Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.
About the RoleWe are looking for a well-rounded, experienced electrical engineer who enjoys working in an agile environment. We expect our engineers to be self-motivated, willing and capable of making decisions based on incomplete information, and to have a get-it-done attitude.
The main line of work will be to build and integrate machine control systems for our custom manufacturing nodes. Our system is built around a multiprocessor architecture with distinct processors handling networking, general machine control, and specialty controls like vision and motion. Interconnect selection, prototype cabling, and bring-up firmware are also important aspects of the job.
We emphasize modularity for reuse to speed up subsequent builds of nodes with similar needs.
What You'll Do:- Participate in system architecture definition and drive electrical architecture
- Design and build custom electronics for our automated manufacturing systems
- Integrate third-party electronics
- Support the building of engineering fixtures
- Create and maintain component and module libraries for reuse
- Generate manufacturing data and interact with vendors
- Work closely with embedded systems, software, and mechanical engineering teams
What You'll Need:- 5+ years of experience as an Electrical Engineer
- Maker mentality, being hands-on to quickly build, integrate, and test proof of concepts
- Schematic entry, layout, and library management (Altium Designer preferred)
- Excellent bring-up and debugging skills
- Ability to write bring-up code for processors in C/C++ and test scripts in Python
- Strong background in mixed-signal circuit design
- Power electronics design and bring-up experience
- Familiarity with a range of sensors and actuators
- SPICE simulation knowledge
- SMD soldering skills, familiarity with test and measurement equipment
- Good working knowledge of signal integrity, EMI, and ESD handling
- Cable harness design
- Good documentation habits
- A first-principles mindset-questioning assumptions, reframing problems from the ground up, and approaching challenges with foundational understanding rather than relying solely on precedent.
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related field
Bonus Points For:- Motor control experience
- Flex PCB design
- Industrial power distribution experience
- High reliability design
- FPGA skills
- Having worked with contract manufacturers
- Expertise in FMEA
The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
