• Contribute PCB schematics and manufacturing documentation to the project's open-source hardware releases

Core Key Skills

• 3+ years of hands-on electrical engineering experience on high-complexity electromechanical products
• Solid understanding of electrical/electronic systems, including motor drivers, sensors and embedded hardware integration
• 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 analyzers and CAN/UART sniffers for in-depth hardware debug
• Expertise in connector selection, grounding strategies, harness routing and EMI suppression techniques
• Strong communication skills across firmware teams, mechanical engineers and leadership

Nice to Have

• Experience with bipedal/humanoid robot hardware or legged locomotion platforms
• Familiarity with CAN bus, motor controllers, and how electrical design affects firmware/control integration
• Python scripting for hardware automation and data analysis
• Familiarity with sim-to-real workflows and how hardware decisions affect locomotion policy training
