About the Role
Standard Bots is revolutionizing real-world automation by making robotic systems accessible to everyone. Our AI-powered platform enables robots to tackle unprecedented challenges through an intuitive instruction interface, bringing the power of software automation to physical spaces. We are building Bolt, a mobile manipulation platform, an autonomous mobile base carrying our robot arms. We are looking for a Senior Staff Electrical Engineer to lead the hardware of that base, mechanical and electrical, from concept through a safety-certified fleet.
Responsibilities
- Lead the Bolt hardware team of mechanical and electrical engineers: set the electrical architecture and work with the mechanical team to set the mechanical architecture, plan prototype builds and the test program, run design reviews, and drive decisions to closure with software, safety, manufacturing, and product
- Own the hardware side of AMR safety certification with Functional Safety: the certification plan, the safety functions and their evidence, and the test-lab campaigns for ISO 3691-4, ANSI/RIA R15.08, and UL 3100
- Contribute as an IC where your contributions can best be utilized
- Specify, select, and integrate the battery pack, BMS, and charger from a battery manufacturer: requirements, vendor evaluation, BMS communication (CAN), charge and discharge limits, and pack-level safety and certification evidence
- Drive key architecture and component decisions through requirements and trade studies (pack capacity, drive configuration, peak and regenerative current, thermal)
- Do the hands-on, technically deep work: schematic capture, high-current PCB layout, board bring-up, test plans, and root-cause debugging on the bench and on the robot
- Design for safety and certification: fault analysis, derating, and the power-cutoff paths that functional safety relies on (ISO 13849, IEC 62133 / UL 2271 at the pack interface, EMC)
- Hire, mentor, and grow the hardware team, and be the primary technical contact for battery, charger, drive, and PCBA vendors
Requirements
- Led the hardware of an AMR or comparable mobile robot from a blank page through safety certification and production, and designed and shipped its battery-powered systems
- Knows the failure modes: inrush, regen on a full pack, ground loops, connector and busbar heating, a BMS that trips when you least expect it, and the safety function that fails validation a month before the audit
- Can write a pack specification a vendor can build to and verify what they deliver
- Leads by doing design work alongside the team
- Expects to spend roughly half their time on design/build/troubleshoot and half on team leadership, test, and certification
Skills
- Bachelor's or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering (or related)
- 10+ years designing, building, and testing power systems and PCBAs
- Leading the hardware of an AMR, AGV, or similar mobile robot taken through production
- Taken an AMR or similar mobile machine through third-party safety certification (ISO 3691-4, ANSI/RIA R15.08, UL 3100)
- ISO 13849 safety functions, the evidence package, and test-lab campaigns
- Mastery of high-current distribution, pre-charge and protection circuits, DC/DC conversion, motor-drive power stages, and regen and bus-capacitance behavior
- Working knowledge of BMS behavior (balancing, SoC/SoH, protection limits, CAN interface)
- How to specify, qualify, and integrate a vendor pack and charger
- Working knowledge of IEC 62133 / UL 2271 at the pack interface and EMC (IEC 61000 series) with pre-compliance debugging
- Led engineers through an NPI cycle and made them better
- Give direct, specific design feedback
- Proficient in Altium Designer for schematic capture and multi-layer, high-current layout
- LTspice or similar for simulation
- Python for test automation
- Scope, current probe, thermal camera, and bench instruments
- Document what you find and converge on a fix quickly
- Clear design documentation
- Crisp trade studies
- Design reviews that make your peers better
- A reliable, manufacturable robot that ships beats an elegant one that never leaves the lab
- Thrive in a fast-moving team with changing requirements and tight timelines
- Mechanical design of mobile robots (chassis, drivetrain, battery packaging)
- Custom battery pack design (cell selection, pack mechanical and thermal design, BMS hardware)
- Motor control (FOC, current sensing) and inverter design for traction or robot joints
- Real-time industrial fieldbuses (EtherCAT, CAN/CANopen) and safety fieldbus
- Taking products from prototype through NPI to volume manufacturing — DFM/DFT, test fixtures, yield improvement
