About The Position

We're building a helpful robot for every home. We're a small team of engineers, designers, and operators based in San Francisco. Our team comes from Tesla, Cruise, OpenAI, Google, Pixar, and many other great companies. In the past we've shipped to hundreds of millions of users and know what it takes to build amazing products and experiences. Our team is deliberately lean to promote rapid decision making and do away with bureaucracy and hierarchy. Everyone is an IC and is empowered with massive scope, radical ownership, and direct responsibility. We work across the stack with a culture built for rapid iteration and fast execution. You’ll design the high-efficiency power systems that drive our robots end-to-end. This includes Lithium-ion Batteries, fuel gauges, charging circuits, power converters, transient protection, load switches, and everything required to deliver clean, reliable power across the system.

Requirements

• Experience designing and manufacturing rechargeable battery packs in consumer products, e-bikes, or robotics.
• Expert at system-level power architecture and designing power distribution circuits that are robust enough to withstand real world conditions.
• Proven ability to design high-efficiency AC-DC chargers with an understanding of various topologies and their trade-offs.
• Hands-on experience with end-to-end PCB design for power distribution (e-fuses, high/low-side switches, current sensing, grounding strategies).
• Experience designing Li-ion battery fuel gauges, fault protection, and balancing.
• Strong grasp of EMI/EMC design and compliance testing for low-noise, high-density power hardware.
• Experience taking a product through UL or CE testing.
• Skilled in hands-on board bring-up, validation, and debugging.
• Proven ability to ship consumer products at scale, experience working with CMs, and the ability to design for manufacture and test.

Nice To Haves

• Ability to write basic unit test firmware a plus.

Responsibilities

• Own multiple power-related PCB designs from end-to-end across our robot, including performing schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, vendor communication, bring-up and failure analysis.
• Work cross-functionally with other engineers and designers to integrate batteries, chargers, BMS circuitry, and distribution hardware into the product.the broader system.
• Drive EMI/EMC performance, ensure system-wide resilience to back-EMF and current spikes, and thermal integrity across designs.
• Move quickly and independently to iterate on real-world-tested power designs.
