Job description

About Enact

The next defining technological breakthrough will be in the physical world. We stand at a historical inflection point: bringing general-purpose intelligence into robotics.

At Enact we rethink the entire robotic tech stack from model architectures and data pipelines, to the actuators and sensors that feed the model. Pushing beyond pure vision and language approaches, we build a proprioceptive nerve system, and the cortex that makes sense of it, to solve dexterity through whole-body force-awareness and deploy robots for thousands of tasks in industry and beyond.

We are shaping a company where brilliant and unconventional people thrive together on solving the hardest challenges of our time. We are truth seekers. We reason from first principles, test our beliefs against reality, and trust that the best ideas can come from anyone. We move fast. We care deeply about our work and colleagues and are driven by passion to change the status quo.

If this resonates, we’re excited to hear from you.

In This Role

You will develop high-performance, high-density electrical systems for our next-generation haptic robotic manipulation platform, from design to a working product.

• Develop robust electrical systems spanning high-performance actuation, power delivery, sensing, control, and embedded electronics
• Lead electrical design, schematics, and layout while balancing performance, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and cost
• Assemble, bring up, and debug boards on the bench, testing performance and reliability both at the component and full system level

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field including hands-on experience in a work environment
• Excellent foundation in the design and analysis of digital, analog, and power electronic circuits, along with scripting skills to support hardware-software integration
• Demonstrated experience designing PCBs (Altium, KiCad, or similar tools) and developing electronics from prototype to reliable product
• Practical experience using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, and soldering tools
• Fluency in English (spoken and written), with strong interpersonal and communication skills.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Proven track record of taking innovative products from design to robust, field-ready production
• Familiarity with safety-critical, fault-tolerant, or high-reliability electronic systems
• Experience with electromechanical systems like motors and motion encoders, tactile or force sensing and control architectures
• Experience with embedded software and hardware development, including low-level languages such as Rust and C/C++ and HDLs such as SystemVerilog and VHDL

What we offer

• The opportunity to make a real impact working on some of the biggest challenges of our time
• A fast-paced learning environment alongside an outstanding, driven team
• Ownership from day one, with the ability to iterate quickly and see your impact firsthand in an early-stage startup
• Visa sponsorship & relocation benefits to hire the best in the world
• A world-class in-person setup in central Zürich, with excellent prototyping, robotics, and technical infrastructure for hands-on builders
• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity participation
