About the role
- We replace manual, error-prone, high-risk tasks with intelligent machines that reshape how earthmoving is done.
- Electrical engineering is at the heart of these systems.
- Learn more about AIM here. https://aim.vision/about About You You're a builder who thrives at the intersection of electronics, software, and the physical world.
Responsibilities
- What You Will Own
- As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will architect and deliver the electrical systems that enable AIM's autonomous machines to operate safely and reliably in the field.
- Architect & Build Electrical Systems for Autonomy
- Translate product and customer requirements into hardware architectures and detailed electrical designs.
- Design, Implement & Validate Electronics
- Own the full lifecycle of PCBA designs (schematic → simulation → layout → bring-up → validation) using Altium.
- Perform circuit-level simulations (SPICE), signal-integrity analysis, power budgeting, and thermal considerations.
- Validate designs through analog/digital testing, hardware debugging, and failure analysis using oscilloscopes, DMMs, and signal analyzers.
- Design wiring harnesses and connectors suitable for harsh, real-world environments.
- Develop Test, Validation & Safety Mechanisms
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
- 7+ years of experience designing and delivering production electrical systems.
- Strong proficiency in schematic design, PCB layout, and electrical simulation (SPICE).
- Hands-on experience with analog/digital validation, oscilloscopes, DMMs, logic analyzers, and lab bring-up.
- Experience with CAN, UART, Ethernet, and other communication protocols.
- Experience with harness design, ruggedized connectors, and systems for harsh environments.
- Experience debugging EMI/EMC issues and designing for compliance.
- Experience collaborating with mechanical, software, autonomy, and field teams.
- Run your workstreams with the largest degree of autonomy
Nice to have
- Experience in robotics, autonomy, automotive, off-road machinery, or other ruggedized systems.
- Experience with MCU firmware for embedded systems.
- Experience with power electronics, DC-DC conversion, load management, or battery systems.
- Experience designing to functional safety standards (IEC 61508, ISO 26262, ISO 15998, ISO 10218).
- You balance analytical rigor with practical, field-informed engineering judgment.
- You convert ambiguous requirements into clean hardware architectures.
- High-impact ownership across AIM's autonomy stack and global deployments.
- Collaboration with world-class engineers across software, autonomy, hardware, and robotics.

Company info
- Together
- We're going to change how the world builds. Along the way, we'll take on electrical engineering challenges such as:
- Sensor, compute, and MCU integration that survives vibration, shock, and temperature extremes
- Power distribution and protection in unpredictable load and environmental conditions
- We're going to change how the world builds.
- Along the way, we'll take on electrical engineering challenges such as:
- Functional safety and fault-tolerant architectures for safety-critical autonomy systems
- High-reliability wiring harness design for harsh environments, with field service processes designed in
- EMI/EMC performance in electrically noisy heavy-equipment environments
- Integration across mechanical constraints, software interfaces, autonomy pipelines, and OEM platforms
- Designing electronics that work not only in clean labs - but in the elements
- We'll iterate quickly, debug deeply, confront the truth when things don't work, and build mechanisms that scale with quality and reliability.
- If that excites you, you're the kind of Senior Electrical Engineer who will thrive here.
