The RoleWe 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 AreYou 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
- Strong mixed-signal design capability (analog + digital)
- Experience bringing boards from design through bring-up and production iteration
- Demonstrated ownership of hardware systems operating in real-world conditions
- Functional fluency across mechanical and firmware domains
- Ability to operate without rigid process scaffolding or pre-validated platforms
Strong Signals
- Multi-board architectures with distributed control
- Precision sensing systems with low-noise analog front ends
- Robotics or advanced instrumentation platforms
- Systems designed for continuous runtime
- Clear examples of reliability tradeoffs you've made and owned
Benefits- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
- Full benefits
- High-trust, high-ownership environment
- Rapid growth in scope and responsibility
