Robotics Electrical Engineer

Rovex Technologies Corporation•Gainesville, FL

3d•$80,000 - $100,000

About The Position

Rovex is hiring a hands-on, versatile Electrical Engineer to develop its next-generation robotic platforms. The role connects electrical architecture with physical robotic movement and provides ownership of hardware from early-stage prototyping and validation through production. Work includes integrating electrical components into robotic systems, designing schematics and dynamic wiring harnesses for moving structures, selecting components, managing bills of materials, and developing test and calibration systems. The engineer will validate hardware performance, support regulatory compliance and safety validation, and troubleshoot electrical issues in prototype and deployed systems. The role involves close collaboration with mechanical, software, and controls engineers in a fast-paced, high-growth robotics startup.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or a closely related field.
Strong fundamental knowledge of analog and digital circuits, including MOSFETs, op-amps, linear and switching regulators, microcontrollers, and digital protocols such as SPI and I2C.
Proven experience with circuit board design, including specification, architecture, simulation, schematic capture, layout supervision, and manufacturing.
Excellent lab debugging skills using oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and precision soldering.
Experience with rapid prototyping fabrication methods, frequency analysis, and iterating based on test results.
Proficiency in Python, C/C++, or equivalent tools for hardware modeling, data analysis, and testing.
Solid understanding of the hardware development lifecycle, sensor physics, statistics, and lifetime reliability and environmental testing conditions.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to work alongside mechanical, software, and controls engineers.
Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and taking hands-on ownership of hardware systems.
