safe, and advanced humanoid robots that seamlessly integrate into daily life and amplify human capacity.

Vision:

In a world where artificial intelligence opens up new horizons, our faith in its potential unveils a new outlook where, together, humans and machines build a new future filled with knowledge, inspiration, and incredible discoveries. The development of a functional humanoid robot underpins an era of abundance and well-being where poverty will disappear, and people will be able to choose what they want to do. We believe that providing a universal basic income will eventually be a true evolution of our civilization.

Solution:

As the demands on our built environment rise, labour shortages loom. With the world’s workforce increasingly moving away from undesirable tasks, the manufacturing, construction, and logistics industries critical to our daily lives are left exposed. By deploying our general-purpose humanoid robots in environments deemed hazardous or monotonous, we envision a future where human well-being is safeguarded while closing the gaps in critical global labour needs.

Responsibilities

• Develop electrical systems that power and control Humanoid’s advanced robots, with a focus on sensors, compute architecture, and power systems.
• Use strong circuit analysis fundamentals to review electrical designs, conduct failure analysis, and troubleshoot complex electrical systems.
• Create detailed schematics and PCB layouts using Altium, ensuring the designs meet the performance, reliability, and manufacturability standards required for robotics.
• Write firmware in C and HDL to program microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGAs, testing and refining embedded designs to ensure optimal performance.
• Utilize your knowledge of command-line Linux to configure networks, run software, and interface with robots for testing and validation.
• Use a variety of lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, programmable loads, and spectrum analyzers, to validate designs and solve complex electrical engineering challenges.
• Work closely with mechanical engineers, software developers, and other team members to integrate electrical systems with robotics hardware, ensuring seamless operation and performance.

Expertise

• We are looking for talented candidates who have great fundamentals in electrical engineering and humanoid robotics. Here is a list of expertise or experience that would be a valuable asset to our team. You don’t need to have experience in ALL of these areas to be considered for this position. Candidates with any of the following technical expertise can be considered.
• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Experience with high-speed data technologies such as PCIE, Ethernet, EtherCAT and/or other communication protocols in PCB-based devices and systems.
• Experience developing power regulation and distribution systems, including particular expertise with short-circuit protection systems, switching power supplies, and creative power management technologies.
• Proficiency with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium) for schematic capture and layout.
• Familiarity with embedded programming, including C, HDL, and other relevant languages for microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGAs.
• Working knowledge of circuit simulation, analysis, and debugging techniques, including the use of oscilloscopes, power supplies, and spectrum analyzers.
• Experience with Python, C++, LabView, or MATLAB for automation and testing.
• Knowledge of SolidWorks or similar mechanical CAD tools.
• Familiarity with Verilog or VHDL for hardware design and simulation.
• Experience in building Linux kernels and modifying or writing device drivers.
• High competitive salary.
• 23 calendar days of vacation per year.
• Opportunity to work on the latest technologies in AI/ML, Robotics and others.
• Startup model, offering a dynamic and innovative work environment.
