Senior Electrical Engineer (On-site)

Standard Bots•Glen Cove, NY

12d•$120,000 - $180,000•Onsite

About The Position

We're looking for a seasoned electrical engineer to own the electronics at the heart of our robots: motor controllers, power distribution, compute, camera, battery management, and sensing boards. As a Senior Electrical Engineer you will take designs from concept through production release, work hands-on in the lab, and partner with Mechanical, Software, and Functional Safety engineers to ship hardware that is simple, reliable, and manufacturable at scale.

Requirements

Bachelor's or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering (or a related field)
5+ years designing, building, and testing PCBAs, including designs taken through production release
Mastery of power electronics (motor drivers and inverter stages, switch-mode supplies, power sequencing and protection)
Mastery of digital electronics (MCUs, FPGAs, Ethernet, USB, SPI/I2C/UART, signal-integrity fundamentals)
Mastery of analog electronics (op-amps, filters, ADC/DAC signal chains, precision sensing)
Proficient in Altium Designer (or similar EDA tools) for schematic capture and multi-layer layout, including constraint-driven routing for high-speed and high-current designs
Ability to attack a hardware problem with a scope, logic/protocol analyzer, and bench instruments, document findings, and converge on a fix quickly
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Relentlessly seek user impact and value execution over technical idealism
Prioritize simplicity, reliability, and velocity, and proactively identify opportunities to improve proposed designs or incumbent hardware
Excited by new domains and challenges, and eager to pick up new context to accelerate impact
Excel in dynamic and ambitious environments, working with a diverse group of individuals and backgrounds

Nice To Haves

High-speed design (PCIe Gen1–5, USB3/4, MIPI, GMSL, 10G Ethernet) with high-current power delivery for compute modules
Working understanding of signal and power integrity (impedance control, crosstalk, PDN) and how to mitigate issues
Camera electronics and image sensor integration (MIPI, GMSL, sensor power and clocking)
Dense or space-constrained boards (HDI, flex, rigid-flex) and their fabrication trade-offs
Motor electromagnetic design and motor control (FOC, current sensing, encoder interfaces)
Control systems for robotic manipulation or locomotion
Embedded programming of DSPs, MCUs, and FPGAs
LTspice and Python for simulation, analysis, and test automation
EMC/EMI design and regulatory compliance testing (CE/UL, IEC 61000 series), including pre-compliance debugging
Real-time industrial fieldbuses (EtherCAT, CAN/CANopen, EtherNet/IP)
Safety-rated electronics to ISO 13849 or IEC 61508 (redundant architectures, STO, safety fieldbus)
Taking products from prototype through NPI to volume manufacturing — DFM/DFT, test fixtures, yield improvement

Responsibilities

Own the design and validation of PCBAs for critical robot subsystems — motor controllers, power distribution, compute, camera, battery management, and sensing boards — from concept through production release
Drive key architecture and component decisions through conceptual design, requirements definition, and trade studies, and advise hardware leadership on technical strategy
Do the hands-on, technically deep work: schematic capture, PCB layout (including high-current power and high-speed digital), board bring-up, test plans, and root-cause debugging in the lab
Lead design reviews and own the component library, release process, and design checklists that keep the team fast and consistent
Be the primary technical contact for PCB fabrication and assembly vendors; drive DFM/DFA feedback into designs, and support production issues
Mentor and advise associate and mid-level engineers on technical and personal advancement
