Job summary

Botsync, a leading robotics solutions provider, is seeking a senior hardware engineer to own the power systems and actuation architecture for its AMR platforms. You will design, validate, and iterate motor drives, power distribution, and BMS interfaces across customer deployments, while mentoring junior engineers and guiding DFx decisions.

The role emphasizes hands-on power electronics design, PCB layout for high-current traces, and firmware integration with embedded systems.

Qualifications

• 5-8 years in robotics, mechatronics, or related fields.
• Bachelors or Masters in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable discipline.
• Deep motor control expertise for DC/BLDC/servo systems, driver circuits, and closed-loop control.
• Power electronics design: DC-DC converters, motor drivers, BMS, protection circuits.
• Embedded C/C++ firmware on microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M).
• Ability to read and design PCB schematics for high-current power electronics.
• Experience with lab instruments (oscilloscopes, analyzers, power supplies, meters).
• Prior experience owning a power/actuation subsystem end-to-end.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and validate power distribution, motor drive, and actuation systems for Botsync AMRs.
• Own architecture decisions for power systems and actuation subsystems across Botsync products.
• Design and validate power electronics PCBs integrated into AMRs in various environments.
• Analyze and document power/actuation schematics aligned with system requirements.
• Diagnose issues at power electronics and firmware levels during validation and field deployments.
• Design test tools and strategies to ensure hardware quality and manufacturability.
• Mentor junior hardware engineers in power electronics and actuation design.
• Lead component selection, vendor evaluation, and DFx decisions.

Job description

Requirements

Asia's leading robotics solutions provider, automating enterprise supply chains since 2017. We build syncOS — the industry-first no-code platform that lets manufacturers and warehouse operators integrate, reprogram, and scale automation systems without halting production or calling in specialists. Our autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) run 24/7 for global brands — transforming production lines in hours, not weeks.

As Botsync scales its AMR fleet across more demanding industrial environments, this L3 role owns the power systems and actuation architecture that keep every robot running reliably — from motor drive electronics to battery and power distribution design.

The key responsibilities include:

• Design, develop, and validate power distribution, motor drive, and actuation systems for Botsync's AMR platforms during customer-specific adoption projects
• Own architecture decisions for power systems and actuation subsystems (motor drivers, power distribution, battery/BMS interfaces) across Botsync AMR products
• Design and validate power electronics PCBs (motor drivers, power distribution boards, battery interface boards) integrated into AMRs deployed across various industrial environments
• Analyze and author PCB schematics for power and actuation subsystems, ensuring electrical design aligns with system-level requirements

Validation, testing and production support

• Diagnose and resolve issues at both the power electronics and firmware levels during lab validation, pilot runs, and field deployments
• Design and implement test tools and validation strategies to streamline manufacturing and ensure hardware quality
• Investigate and close issues arising during AMR production, with a focus on repeatability and long‑term reliability
• Document power and actuation system designs using flowcharts, state diagrams, logic breakdowns, and structured test results

Technical leadership

• Set technical direction for power systems and actuation architecture across current and future AMR platforms
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior hardware engineers on power electronics and actuation design
• Own component selection, vendor evaluation, and design-for-manufacturing decisions for power and actuation subsystems

Requirements

Essential

• 5 - 8 years of experience in robotics, mechatronics, or related fields
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable discipline
• Deep expertise in motor control (DC motors, brushless/BLDC motors, servo systems) — driver circuit design, current sensing, and closed-loop control at the hardware level
• Power electronics design experience: DC-DC converters, motor drivers, battery management systems (BMS), power distribution architecture, and protection circuits (overcurrent, overvoltage, thermal)
• Embedded C/C++ experience for implementing motor control and power management firmware on microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, STM32, or similar)
• Comfortable authoring and reading PCB schematics for power electronics, including layout considerations for thermal management and high-current traces
• Skilled at using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, clamp meters, and multimeters
• Prior experience owning a power or actuation subsystem end-to-end, from concept through production, at a senior level

Highly desirable

• Hands‑on knowledge of CANBus, Modbus RTU/TCP, RS485/RS232, and other industrial communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet) for actuator and system communication
• Working knowledge of ROS 1 or ROS 2
• Exposure to robotics safety standards (ISO 13849, ISO 3691)
• Experience with version control systems like Git
• Basic understanding of TCP/IP and UDP networking concepts

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Comprehensive health benefits package
• Hustle of a young startup, always something to do and something to improve
• Opportunities for professional development and growth into management roles
• Collaborative and inclusive work environment
