Senior Robotics Hardware Engineer: Power & Drive Systems

dexmate; Colorado; On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Dexmate is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and validate the core electrical subsystems of our general‑purpose robot platforms. You will own power electronics, motor drive circuits, sensor integration, and PCB design — from schematic through bring‑up to production‑ready hardware.

This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership role. You will make architecture decisions, drive subsystems end‑to‑end, and be accountable for hardware that ships on every unit.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in electrical engineering for robotics or related fields.
• PCB design of multi‑layer boards (8+ layers) with high‑speed signals.
• Experience with BMS, power distribution, protection circuits, or DC‑DC conversion.
• Motor drive design experience (BLDC/PMSM/servo) with FOC topology.
• Strong bench skills: oscilloscope, current probe, power analyzer, signal integrity.
• DFM/ DFA and working with contract manufacturers.

Responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end design of power electronics subsystems: battery management, power distribution, protection circuits, and DC‑DC conversion.
• Design motor drive circuits for high‑performance actuation, including FOC/BLDC/PMSM control topologies.
• Design sensor integration circuits for IMUs, encoders, hall‑effect sensors, force/torque sensors, and thermal sensors.
• Create schematics and multi‑layer PCB layouts using industry‑standard EDA tools, owning full cycle from concept through layout review, prototype bring‑up, and production release.
• Perform circuit simulation (LTspice or equivalent) and hardware validation with test equipment.
• Support EMI/EMC design principles and assist with certifications as we move toward production.
• Drive DFM/DFA decisions and coordinate with contract manufacturers.
• Collaborate with firmware and mechanical engineers on interfaces and thermal constraints.
