Job description

• We are seeking Senior Level Electrical Engineer with degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

What you'll do

• O wn electrical designs from concept through production — spanning power, motor control, sensing, communication, and mixed-signal electronics for robotics platform.
• Generate electrical schematics / layouts and bring-up power, digital and mixed-signal printed circuit board assemblies, including but not limited to, main logic boards (MLBs), control boards, test and characterization boards (SoCs, FPGAs, analog front ends, testing ASICs, multi-chip packages), interface boards for high-speed video and networking connections to NVIDIA Jetson and Thor platforms.
• Collaborate across diverse teams to resolve cross-functional issues including those related to architecture (performance, power consumption, thermal behavior), production (quality, failure analysis, manufacturing, cost), compliance (safety, reliability, regulatory, environmental) and overall system integration
• Design for volume manufacturing and support factory engineers from prototyping to product launch.
• D evelop engineering test plans and methodologies for in-circuit and functional testing.
• Validate power and signal integrity in laboratory settings, ensuring alignment with design specifications, identify design issues and propose corrective actions.
• Ability to support multiple projects concurrently, ensuring timely completion of design and validation tasks.

Required Qualifications

• A bachelor's degree with 8 years of experience
• Proficiency with Altium 365, Cadence Orcad, Allegro, PLM tools such as Arena and Component Management database
• Recognized expert across the electrical engineering domain with deep specialization in critical areas involving SoCs, camera, sensors, power/energy management architectures and high-speed interfaces such as USB 3.1 Gen 2, LPDDR4/4x, MIPI, 10G/25G Ethernet and PCIe Gen 2/3
• Drive cost optimization, design for test, design for manufacturability, and endurance maximization
• Hands-on with PCB layout of power distribution network (PDN), analog and digital signals accounting for system-level timing, loss budget including silicon, package and board impairments
• Experience with lab measurements, debugging, and SI correlations using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzer, VNA and TDR
• Fluent in English communication, able to collaborate with teammates in different time zones
• Ability to travel internationally as needed
