Electrical Engineer, Fauna

Description

We are looking for a Electrical Engineer to lead the design and development of our power and motion control systems for our robotic systems. This role is an opportunity to lead the long‑term architecture of our robotics platform and help build the technical foundation for robots and humans working together.

• Lead the design, layout, and validation of PCBs for power distribution, motor drivers, embedded systems, and sensor integration
• Architect and optimize power distribution and battery system to support a robot with high‑performance actuators and real‑time compute workloads
• Develop and refine our lithium‑ion battery system
• Develop high‑efficiency system power architecture and power monitoring circuitry to support our robotics platform
• Ensure EMI/EMC compliance, signal integrity, and thermal design best practices for high‑reliability electronics in a compact mobile system
• Collaborate with firmware engineers on real‑time control strategies for smooth, compliant motion
• Work with mechanical engineers to integrate thermal management solutions for batteries, high‑power electronics, and motors
• Define the electrical architecture for real‑time control, networking, and system diagnostics, ensuring high‑speed, low‑latency communication between actuators, sensors, and compute nodes
• Support bring‑up, debugging, and testing of prototype robots, working closely with firmware and mechanical teams
• Work with vendors and contract manufacturers to source high‑quality components and oversee the production of key electronics subsystems
• Mentor junior engineers, drive design reviews, and define electrical engineering best practices

If you care about making robotics real for everyone and building systems that are as delightful as they are capable, we’re interested in hearing from you.
