Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and integrate electrical and electro‑mechanical subsystems for autonomous and robotic platforms.
• Support embedded control systems development and electrical integration efforts.
• Own electrical designs from concept through field deployment, including schematic development, PCBA design, component selection, prototyping, testing, and validation.
• Develop and support mobile power systems, including batteries, generators, power electronics, and related infrastructure.
• Create and maintain electrical documentation including schematics, BOMs, test plans, build instructions, and configuration records.
• Design, fabricate, and troubleshoot electrical harnesses and wiring systems.
• Conduct testing, validation, and quality inspections, including continuity testing, bench testing, and system verification.
• Support field deployments, customer demonstrations, troubleshooting, and technical problem resolution.
• Collaborate closely with software, mechanical, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions.
• Participate in rapid development cycles, prototype iterations, and continuous product improvement initiatives.
• Apply EMI/EMC mitigation techniques and robust grounding strategies to improve system reliability in demanding operating environments.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 2+ years of professional electrical engineering experience supporting complex electro‑mechanical systems.
• Experience with embedded systems and microcontroller‑based designs.
• Working knowledge of Python and/or C++ in support of embedded or robotics applications.
• Strong experience with:
• Circuit design and troubleshooting
• Schematic capture and review
• PCBA design and development
• Component selection and sourcing
• Power management systems
• Demonstrated experience taking a PCBA from concept through production and deployment.
• Experience designing mobile power solutions involving batteries, generators, inverters, or power electronics.
• Comfortable using laboratory equipment for validation, testing, and troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with Git version control and Linux environments.
• Strong communication, documentation, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities and project deadlines.

Preferred Qualifications

• CAN Bus communication systems
• EMI/EMC design and noise mitigation
• Battery management systems and charging infrastructure
• Robotics or autonomous vehicle systems
• Networking fundamentals and IP‑based communications
• Defense, aerospace, autonomous vehicle, or high‑reliability product development experience
