Senior Electrical Engineer; On-site

At Standard Bots, we're revolutionizing real-world automation by making robotic systems accessible to everyone. Our AI-powered platform enables robots to tackle unprecedented challenges through an intuitive instruction interface, bringing the power of software automation to physical spaces.

We're looking for a seasoned electrical engineer to own the electronics at the heart of our robots: motor controllers, power distribution, compute, camera, battery management, and sensing boards. As a Senior Electrical Engineer you will take designs from concept through production release, work hands-on in the lab, and partner with Mechanical, Software, and Functional Safety engineers to ship hardware that is simple, reliable, and manufacturable at scale.

This role is On-Site 5 days/week at our Glen Cove, NY Factory, where our robots are designed, built, and tested. You'll have a fully equipped electronics lab, production robots, and our manufacturing floor steps from your desk.

• Own the design and validation of PCBAs for critical robot subsystems — motor controllers, power distribution, compute, camera, battery management, and sensing boards — from concept through production release

• Drive key architecture and component decisions through conceptual design, requirements definition, and trade studies, and advise hardware leadership on technical strategy

• Do the hands-on, technically deep work: schematic capture, PCB layout (including high-current power and high-speed digital), board bring-up, test plans, and root-cause debugging in the lab

• Lead design reviews and own the component library, release process, and design checklists that keep the team fast and consistent

• Be the primary technical contact for PCB fabrication and assembly vendors; drive DFM/DFA feedback into designs, and support production issues

• Mentor and advise associate and mid-level engineers on technical and personal advancement

We don't require a background in robotics — but we do require deep, hands-on electronics experience.

We're looking for engineers who are self-driven, optimistic, creative, and resourceful. We have no requirement for a background in robotics, but find most success with engineers excited by the domain and looking to apply deep electronics expertise — from motor drives, power electronics, embedded compute, automotive, or aerospace — to robots they can watch move. Our ideal candidate will be open to spending roughly 60% of their time on design (architecture, schematics, layout) and 40% on lab, integration, and manufacturing support (bring-up, debug, vendor and production issues), with flexibility to sway more toward one or the other depending on current projects and team needs.

• Experience: You have a bachelor's or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering (or a related field) and 5+ years designing, building, and testing PCBAs, including designs you've taken through production release

• EE Depth: You have mastery of power electronics (motor drivers and inverter stages, switch-mode supplies, power sequencing and protection), digital electronics (MCUs, FPGAs, Ethernet, USB, SPI/I2C/UART, signal-integrity fundamentals), and analog electronics (op-amps, filters, ADC/DAC signal chains, precision sensing)

• Tool Fluency: You're proficient in Altium Designer (or similar EDA tools) for schematic capture and multi-layer layout, including constraint-driven routing for high-speed and high-current designs

• Debugging Mastery: You know how to attack a hardware problem with a scope, logic/protocol analyzer, and bench instruments, document what you find, and converge on a fix quickly

• Clarity of Communication: You excel in written and verbal communication — clear…
