Electrical Engineer - Power Systems (Robotics)

Location: Shanghai, China; on-site

Company

Developing full-size humanoid robots with an AI-first approach combining perception, reasoning, dexterous manipulation, and autonomous learning.

What you will do

• Design a robust prototype Li-ion battery pack, including cell selection, pack architecture, protection, monitoring, and charging.
• Develop robot-wide high-current power distribution with bus architecture, regeneration handling, fusing, and pre-charge.
• Own the electrical safety chain, including emergency stops, contactors, and fault-disconnection paths.
• Design and route power and communication wiring harnesses through the robot's joints and limbs.
• Define connectors and cabling for high-flex, high-current operation and integrate power domains for Jetson computers, cameras, and IMUs.
• Validate and instrument the power system under real locomotion loads.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 5+ years of system-level electrical design experience in robotics, automotive, drones, or battery-powered machines.
• Hands-on experience with Li-ion battery pack design and BMS integration.
• Experience designing high-current DC power distribution and protection systems.
• Practical harness design experience, including routing, strain relief, and connectors for moving mechanisms.
• Strong laboratory skills and a safety-driven working culture.

Nice to have

• Experience with EV or automotive power systems or legged robotics.
• EMI/EMC mitigation experience in dense electromechanical systems.
• Familiarity with regenerative braking energy handling in motor-driven systems.
• Comfort communicating technical topics in English with international teams.

Culture & Benefits

• Work as part of a small, senior, hands-on robotics engineering team.
• Focus on rapid iteration while developing a next-generation humanoid robot.
• Collaborate with headquarters-based engineering teams and the actuation team.
• Work on-site from the China robotics engineering center.
