Job description

This role leads the electrical engineering team that designs the boards inside industrial robot arms, from motor controllers to sensing boards. A strong candidate brings deep hands on experience taking complex boards through production and a proven record of hiring, coaching, and growing engineers. The manager stays close to the lab and design work while owning schedules, quality, and cross team decisions.

How it fits the AI era

AI changes how robots are instructed, but the electronics that power and sense motion still have to be designed, tested, and made reliable. This role stays human in its core: judging trade offs, reviewing designs, debugging in the lab, and building a team that ships manufacturable hardware. The AI platform makes the robots easier to use, which raises the bar on the electronics underneath.

How it builds AI experience

The posting does not ask for AI experience directly. The relevant exposure comes from working on the compute, camera, and sensing boards that connect to the company's AI driven instruction platform. Building familiarity with embedded compute and sensor integration would help a candidate connect electrical work to how the robots are trained.

Worth showing

• Board design through production
• Leading electrical engineers
• Power and digital electronics
• Lab debugging and bring up
• Cross team communication
