Electrical Engineer

As a Senior Electrical Engineer at Carnegie Robotics, you will be responsible for the design, analysis, build, testing, and troubleshooting of complex robotics, autonomy, and vision systems that must survive in extreme environments. Your role will involve developing printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) for custom camera systems, integrating custom electronics with commercial off the shelf (COTS) hardware, and supporting product manufacturing. You will work on a range of applications including custom designed electronics, autonomous vehicle integration, after-market autonomy upgrades, and the integration of perception sensors. Strong engineering rigor, deep theoretical knowledge, analysis, and testing are essential for success in this position. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and be supported by a Technical Program Manager and other experts in Mechanical, Systems, and Software Engineering.
