Senior Electrical Engineer

Lumex Talent; El Segundo (CA); On-site; USD 150,000 - 200,000; Full time

Job summary

Lumex Talent is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to shape the hardware backbone for autonomous robotics and 3D systems. This blank-sheet role requires ownership of complex electronics from concept to production, including high-power, high-speed design, FPGA/GPU interfaces, and rapid prototyping with a strong emphasis on reliability.

Ideal candidates bring 3–8 years of experience and a track record in robotics, semiconductors, or related high-stakes industries.

Qualifications

• Own full hardware lifecycle from concept to production-ready designs.
• Design high-power, high-speed electrical backbones for complex robotic systems.
• Develop interfaces for FPGAs and GPUs emphasizing timing and reliability.

Responsibilities

• 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 systems with massive laser arrays, high-speed vision, and real-time DAQ.
• Compute-Intensive Systems: develop hardware interfaces for FPGAs and GPUs where timing and throughput are critical.
• Rapid Prototyping: own bring-up and validation from bench to production-scale autonomous factory.

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.
