  • Analyze and troubleshoot electrical issues from bench-level to full humanoid integration.
  • Perform system-level validation and testing under real-world operational conditions.
  • Document designs, test procedures, and compliance with applicable standards (e.g., CE, EMC, FCC).
  • What Kind of Person are We Looking for :

  • Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCad).
  • Strong knowledge of embedded systems, motor drivers, sensors (IMUs, force / torque, vision), and communication protocols (SPI,EtherCAT, CAN, I2C, UART).
  • Experience with power electronics : DC / DC converters, battery systems (Li-ion), power distribution.
  • Solid understanding of EMI / EMC principles, grounding, shielding, and signal integrity.
  • Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and test benches.

  • FPGA design and HDL programming (Verilog / VHDL).
  • Experience with real-time systems and safety-critical hardware.
  • Passion for robotics and human-centered engineering.
  • Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in hardware design, preferably in robotics, automotive, aerospace, or embedded systems.
  • We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.

    The annual compensation is expected to be between $80,000 - $1,000,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
