Senior/Staff Electrical Engineer

Humble Robotics•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Humble Robotics is building an autonomous, zero-emissions hauler that dramatically lowers the cost of freight with groundbreaking vision-based AI, designed for today’s global logistics network. We’re a fast-moving, close-knit team of AV industry veterans and innovative thinkers. We don’t believe culture can be engineered – but when it falls into place, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Progress has never felt so present.

Requirements

BS/MS in Electrical, Computer or Mechatronics Engineering
5+ years relevant hardware engineering experience (or equivalent scope/impact)
Proven ownership of PCB designs shipped into real systems
Strong power design fundamentals (switching regulators, sequencing, protection, thermal/derating)
Comfort with mixed-signal + digital design tradeoffs
Strong debug skills
Expert in Altium Designer (schematic + constraints + outputs; ability to guide and perform layout review)
Eligible to work in the United States

Nice To Haves

Experience in Automotive/ Robotics/ Industrial/ Aerospace strongly preferred.
High-speed design and RF experience
Sensor platform integration experience (Camera, Radar, Lidar, IMU, GNSS), and timesync
Familiarity with DFM/DFT and production test strategy
Embedded firmware competence (C/C++/Python) for board bring-up automation and validation

Responsibilities

Own electrical design of next gen. hardware modules - architecture, schematic + layout prototype bring-up, validation, and transition to robust hardware.
Schematic capture and layout - power tree, high-speed interfaces, protection, grounding strategy, tolerances, derating.
Produce release-quality design packages.
Prototype bring-up and debug: First power-on through stable system operation; instrument, isolate, and resolve issues across power integrity, signal integrity and EMI coupling.
Design for automotive robustness - transients/ESD, brownout behavior, fault containment, harness realities, and vehicle power conditions; incorporate EMC and functional safety considerations appropriate to the platform.
Design Validation: Define bench + vehicle validation plans (stress, thermal, vibration-informed checks, fault injection where relevant).
Own PCB fab/assembly engagement, component selection strategy, alternates, DFM/DFT reviews, and build/test documentation; drive issues to closure through builds.
Unblock integration across teams, and drive design reviews and root-cause for complex failures.
Partner with firmware, autonomy, and systems to debug end-to-end issues; set best practices for bring-up, lab workflows, and design reviews
