Electrical Engineer

Humble Robotics•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Humble Robotics is seeking an Electrical Engineer to own the design of new electronic hardware for autonomous automotive platforms end-to-end—from concept and architecture through schematic, layout, fabrication, and release to manufacturing. This role involves bringing up new and existing PCBs, integrating sensors, compute, and actuators, and working closely with cross-functional teams to debug system-level issues.

Requirements

BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field; 0–5 years relevant experience (including projects/internships).
Hands-on experience bringing up custom PCBs or complex dev boards.
Proficiency with Altium Designer (schematic, basic layout or review, and outputs: BOM, Gerbers, assembly files).
Working knowledge of common peripherals and components: microcontrollers/SoCs, power regulators, basic analog, level shifting.
Practical experience with UART, SPI, I²C, and at least one of USB or CAN.
Comfortable with lab equipment (scope, logic analyzer, DMM, supplies) and reading datasheets/app notes.

Nice To Haves

Experience integrating sensors and compute for robotics or autonomy (e.g., cameras, radar, lidar, IMUs, GNSS).
Basic embedded firmware skills (C/C++) for board bring-up and hardware testing.

Responsibilities

Own the design of new electronic hardware for autonomous automotive platforms end-to-end—from concept and architecture through schematic, layout, fabrication, and release to manufacturing.
Bring up new and existing PCBs: power-on, basic validation, programming, and root-causing board-level issues.
Integrate sensors, compute, and actuators on the bench and final platform; exercise UART, SPI, I²C, USB, CAN, etc.
Scout, buy, and stand up EVKs/dev kits; build simple test setups and report data to inform hardware choices.
Use Altium for schematic capture, small design changes, simple board spins (breakouts/adapters), and layout review.
Plan and run lab tests with oscilloscope, logic analyzer, supplies, and loads; document bring-up steps, test results, and known issues.
Work closely with Mechanical, Firmware and Systems engineers to debug system-level issues that trace back to electronics.
