Job description

Senior Electrical Engineer (Autonomous Robotics & 3D Systems)

Compensation: $150,000-$200,000 + Equity

The Mission

We are representing a high-growth, Series B industrial tech startup that is fundamentally redefining how complex hardware is built. Backed by premier Silicon Valley VCs and a global leader in AI computing, this team is developing an autonomous, software-defined factory platform that merges advanced physics with real-time machine learning.

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to design the custom electronics and high-speed control systems that power this large-scale robotic ecosystem. This is a "blank sheet" role for a builder who thrives in technically intense, ambiguous environments.

The Challenge

• Full-Stack Hardware Ownership: Architecture, component selection, schematic capture, and PCB design support for high-performance systems.
• High-Power & High-Speed: Design the electrical backbone for complex systems featuring massive laser arrays, high-speed computer vision, and real-time DAQ.
• Compute-Intensive Systems: Develop hardware interfaces for FPGAs and GPUs where timing, throughput, and reliability are the primary constraints.
• Rapid Prototyping: Own the "bring-up" and validation phase—taking designs from the bench to a production-scale autonomous factory.

The Profile

• Experience: 3–8 years of experience owning the full lifecycle of complex electrical hardware from scratch.
• Background: Proven track record in high-stakes industries: New Space, Robotics, EV, or Semiconductors.
• Technical Skills: Deep proficiency in schematic design, layout, and circuit analysis. Experience with motion control or high-speed data acquisition is highly preferred.
• Mindset: A "low-ego" collaborator who can "build the plane while flying it" alongside world-class mechanical and software teams.
