About the role

Our first robot, LeLamp, explores a new category of consumer robotics where everyday objects become interactive and help us reshape our attachment to technology.
Our goal is to push the frontier of human-robot interaction by making technology more legible, emotionally intuitive, and human-centered.
This role requires regular bench work, including soldering, board rework, signal probing, and direct hardware debugging.

Design and validate PCBAs for robot subsystems including power distribution, motor control, sensing, and compute integration.
Develop early electrical concepts and run trade studies to support architecture decisions.
Own schematics and layout through fabrication and bring-up, iterating quickly based on test results.
Support system integration and cross-boundary debugging between hardware and firmware.
Perform hands-on bench work including soldering small components, rework, probing, and board bring-up by yourself.
Human Computer Lab is a robotics startup and research lab building expressive robots that feel alive and responsive.
You'll work on the electronics at the core of the robot's expressiveness (power, sensing, actuation, and computation) taking designs from schematic to physical board to shipped product.
You'll work closely with the CEO and founding team to design, validate, and iterate on the PCBAs that make up LeLamp's electrical architecture and support integration as the full system comes together.

Have a degree in Electrical Engineering and minimus 3+ years of hands-on experience.
Have experience with power electronics, motor control, sensing systems, or embedded robotics hardware.

expressiveness, responsiveness, and the feeling that the robot is alive.
The early team becomes the DNA of the company.
We set ourselves and others to a high standard, and we respond with kindness when things get hard but keep everyone accountable.
This requires us to be curious, creative, and diverse in our thinking and approach.
We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer and consider all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
Even if you don't meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply.
Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria - we don't want that to be the reason we miss out on great talent.
We are building the foundation for a new generation of robots designed for everyday environments.
We're looking for a hands-on electrical engineer who wants to design and own the hardware that makes LeLamp tick.
