• Comfortable debugging electrical systems under load and working with ruggedized, vibration- and shock-tolerant components.
• Able to own the full electrical stack from concept through field testing and integrate tightly with mechanical and hydraulic subsystems.

Responsibilities

• End-to-end ownership of motor design, power distribution, and machine control systems.
• Development and tuning of motor controllers, actuators, drive logic, and safety interlocks.
• Production of detailed schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness layouts.
• Selection of motors, drivers, batteries/power supplies, and all electrical components.
• Build and test control loops, sensor interfaces, and low-level firmware.
