What you will do

• Architect end-to-end electrical subsystems for compute and MCU platforms, sensors, power distribution, safety circuitry, and communication buses.
• Own the full PCBA lifecycle from schematics and simulation through Altium layout, board bring-up, validation, and failure analysis.
• Design ruggedized wiring harnesses, connectors, and electronics for vibration, shock, corrosion, temperature extremes, and electrically noisy environments.
• Develop automated manufacturing, design-validation, and field-diagnostic test systems, including firmware-driven tests.
• Define electrical interfaces and failure behaviors with autonomy, software, mechanical, safety, OEM, and field engineering teams.
• Scale electrical systems from prototypes to manufacturing and field deployment while driving root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 7+ years of experience designing and delivering production electrical systems.
• Strong experience with schematic design, PCB layout, SPICE simulation, signal integrity, power budgeting, and thermal considerations.
• Hands-on laboratory validation and debugging using oscilloscopes, DMMs, logic analyzers, and signal analyzers.
• Experience with CAN, UART, Ethernet, and other communication protocols, plus harness design and ruggedized connectors.
• Experience debugging EMI/EMC issues and delivering reliable, fault-tolerant systems in cross-functional environments.

Nice to have

• Experience in robotics, autonomy, automotive, off-road machinery, or other ruggedized systems.
• Experience with MCU firmware, power electronics, DC-DC conversion, load management, or battery systems.
• Experience designing to IEC 61508, ISO 26262, ISO 15998, ISO 10218, or other functional safety standards.
• Experience scaling designs from prototype to manufacturing and field deployment.

Culture & Benefits

• High-impact ownership across an autonomy and heavy-equipment robotics product.
• Fast iteration, deep debugging, and a focus on quality, safety, and reliability.
• Collaboration with software, autonomy, hardware, mechanical, and robotics engineers.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), life insurance, gourmet food, and other perks.
• Travel opportunities to customer jobsites across the U.S., Australia, Europe, Africa, South America, and other regions.
