Job description

This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing robotics company developing advanced autonomous systems and play a key role in designing the electronics that power them.

If you're an Electrical Engineer who enjoys hands-on PCB design, rapid prototyping, and seeing your work quickly integrated into real hardware, this role offers the chance to own critical electrical systems from concept through testing and deployment.

Working alongside mechanical and software engineers, you'll help develop custom electronics that support sensing, communication, and control, while contributing to products that are moving rapidly from development into real-world operation.

You'll Get to Expand Your Experience In

• Ownership of PCB and low-voltage electrical systems from concept through validation.
• The opportunity to work on cutting-edge autonomous robotic platforms using custom-designed hardware.
• Fast development cycles where your designs quickly become working products.
• Close collaboration with mechanical, software, and systems engineers in a highly integrated engineering environment.
• Significant technical responsibility with the freedom to influence electrical architecture and product development.

You will get to

• Design custom PCBs and low-voltage electrical systems for autonomous robotic platforms.
• Develop electronics supporting sensors, cameras, communications, and onboard computing.
• Prototype, test, debug, and refine board designs throughout the development lifecycle.
• Support board bring-up, validation, and reliability testing.
• Define electrical architectures for new hardware platforms.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure seamless hardware integration.

You will need to have

• Experience designing and delivering PCB-based electronic systems.
• Strong understanding of low-voltage electrical design and board-level electronics.
• Hands-on experience debugging and validating hardware in a laboratory environment.
• Comfortable working across electrical, mechanical, and software disciplines.
• Experience in fast-paced product development or prototype-driven environments.

Ideally you'll have

• Robotics or autonomous systems.
• Embedded electronics.
• Camera and sensor integration.
• High-speed digital interfaces and communication protocols.
• Experience taking products from prototype through production.

If you're looking for a role where you'll have real ownership, work on advanced robotics technology, and see your designs make an immediate impact, we'd love to hear from you.
