  • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols such as EtherCAT, CAN, RS-485, Ethernet, or similar.
  • Experience reading and creating schematics, wiring diagrams, and electrical documentation.
  • Strong project management and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical problems in fast-paced development and manufacturing environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with humanoid robotics, industrial robotics, autonomous systems, or other complex electromechanical products.
  • Experience with servo drives, motor controllers, encoders, batteries, and power distribution systems.
  • Experience with PLC programming and industrial automation systems.
  • Experience developing end-of-line test systems, firmware flashing processes, and automated validation tools.
  • Familiarity with manufacturing execution systems (MES), production data systems, and factory automation.
  • Knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Test (DFT), PFMEA, and Lean Manufacturing principles.
  • Experience supporting factory scale-up and high-volume production environments.

Benefits:

  • We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.

Salary:

  • The annual compensation is $165,000+. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, and experience
