JOB-1893
A well-funded company developing general-purpose intelligence for robots needs an experienced electrical engineer to take charge of system integration across its robot platforms. You would be the in-house expert on power electronics, electromagnetic compatibility and sensor integration, linking software and firmware to physical motion control.
Scope
- Design and validate motor-drive circuitry, power conversion and sensor electronics for robots
- Set the strategy for filtering, shielding, grounding and cabling, reducing EMC risk at the start of each design
- Bring signals from inertial units, encoders, hall sensors and cameras onto the board
- Troubleshoot EMC and hardware problems yourself in the lab with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers plus other test gear
- Weigh cost against reliability, manufacturability, timeline and performance together with mechanical, firmware and controls colleagues
Qualifications
- Five to twelve years in electrical engineering for robotics or similar motor-driven hardware, with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a related field
- Hands-on ownership of boards from idea to volume production: schematic, layout, bring-up and validation
- Strong EMC/EMI design and debugging, plus signal and power integrity
- Solid PCB layout skills and breadth across high-speed digital, analog sensing and power
- Familiarity with high-speed links such as Ethernet, USB, GMSL and CAN is a plus
- Comfort deciding when specs are still unsettled and explaining tradeoffs across disciplines
On-site in the San Francisco Bay Area, five days a week. Visa transfers considered.
