About The Position

As a Senior/Staff Electrical Engineer, you will own the end-to-end design of complex electrical subsystems — from requirements capture through schematic, layout, prototyping, and production bring-up — on a first-of-its-kind autonomous robotic pharmacy dispensing system. This role carries significant technical ownership and offers the opportunity to shape both the hardware architecture and the team's engineering standards in a regulated pharmaceutical environment.

Requirements

• 5–10+ years of electrical engineering experience, with hands-on design work across multiple product development cycles and demonstrated technical leadership on multi-board or multi-subsystem products
• Track record of owning complex electrical subsystems end-to-end — from requirements through schematic, layout, prototyping, and production bring-up
• Experience designing and validating circuits for power distribution, motor control, sensing, or communication interfaces in electromechanical systems
• Deep expertise in one or more core domains — power electronics, motor drives, sensor interfaces, or mixed-signal design — with working breadth across the others
• Proficiency in schematic capture, PCB layout, and BOM management using industry-standard tools such as Altium, KiCad, or equivalent
• Strong debugging and bench skills, with the ability to bring up new boards, characterize performance, and drive issues to root cause across signal integrity, thermal, and EMC challenges
• Experience driving design reviews and contributing to team-wide standards for schematics, layout, documentation, and test coverage
• Familiarity with compliance testing and design practices related to EMC, safety, or environmental standards
• Strong documentation habits, with an emphasis on capturing design rationale, test results, and lessons learned

Responsibilities

• Own the full lifecycle of electrical subsystem design across power distribution, motor drive, sensor interfaces, and mixed-signal circuits — from initial requirements through schematic, layout, prototyping, and production bring-up
• Create and maintain schematics, PCB layouts, and bills of materials, following established design and release processes while driving improvements to team-wide standards for documentation, layout, and test coverage
• Evaluate and qualify sensors, actuators, and power management components for use in a regulated pharmaceutical environment
• Define and execute testing specifications across subsystems to ensure each component meets intended functionality and safe operating conditions; document findings, root causes, and lessons learned to support continuous improvement
• Investigate and resolve challenging hardware issues across prototyping and production, including signal integrity, thermal, and EMC problems
• Collaborate with firmware and mechanical engineers to co-develop interface definitions, connector pinouts, harness routing, and integration test plans that simplify system integration
• Apply DFM, DFT, and supply chain considerations to ensure designs are production-ready from the start

Benefits

• Early-stage equity in automated pharmacy dispensing at scale
• Direct impact — your work helps put medication safely in patients’ hands
• Small team, zero bureaucracy, high trust
• Hard problems: distributed systems, safety-critical software, regulatory compliance, real-time hardware integration
• Competitive salary
• Meaningful early-stage equity
• Health
• 401(k)
• unlimited PTO
