Senior PCB Engineer for Autonomous Robotics Hardware

Teleo; Palo Alto (CA); On-site; USD 160,000 - 220,000; Full time

Job summary

Teleo is seeking an experienced PCB Engineer to own Teleo's board-level electrical hardware from schematic to production. You will take ownership of existing PCB designs, establishing processes to design, validate, and manufacture reliable boards at startup speed.

You will collaborate with firmware, manage contract manufacturers, and lead DFM/EMC validation while working on-site in Palo Alto, CA. A strong background in mixed-signal design and high-current power stages is essential.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of professional electrical engineering experience with a focus on PCB design through production.
• Strong analog and digital circuit design fundamentals.
• Experience designing low-voltage power circuits with high-current stages.
• Proficient in KiCad (schematic capture, layout, BOM management).
• Hands-on validation and debugging with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies.
• Experience managing contract manufacturers and fab houses through DFM and production.
• Demonstrated ability to own board designs end to end with minimal oversight.
• Comfortable working on-site in Palo Alto, CA

Responsibilities

• Own the full lifecycle of PCB design: schematic capture, layout, simulation, prototyping, validation, and production release
• Take ownership of existing board designs — clean up schematics, BOMs, and documentation to a maintainable, professional standard
• Design power stages, sensor interfaces, high-precision analog I/O, digital I/O, and galvanic isolation circuits
• Establish and own validation and test practices: bench testing, ESD, load testing, resonance tuning, and whatever else the design demands
• Manage DFM reviews and own the relationship with contract manufacturers and fab houses
• Own compliance and EMC testing
• Collaborate with the embedded firmware team on board bring-up and hardware-software integration
• Provide high-level systems guidance on cable harnesses and electrical architecture to junior engineers
