About The Position

Reflex Robotics is seeking a Junior Electrical Engineer to own well-scoped board designs and support the testing, manufacturing, and maintenance of electrical systems across their robots. This role involves designing, bringing up, debugging, and ensuring the reliable build of various electrical components such as teleoperation IMU boards, cable testers, adapter PCBs, or ToF sensor clusters. The engineer will also manage component libraries, supply chain details, work with PCB manufacturers, identify critical single-source components, and ensure the availability of necessary parts for robot production. The company emphasizes curiosity, ownership, and rapid learning, valuing engineers who demonstrate initiative through personal projects or team involvement.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals.
• Experience designing PCBs, through coursework, internships, team projects, or independent work.
• Hands-on board bring-up, testing, debugging, and rework experience.
• Comfortable using lab equipment including oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, and soldering/rework tools.
• Ability to take a clearly defined electrical project from requirements through design, bring-up, and testing.
• Attention to detail and willingness to own the less glamorous parts of hardware development, including documentation, component management, and manufacturing follow-through.
• Ability to learn quickly, take feedback, and work effectively with more experienced engineers.
• Good communication skills.
• BS or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
