This is a unique opportunity to join a team building technology with real-world impact. You will work on cutting-edge 100,000-pound autonomous robots and engineer complex systems at the intersection of hardware, software, robotics, and AI.
MissionOwn Teleo's board-level electrical hardware from schematic to production. Take ownership of existing PCB designs, bring them up to a professional standard, and establish the processes and rigor needed to design, validate, and manufacture reliable boards at the pace of a fast-growing startup.
Core Responsibilities- Own the full lifecycle of PCB design: schematic capture, layout, simulation, prototyping, validation, and production release
>- Take ownership of existing board designs - clean up schematics, BOMs, and documentation to a maintainable, professional standard
>- Design power stages, sensor interfaces, high-precision analog I/O, digital I/O, and galvanic isolation circuits
>- Establish and own validation and test practices: bench testing, ESD, load testing, resonance tuning, and whatever else the design demands
>- Manage DFM reviews and own the relationship with contract manufacturers and fab houses
>- Own compliance and EMC testing
>- Collaborate with the embedded firmware team on board bring-up and hardware-software integration
>- Provide high-level systems guidance on cable harnesses and electrical architecture to junior engineers
>
Required Qualifications- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.
>- 5+ years of professional electrical engineering experience with a focus on PCB design through production
>- Strong analog and digital circuit design fundamentals
>- Experience designing low-voltage power circuits with high-current stages
>- Proficient in KiCad (schematic capture, layout, BOM management)
>- Hands-on validation and debugging: oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, load testing
>- Experience managing contract manufacturers and fab houses through DFM and production
>- Demonstrated ability to own board designs end to end with minimal oversight
>- Comfortable working on-site in Palo Alto, CA
>
Strong Experience With- Mixed-signal design: high-precision analog, sensor interfaces, galvanic isolation
>- DFM practices: panelization, tolerancing, component selection for manufacturability
>- Compliance and EMC testing processes
>- Rapid iteration: comfortable spinning boards quickly without sacrificing quality
>- Maintaining clean, well-documented schematics and BOMs across multiple active designs
>
Nice to Have- Experience in automotive, heavy equipment, or ruggedized industrial environments
>- Familiarity with embedded firmware concepts - enough to be a strong partner during bring-up
>- Experience establishing electrical engineering standards and validation processes on a small team
>- Early-stage startup experience - comfortable with broad ownership and fast iteration
>
$160,000 - $220,000 a year
