hirify.global develops general-purpose robotic intelligence using data-driven machine learning to help robots adapt to unseen scenarios.

What you will do

• Own electrical system integration across robotic platforms from concept through production.
• Define grounding, bonding, shielding, filtering, cable, and signal-integrity strategies.
• Identify and mitigate EMC risks, and debug hardware using scopes, spectrum analyzers, probes, LISNs, network analyzers, and other lab equipment.
• Collaborate with firmware and hardware engineers on motor drivers, power electronics, and sensor electronics.
• Integrate IMUs, encoders, hall sensors, and temperature sensors at the PCB level.
• Make system-level tradeoffs across performance, risk, cost, reliability, manufacturability, and schedule while partnering with multidisciplinary teams and external labs.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field, plus relevant experience.
• Hands-on experience taking electrical hardware from concept through validation and production.
• Experience with EMC/EMI design, debugging, and testing on complex hardware.
• Strong knowledge of grounding, shielding, filtering, signal integrity, power integrity, and PCB design.
• Proficiency in power electronics, including motor drives, switching power, high-current DC systems, and battery management.
• Experience with sensor integration, RF systems, antenna integration, impedance control, communication interfaces, laboratory debugging, and rapid test-fixture development.

Nice to have

• Experience working across electrical, mechanical, firmware, controls, systems, and manufacturing disciplines.
• Strong judgment and the ability to make decisions with incomplete or changing requirements.

Culture & Benefits
