Job summary

Verustruct is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to own electrical architecture and subsystem development for our robotic construction platform. You will take systems from requirements and circuit design through board bring-up, embedded integration, machine testing, and field deployment.

Our robots combine motors, actuators, sensors, embedded controllers, and construction processes in a demanding environment.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of electrical product-development experience with ownership of complex electromechanical systems.
• Delivery of custom electronics from design to working hardware and tests.
• Strong fundamentals in analog and digital electronics, power conversion and distribution, motor drives, signal integrity, and circuit protection.
• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB design using KiCad, Altium, or comparable tools.
• Embedded C/C++ experience and the ability to debug hardware and firmware together.
• Experience integrating motors, actuators, encoders, sensors, and communications such as CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART.

Responsibilities

• Define electrical architectures, subsystem requirements, power budgets, and interfaces across robotic formwork, locomotion, material delivery, consolidation, and auxiliary tools.
• Own custom electronics from component selection and schematic capture through PCB layout, fabrication, assembly, bring-up, and revision.
• Develop power-distribution, motor-control, actuator-interface, and sensor-interface hardware, including protection, grounding, shielding, and thermal management.
• Write, review, and debug embedded C/C++ on STM32-class microcontrollers for sensing, actuator control, communications, diagnostics, and fault handling.
• Define and validate CAN/CAN FD network architecture, including topology, termination, interfaces, bus loading, and recovery behavior.
• Design harnesses, connector interfaces, electrical enclosures, and service features for equipment exposed to vibration, dust, moisture, and electrically noisy loads.
• Partner with controls and software engineers to define timing requirements, operating states, watchdog behavior, and responses to failures.
• Develop emergency-stop, interlock, and power-isolation architectures in coordination with system safety requirements.
• Create verification plans, test fixtures, and automated tests for electrical performance and fault response.
• Lead electrical integration and root-cause investigation, using measured evidence to resolve failures.
• Own electrical release documentation and design reviews, support suppliers and manufacturing partners, and mentor junior engineers.
