Job description

Electrical Engineer (Robotics)

Key Responsibilities

• Hardware Architecture: Create and critique schematics and PCB layouts for power distribution units, motor driver boards, and actuator control electronics.
• Prototype & Debug: Lead bring-up of power systems, sensors, and actuator subassemblies; diagnose and resolve issues across multiple hardware revisions.
• Manufacturability & Compliance: Refine designs for volume production, robustness, and international regulatory compliance (EMC, safety certifications).
• Cross-Discipline Collaboration: Interface with firmware engineers to tune motor control algorithms, optimize sensor feedback loops, and validate reliable communication over CAN, UART, SPI, etc.
• Performance Validation: Develop test plans and run electrical performance assessments in both lab and field settings using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and bus analyzers.

Required Qualifications

• PCB Design Expertise: 3+ years of hands-on experience with Altium Designer or equivalent EDA tools for schematic capture and PCB layout.
• Signal Integrity & EMI/EMC: Proven track record in analyzing high-speed signals, mitigating electromagnetic interference, and troubleshooting complex electrical anomalies.
• Power Electronics: Deep familiarity with low-voltage (<60 V) DC power systems, DC–DC converters, MOSFET gate drivers, current‐sense amplifiers, and passive network design.
• Electromechanical Systems: Practical experience with motors, actuators, sensors, custom wire harnesses, and data buses (CAN, UART, SPI).
• Lab Instrumentation: Proficiency using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and CAN/UART sniffers (e.g., CANalyzer, Saleae) for in-depth hardware debug.
• Robustness & Grounding: Expertise in connector selection, grounding strategies, harness routing, and EMI suppression techniques.

Preferred Skills

• Programming Languages: Strong experience with C and Python for test development, firmware integration support, and automation scripts.
• Embedded Compute: Familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson platforms (Orin Nano, Orin NX) or equivalent ARM-based systems.
• Circuit Simulation: Experience using SPICE or similar tools to model and optimize power‐electronic circuits.
• Battery Systems: Background in lithium-ion battery pack design, battery management systems (BMS), and validation protocols.
