Job summary

Humanoid in Massachusetts is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to design and implement electrical systems for our humanoid robotics platform. You’ll work across the full spectrum from circuit design to embedded firmware and lab validation.

You’ll collaborate with mechanical and software teams to ensure seamless integration, with emphasis on high‑speed data paths, power management, and hardware verification. The role is hands‑on and impact‑driven.

Qualifications

• Experience with high‑speed data technologies (PCIe, Ethernet, EtherCAT) in PCB‑based devices and systems.
• Expertise in power regulation and distribution, including short‑circuit protection, switching supplies, and power management.
• Proficiency with PCB design tools (Altium) for schematic capture and layout.
• Embedded programming in C, HDL, and related languages for microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGAs.
• Familiarity with circuit simulation, analysis, and debugging using oscilloscopes, power supplies, and spectrum analyzers.
• Experience with Python, C++, LabVIEW, or MATLAB for automation and testing.
• Knowledge of SolidWorks or similar CAD tools.
• Familiarity with Verilog or VHDL for hardware design and simulation.
• Experience building Linux kernels and modifying/writing device drivers.

Responsibilities

• Design Electrical Systems for Robotics: develop electrical systems powering Humanoid’s robots, focusing on sensors, compute, and power.
• Conduct Circuit Analysis and Debugging: review designs, perform failure analysis, troubleshoot complex systems.
• PCB Design and Schematic Capture: create detailed schematics and PCB layouts using Altium.
• Develop Embedded Firmware: write firmware in C and HDL to program MCUs, DSPs, and FPGAs; test and refine.
• Leverage Linux for Robotics: use Linux command line to configure networks, run software, and test robots.
• Hands‑On Lab Work: use oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, programmable loads, spectrum analyzers to validate designs.
• Collaborate Across Teams: work with mechanical, software, and other teams to integrate electrical with robotics hardware.
