About the Role

A fast-growing robotics startup building rugged, multi-mission Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) for hazardous environments is seeking an Electrical Engineer to design and own the electrical backbone of their robots. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role within a small, high-caliber team, requiring close collaboration across disciplines to deliver field-ready systems.

Responsibilities

• Design analog and digital circuits including power regulation, signal conditioning, and sensor interfaces.
• Own full PCB development — schematic capture, layout, and bring-up.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical and software engineers to ensure reliable system integration.
• Troubleshoot and debug system-level electrical issues across hardware and software boundaries.
• Define and maintain wiring diagrams, harnessing, grounding schemes, and EMI/EMC strategies.
• Support sensor selection and integration across modalities: thermal, gas, visual, RF, and more.
• Run and interpret tests for thermal load, EMI, and mechanical ruggedness.
• Design and fabricate cable harnesses and enclosures optimized for field reliability.
• Run SPICE simulations for analog validation, noise analysis, and circuit stability.
• Contribute to design reviews and maintain clear documentation for design decisions.
• Help establish internal electrical standards and test infrastructure for future product iterations.
• Engage directly with end users as needed to inform engineering direction on specific features.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on electrical design experience for robotics or embedded systems, covering analog/digital circuits, power distribution, and sensors.
• Experience with embedded systems development, board bring-up, and debugging.
• Experience designing robot bus and wiring harness systems, including full harness development.
• Strong cross-functional fundamentals — comfortable working across hardware, software, and mechanical teams.
• Hands-on soldering, lab assembly of boards, and wiring harness assembly.
• Sensor integration experience on robotics platforms.
• Experience with thermal, EMI, and vibration testing and debugging in robotics hardware.
