Job description

Company Overview

Each year, 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic, we’re on a mission to recapture that lost time, and we’re doing it by revolutionizing home robotics.

Our first product, also called Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot. We've built what amounts to “full self-driving in the home” with real-time 3D mapping, adaptive path-tracking, and a precise semantic understanding of the home. Our breakthroughs in spatial AI allow Matic to work reliably in real homes, using only RGB cameras and neural networks running on-device.

Privacy First

What happens in the home, stays in the home. Our robots are private by design, with all data processing performed by the robot itself, not in the cloud.

Our Approach

Before the iPhone, consumers adopted several distinct devices; cell phones, PDAs, and portable music players each served a particular need. We believe in a similar progression for home robotics, starting with single-purpose robots and building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time.

Our Culture

Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We're ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save precious time and energy.

About the role

As a Senior Electrical Design Engineer, you’ll lead the design of critical PCBs and subsystems of our products. You will work closely with team members from our hardware, software, and product teams to help us realize our vision of full home autonomy.

If you’re passionate about great design and obsessed with getting the details right, we’d love to talk to you about how you can work with us to pioneer innovations in the home robotics space.

What you'll do

• Own end-to-end design and manufacturing of critical PCBAs in the system

• Subsystem design and prototyping, component selection, schematic capture, prototype bring-up and debugging, hardware bug tracking, functional verification, and signal characterization

• Board layout of PCB assemblies including SoCs, microcontrollers, rugged connectors, sensors, power devices, etc.

• Electromechanical integration through collaboration with mechanical and firmware engineers

• Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime

• Work with CMs to ensure proper production of PCBAs and subassemblies, perhaps also flying out to be on the line as well

What we look for

• Technical degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent

• 4+ years of professional electrical design experience on a product (preferably a consumer product) that has shipped in high volume

• Previous ECAD experience with tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence, or equivalent

• Experience with common digital protocols including I2C, SPI, USB, MIPI

• Experience with component selection, schematic capture, and PCB layout

• Experience with verifying and validating functional requirements of the electrical systems

• Exposure to regulatory certification processes

• Supply chain management and PCBA contract manufacturing experience

• Comfort with fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don’t shy away from the hard work

• High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work

We'd love to hear from you if...

• You are genuinely motivated to help those around you

• You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones

• You love diagnosing complex technical issues

• You are excited to do great work

Compensation

Base: $160,000 - $240,000 per annum.

Actual Compensation will depend on skills, experience and qualifications. Base Salary is one part of the total compensation package. The role is also eligible for equity through the company’s discretionary equity program, along with a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental and vision coverage access to a 401(k) plan.
