Senior Electrical Engineer - Dot
About The Position
DoorDash Labs is a team within DoorDash building autonomous delivery robots and other autonomy solutions from the ground up for DoorDash's core delivery platform. If you have a passion for applying autonomy and robotics in a service used by millions of people daily, then we want to talk to you! We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the design and development of the electrical systems for our 4-wheeled autonomous delivery robot. This role is responsible for delivering robust, production-ready hardware across high-speed digital design, PCBAs, RF integration, harnessing, and board-level packaging. This is a deeply technical position for someone who can move seamlessly between system-level thinking and detailed circuit execution.
Requirements
- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
- 7-10+ years of experience designing complex embedded hardware systems.
- Strong expertise in:
- High-speed digital circuit design and layout
- Multi-layer PCB design and stack-up planning
- Signal integrity and power integrity fundamentals
- RF integration and antenna considerations
- Cable harness and interconnect design
- EMI/EMC mitigation
- Experience designing EMC/EMI input and output filters
- Experience taking hardware products from concept to production.
- Experience with mobile or ruggedized systems operating in real-world environments.
- Strong debugging and lab bring-up experience.
- (VNA and Spectrum Analyzer experience is a plus)
Nice To Haves
- Experience in robotics, automotive, aerospace, or industrial automation.
- Familiarity with safety-critical or high-reliability systems.
- Experience with high-voltage battery systems.
- Experience with environmental, vibration, and regulatory testing.
- Background working with contract manufacturers and NPI processes.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop electrical systems for a complex mobile robotic platform from concept through production.
- Lead high-speed digital design efforts (PCIe, MIPI, Ethernet, DDR, multi-gigabit SERDES, etc.).
- Own PCBA development including schematic capture, stack-up definition, layout guidance, impedance control, and design-for-manufacture.
- Drive RF integration (Wi-Fi, LTE/5G, GNSS, Bluetooth, RADAR, and LiDAR), antenna placement, layout constraints, and signal integrity.
- Develop and review cable harness designs, connector selection, grounding strategy, and environmental robustness.
- Collaborate closely with mechanical engineering on board packaging, thermal management, vibration resistance, and environmental sealing.
- Define and implement power distribution architecture, battery interfaces, protection circuits, and system monitoring.
- Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC and regulatory requirements (FCC/CE) (CISPR-25 and FCC Part 15 Class A).
- Support prototype builds and bring-up, debug hardware/firmware interface issues, root-cause failures, and drive corrective actions quickly.
- Establish design standards and perform detailed design reviews across the EE team.
- Work cross-functionally with firmware, robotics, systems, manufacturing, and reliability teams.
