Role Description

We are recruiting for an exceptional Electrical Engineer - Compute Hardware Design to design and test innovative robotic hardware ranging from architectural development through to detailed circuit and PCB/A design and board testing and integration.

In this role you will:

• Perform architectural and compute / component selection trade studies.
• Work closely with our business development, modeling & simulation, software, safety, mechanical, integration & testing, and industrial design teams to define operating conditions, performance requirements, and packaging / thermal targets.
• Design circuits and PCB/A design from conceptual architecture through detailed design and fabrication / assembly drawing release.
• Perform circuit and layout analyses to support design reviews and validate the design/layout meets timing requirements.
• Work with vendors and manufacturers to produce your components and assemblies.
• Support board build, bring-up, design verification, and testing of robotic hardware.

Qualifications

Must-have:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in electrical engineering, robotics, mechatronics, or similar field.
• 5+ years of experience in electrical engineering with a focus on designing compute hardware.
• Expert user of circuit simulation and eCAD software to design circuits and PCB/As.
• Familiarity with design for manufacturability (DFM) practices for PCB/A and module assemblies.
• Experience designing circuits and PCB layout to meet power integrity and high speed signal integrity & timing.
• Self-starter that can drive a concept forward and continuously improve definition through team interaction.

Nice-to-have:

• PhD in electrical engineering, robotics, mechatronics, or similar field.
• Expert user of Altium Designer eCAD software.

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey.Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiringprocess or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in aconfidential file.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

How do you know if you have a disability?

A disability is a condition that substantially limits one or more of your “major life activities.” If you have or have ever had such a condition, you are a person with a disability. Disabilities include, but are not limited to:

• Alcohol or other substance use disorder (not currently using drugs illegally)
• Autoimmune disorder, for example, lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV/AIDS
• Blind or low vision
• Cancer (past or present)
• Cardiovascular or heart disease
• Celiac disease
• Cerebral palsy
• Deaf or serious difficulty hearing
• Diabetes
• Disfigurement, for example, disfigurement caused by burns, wounds, accidents, or congenital disorders
• Epilepsy or other seizure disorder
• Gastrointestinal disorders, for example, Crohn's Disease, irritable bowel syndrome
• Intellectual or developmental disability
• Mental health conditions, for example, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD
• Missing limbs or partially missing limbs
• Mobility impairment, benefiting from the use of a wheelchair, scooter, walker, leg brace(s) and/or other supports
• Nervous system condition, for example, migraine headaches, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Neurodivergence, for example, attention‑deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyspraxia, other learning disabilities
• Partial or complete paralysis (any cause)
• Pulmonary or respiratory conditions, for example, tuberculosis, asthma, emphysema
• Short stature (dwarfism)
• Traumatic brain injury

PUBLIC BURDEN STATEMENT: According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. This survey should take about 5 minutes to complete.
