Full Job Description
Electrical Hardware Engineer with a strong foundation in PCB design and electrical systems development. You9ll work on the electronics that power mobile robotic welding platforms - from sensor interfaces and motor control to power distribution and embedded communication. This is a role for someone who takes ownership of their designs end to end: from schematic capture through layout, bring-up, and integration into a working system.
What You9ll Do
  • Design and develop PCBs for embedded control, power management, motor drive, and sensor interfacing in robotic systems
  • Own designs from schematic capture through layout, fabrication, assembly, and hardware validation
  • Specify and select components with attention to availability, cost, reliability, and fit within the broader electrical architecture
  • Define and validate electrical interfaces between custom PCBs, off-the-shelf modules, actuators, and sensing hardware
  • Develop and execute hardware test plans; debug boards at the bench and support integration with firmware and software teams
  • Maintain design documentation, schematics, and BOMs in version-controlled workflows
  • Work with contract manufacturers and PCB fabricators to ensure designs are manufacturable and yield-friendly
  • Support field investigations and drive design improvements based on reliability findings
Who You Are

Required
  • 3-6 years of hardware engineering experience in a product development environment
  • Proficiency in a professional EDA tool for schematic capture and PCB layout
  • Experience designing multi-layer PCBs with mixed-signal, power, and high-speed digital content
  • Familiarity with common embedded communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet)
  • Working knowledge of power electronics - motor drive, DC-DC conversion, power sequencing, and protection circuits
  • Ability to bring up and debug hardware independently using standard lab equipment (oscilloscope, DMM, logic analyzer)

Why You9ll Love Working Here
  • Competitive salary and equity in a well-funded, high-growth robotics company
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k)
  • Flexible PTO
  • Hands-on, collaborative culture
