About The Position

We are seeking a hands-on Electrical Engineer to review the design, drawings, and schematics of the electrical systems for our 4-wheeled autonomous delivery robot. This role is responsible for delivering robust, production-ready hardware across high-speed digital design, PCBAs, RF integration, harnessing, and board-level packaging.
This is a deeply technical position for someone who can move seamlessly between system-level thinking and detailed circuit execution.

Requirements

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• 3-7+ years of experience designing complex embedded hardware systems.
• Strong expertise in: High-speed digital circuit design and layout Multi-layer PCB design and stack-up planning Signal integrity and power integrity fundamentals RF integration and antenna considerations Cable harness and interconnect design EMI/EMC mitigation
• Experience designing EMC/EMI input and output filters
• Experience taking hardware products from concept to production.
• Experience with mobile or ruggedized systems operating in real-world environments.
• Strong debugging and lab bring-up experience. (VNA and Spectrum Analyzer experience is a plus)

Nice To Haves

• Experience in robotics, automotive, aerospace, or industrial automation.
• Familiarity with safety-critical or high-reliability systems.
• Experience with high-voltage battery systems.
• Experience with environmental, vibration, and regulatory testing.
• Background working with contract manufacturers and NPI processes.

Responsibilities

• Develop electrical systems for a complex mobile robotic platform from concept through production.
• Lead high-speed digital design efforts (PCIe, MIPI, Ethernet, DDR, multi-gigabit SERDES, etc.).
• Own PCBA development including schematic capture, stack-up definition, layout guidance, impedance control, and design-for-manufacture.
• Drive RF integration (Wi-Fi, LTE/5G, GNSS, Bluetooth, RADAR, and LiDAR), antenna placement, layout constraints, and signal integrity.
• Develop and review cable harness designs, connector selection, grounding strategy, and environmental robustness.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical engineering on board packaging, thermal management, vibration resistance, and environmental sealing.
• Define and implement power distribution architecture, battery interfaces, protection circuits, and system monitoring.
• Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC and regulatory requirements (FCC/CE) (CISPR-25 and FCC Part 15 Class A).
• Support prototype builds and bring-up, debug hardware/firmware interface issues, root-cause failures, and drive corrective actions quickly.
• Establish design standards and perform detailed design reviews across the EE team.
• Work cross-functionally with firmware, robotics, systems, manufacturing, and reliability teams.

Benefits

• In addition to base salary, the compensation for this role includes opportunities for equity grants.
• DoorDash cares about you and your overall well-being. That’s why we offer a comprehensive benefits package to all regular employees, which includes a 401(k) plan with employer matching, 16 weeks of paid parental leave, wellness benefits, commuter benefits match, paid time off and paid sick leave in compliance with applicable laws (e.g. Colorado Healthy Families and Workplaces Act).
