Electrical Engineer (Robotics)

Location: Boston (Somerville), United States; onsite

Salary: $200K–$350K per year, plus equity

Company

hirify.global builds embodied foundation models, robotics hardware, and AI systems that enable robots to interact intelligently with the physical world.

What you will do

• Own electrical designs from concept and architecture through schematic capture, PCB layout, fabrication, bring-up, validation, and scaled production.
• Design sensing and motor-control electronics for low-latency, high-fidelity robot systems using industrial interfaces such as RS-485 and CAN.
• Develop multi-sensor architectures around highly integrated SoCs and architect power delivery systems using 802.3bt, USB-C PD, and LiPo sources.
• Design battery charging and power-path management within tight power and thermal budgets in compact enclosures.
• Write and debug embedded firmware in C, C++, or Rust on microcontrollers, as well as low-level Linux device drivers for bring-up, testing, and production.
• Drive manufacturing readiness through DFM/DFT, EMC and FCC/CE certification, test-fixture development, supplier coordination, and production ramp.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience shipping complex electronics products.
• Demonstrated ownership of full-stack electrical engineering projects from concept to production.
• Experience with highly integrated SoC-based designs, such as Qualcomm, NXP i.MX, or Ambarella, including high-speed interfaces such as MIPI CSI/DSI, USB 3.x, and PCIe.
• Deep experience in at least one area: imaging systems, including image-sensor selection, ISP tuning, and frame synchronization; or motor control, including BLDC drivers, current sensing, and encoders.
• Ability to work across high-level system architecture and hands-on bench work, including soldering, rework, oscilloscope measurements, timing-delay analysis, and live hardware testing.
• Experience managing external suppliers, design partners, contract manufacturers, or JDMs, including schedule planning, materials sourcing, and production ramp.

Culture & Benefits

• Work onsite with researchers, roboticists, mechanical engineers, software engineers, and company builders.
• Collaborate on robots, embodied AI, sensing, manipulation, and physical-world intelligence.
• Work across in-house resources, external design partners, and contract manufacturers.
• Equal opportunity employer with no discrimination based on legally protected characteristics.
• Compensation includes a $200K–$350K annual salary range and equity.
