Electrical Engineer - Open-Source Humanoid Robotics Hardware

DADACONSULTANTS PTE. LTD.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

DADACONSULTANTS PTE. LTD. is seeking an experienced electrical engineer to own full-stack electrical design for an open-source humanoid robot platform. You will design schematics and PCB layouts, integrate power systems and sensors, and bring up hardware across multiple revisions.

You will work closely with firmware and controls teams to ensure low-latency, robust hardware that supports safe locomotion and scalable manufacturing. Strong debugging skills and cross-team communication are essential.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on electrical engineering experience on high-complexity electromechanical products.
• Solid understanding of motor drivers, sensors and embedded hardware integration within electromechanical systems.
• Deep familiarity with low-voltage (under 60V) DC power systems, DC-DC converters, MOSFET gate drivers, current-sense amplifiers, and passive network design.
• Proficiency with oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and CAN/UART sniffers for in-depth hardware debugging.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to drive alignment across firmware, mechanical, and leadership stakeholders.
• Experience with bipedal or humanoid robot hardware, or legged locomotion platforms is a bonus.

Responsibilities

• Design and review schematics and PCB layouts for power distribution units, motor driver boards, and actuator control electronics.
• Integrate wiring harnesses, PCBA enclosures, and motor controllers into mechanical assemblies from the ground up.
• Lead bring-up of power systems, sensors, and actuator subassemblies; diagnose and resolve issues across multiple hardware revisions.
• Define and execute electrical and system-level test protocols, analyse failure modes, and iterate designs based on test data.
• Collaborate closely with firmware and controls teams to ensure electrical design decisions support stable, low-latency control loops.
• Apply expertise in connector selection, grounding strategies, harness routing, and EMI suppression to deliver robust, field-reliable hardware.
• Contribute to open-source design efforts, including PCB schematics and manufacturing documentation for the wider robotics community.
