As an Electrical Design Engineer on the Core Platform team, you’ll design and develop the electrical systems that bring advanced humanoid robots to life. This is a hands-on role where you’ll work across the full spectrum of robotics electrical engineering—in particular, sensor integration to embedded firmware development and PCB design. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to create reliable, high-performance electrical solutions that enable our robots to sense, compute, and operate in complex environments.
What You’ll Do
* Design Electrical Systems for Robotics: Develop electrical systems that power and control Humanoid’s advanced robots, with a focus on sensors, compute architecture, and power systems.
* Conduct Circuit Analysis and Debugging: Use strong circuit analysis fundamentals to review electrical designs, conduct failure analysis, and troubleshoot complex electrical systems.
* PCB Design and Schematic Capture: Create detailed schematics and PCB layouts using Altium, ensuring the designs meet the performance, reliability, and manufacturability standards required for robotics.
* Develop Embedded Firmware: Write firmware in C and HDL to program microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGAs, testing and refining embedded designs to ensure optimal performance.
* Leverage Linux for Robotics: Utilize knowledge of command-line Linux to configure networks, run software, and interface with robots for testing and validation.
* Hands-On Lab Work: Use lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, programmable loads, and spectrum analyzers, to validate designs and solve complex electrical engineering challenges.
* Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with mechanical engineers, software developers, and other team members to integrate electrical systems with robotics hardware, ensuring seamless operation and performance.
* BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
* Experience with high-speed data technologies such as PCIE, MIPI, Ethernet and/or other communication protocols in PCB-based devices and systems.
* Experience with sensor integration in embedded systems.
* Proficiency with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium) for schematic capture and layout.
* Familiarity with embedded programming, including C, HDL, and other relevant languages for microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGAs.
* Working knowledge of circuit simulation, analysis, and debugging techniques, including the use of oscilloscopes, power supplies, and spectrum analyzers.
* Experience with Python, C++, LabView, or MATLAB for automation and testing.
* Knowledge of SolidWorks or similar mechanical CAD tools.
* Familiarity with Verilog or VHDL for hardware design and simulation.
* Experience in building Linux kernels and modifying or writing device drivers.
