About the role

  • This is a hands-on, high-ownership role.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end design of power electronics subsystems: battery management, power distribution, protection circuits, and DC-DC conversion
  • Design and validate motor drive circuits for high-performance actuation, including FOC/BLDC/PMSM control topologies
  • Design sensor integration circuits for IMUs, encoders, hall-effect sensors, force/torque sensors, and thermal sensors
  • Create schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence Allegro, KiCad), owning the full cycle from concept through layout review, prototype bring-up, and production release
  • Perform circuit simulation (LTspice or equivalent) and systematic hardware validation using oscilloscopes, current probes, power analyzers, and spectrum analyzers
  • Apply EMI/EMC design principles from the start
  • support FCC, CE, and UL certification as we move toward commercial deployment
  • Drive DFM/DFA decisions to ensure designs are manufacturable and testable at production scale
  • Collaborate daily with firmware engineers on hardware/software interfaces and with mechanical engineers on physical integration and thermal constraints
  • Hands-on PCB design experience in industry-standard EDA tools (Altium, Cadence Allegro, KiCad, or equivalent) for complex, multi-layer boards with high-speed digital, power, and mixed-signal on the same design

Requirements

  • 5+ years of electrical engineering experience in robotics, industrial automation, automotive, or consumer electronics - with at least one product shipped to production
  • Proven experience designing power electronics: BMS, power distribution, protection circuits, or DC-DC conversion
  • Ability to read and interpret electronic circuit diagrams
  • Document designs with the rigor required for CM handoff and engineering review

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with embedded firmware at the hardware/firmware boundary - enough to co-debug with firmware engineers without needing translation

Skills

  • Ability to read and interpret electronic circuit diagrams; comfortable integrating sensors and actuators
  • Experience with DFM/DFA and working directly with contract manufacturers
  • oscilloscope, current probe, power analyzer, logic/spectrum analyzer, signal integrity debug
  • Experience taking a product through FCC, CE, or UL certification, including EMC pre-compliance testing
  • Experience with high-density or thermally-constrained PCB layouts
  • Proficiency in Python or similar scripting for test automation
