About the role
- You will be responsible for ensuring the integration of core electrical subsystems - ranging from sensing and compute to control, actuation, and safety-into cohesive, performant, reliable, and scalable systems for our humanoid robots.
- Influence long-term roadmap and product direction by translating user needs, field performance, and R&D findings into architectural evolution.
- Proven experience in designing and delivering complex electromechanical robotic systems into field or commercial deployment from the ideation phase through production.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end robotics electrical system architecture, ensuring scalable, and reliable integration of perception, compute, actuation, control, and safety systems.
- Provide technical direction to other architects as well as across other teams, guiding the design of high-performance robotic subsystems.
- Partner with cross functional teams including software controls and simulation teams to ensure architectural decisions are grounded in system-level modeling, simulation, and performance analysis.
- Collaborate closely with systems engineering, test, and integration teams to ensure architecture translates into testable, traceable requirements.
- Deep understanding of robotic system design and actuator and transmission design, including tradeoffs in mass, structures, fatigue, thermals, actuation, sensing, power, compute, and safety.
Requirements
- Applicants must have current authorization to work in the United States.
- 8+ years of experience in robotics hardware development, including at least 3 years leading electrical product development or as a lead engineer.
- 5+ years experience with electrical system design including Actuator Dev, power systems design, PCBA design, component selection, and layout.
- 3+ years experience with Firmware Development between bare-metal to network integration.
- Familiarity with functional safety concepts, Product FuSa Certifications, FMEA/FMECA, and hazard analysis in robotic systems.
- Hands-on experience with perception pipelines, real-time control systems, and safety-rated architectures.
- Experience with Altium, ERP systems (windchill or similar), Github
- Experience with simulation tools such as MuJoCo, Gazebo, or equivalent, and integrating simulation into system design and validation workflows.
- PhD or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Skills
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience influencing decisions across multidisciplinary teams.
Compensation
- The final salary offered to a successful candidate will be dependent on several factors that may include but are not limited to: job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
Benefits
- Parental Leave: Generous paid parental leave programs.
Visa & Work Authorization
