Rhoda Ai Robotics Engineer

At Rhoda AI, we're building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design.

We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.

You will own the electronics that sense and drive the hand: motor-control boards, current sensing, and the low-latency signal chain that makes teleoperation feel immediate. You will work in tightly constrained, hand-scale volumes.

• Own schematic design and board layout for the hand system's electronics
• Develop motor-control electronics, including drive stages and current sensing for torque and grasp-force estimation
• Minimize latency through the sensing-to-actuation signal chain — teleoperation fidelity depends on it
• Design sensing, harnessing, and interconnects within severely constrained hand-scale volumes
• Support board bring-up, debug, and validation through rapid prototype iterations

• Expert PCB layout skills, including dense boards in constrained, odd form factors
• Hands-on experience with motor-control electronics, including drive stages and current sensing
• Deep understanding of signal latency and its impact on closed-loop control and teleoperation
• 5+ years of complex EE design and EE systems experience

• Experience with encoders and tactile or force sensing
• EMI/EMC mitigation experience in compact motor-drive systems
• Comfort collaborating with firmware engineers on board bring-up
