Robotics Electrical Engineer - Power & PCB Architect

Niuro; New York, Northern (NY, KY); Hybrid; USD 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Niuro seeks a senior electrical designer to own the electrical architecture for robotic arms and humanoid systems. You will take subsystems from power budgeting and schematic capture through layout and bench bring-up, delivering robust, manufacturable hardware.

You will collaborate with mechanical, controls, and firmware teams to ensure reliable operation under high-load conditions, and drive manufacturing-scale production with DFMA practices.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on electrical engineering experience shipping hardware
• Deep expertise in custom PCB design, including schematic capture, multilayer layout, BOM management in major EDA tools
• Proven track record taking complex PCB designs from concept through production
• Hands-on experience with Altium Designer, Power Electronics, Hardware Bring-up, Mixed-Signal Design, Signal Integrity, DFM

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end electrical design for robotic arms and humanoids, including power distribution boards, motor-driver units, sensor PCBs, and interconnect harnessing.
• Design and lay out custom multilayer, mixed-signal, and high-current PCBs with a rigorous focus on power and signal integrity.
• Design power distribution networks, DC-DC conversion stages, fusing, and protection circuits capable of powering high-power actuators and sensitive compute rails.
• Integrate motor drivers, gate drivers, and current sensing for brushless actuators in close coordination with controls and firmware engineers.
• Conduct bench bring-up, hardware debugging, thermal analysis, and root-cause failure analysis using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and bench supplies.
• Drive design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA), working directly with PCBA fabrication partners to scale hardware into production.
