• Experience in developing functional specifications, design verification plans and functional test procedures
• Strong PCB design and layout skills (Altium, KiCad, or similar) with an understanding of high-power circuits, signal integrity, and thermal constraints
• Experience with lithium-ion battery systems, BMS hardware/software, and power distribution architectures
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills, including experience with oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and motor test benches
• Proficiency with embedded system interfaces (FDCAN, SPI, I2C, RS485, USB) and experience working with STM32 microcontrollers
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation techniques and compliance standards for industrial or robotics systems
• Experience working in robotics, automotive, aerospace, or other real-time electromechanical systems

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent
• Experience working with interdisciplinary teams to execute product design from concept to production
• Experience with the project management of technical projects
• Previous experience in robotics or control systems

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, layout, and validation of PCBs for power distribution, motor drivers, embedded systems, and sensor integration
• Architect and optimize power distribution and battery system to support a robot with high-performance actuators and real-time compute workloads
• Develop and refine our lithium-ion battery system
• Develop high-efficiency system power architecture and power monitoring circuitry to support our robotics platform
• Ensure EMI/EMC compliance, signal integrity, and thermal design best practices for high-reliability electronics in a compact mobile system
