Full Job Description
The Role
We are hiring a Robotics Engineer (Product / Electrical) to design and own end-to-end hardware products at the core of Becoming's platform.
This is not a component role. You will design complete systems - mechanical, electrical, and firmware - and take responsibility for whether they work in the real world.
You may go deepest in one domain, but you must be fluent across all three. No handoffs. No silos.
High agency is required. You will define requirements, make hard tradeoffs, and own outcomes.
What You'll Own
End-to-end ownership of complex, integrated hardware platforms
Multi-layer PCB architecture: schematic capture, layout, grounding strategy, stack-up design, signal integrity, power distribution, EMI mitigation
Mixed-signal board design and low-noise sensing systems
Board bring-up, hardware debugging, and iterative refinement
Firmware for real-time control, monitoring, and fault tolerance
Mechanical integration with attention to thermal, vibration, and environmental constraints
Failure analysis under continuous operation
Reliability engineering and stress testing
Engineering standards, documentation, and scalable build processes
Who You Are
You are someone who:
Operates with high agency - you identify problems, define solutions, and execute
Takes end-to-end ownership of what you build
Brings high energy to complex, ambiguous engineering challenges
Acts with high integrity - you are honest about tradeoffs, risks, and failure modes
Communicates directly and clearly, especially when something won't work
Is self-aware about your strengths and gaps, and proactively fills them
Thinks like a systems integrator, not a narrow specialist
Cares deeply about understanding systems at a first-principles level
Requirements
Engineering degree or equivalent demonstrated depth
Experience architecting and shipping custom PCB-based systems
