Electrical Design Engineer

Mind Robotics • Palo Alto, CA

1d

About The Position

This role involves designing and developing complex electrical systems, including power distribution, sensor integration, and motor drive systems. The engineer will execute full-cycle PCB development, from schematic capture to generating manufacturing files. They will also assemble, test, and debug prototypes, and collaborate with firmware and mechanical engineers. Developing specifications and test plans, and interfacing with suppliers are also key aspects of the role.

Requirements

• Technical degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
• 5+ years of experience (or equivalent "hard tech" projects) building complex electromechanical systems and sensors
• Deep understanding of DC-DC converters, EMI/EMC mitigation, and standard communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN bus, UART).
• Experience with hardware validation cycles, debug and measurement methods
• Experience with wire harnesses, cabling & connectors.
• Experience designing for volume processes and working with contract manufacturers
• Comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop complex electrical systems, including power distribution, sensor integration, and motor drive systems.
• Execute full-cycle PCB development—schematic capture, component selection, multi-layer layout, and manufacturing file generation (Altium, KiCad, or OrCAD).
• Assemble, test, and debug initial prototypes.
• Work closely with firmware and mechanical engineers to define connectors, pinouts, and physical constraints.
• Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime.
• Interface with PCB fabricators and component suppliers to ensure timely delivery and DFM.
