Electrical Engineer

Requirements

• You bring deep, multi-domain hardware expertise, strong technical judgment, and the ability to make high-stakes design decisions under uncertainty
• BS + 8 years of hands-on hardware experience with demonstrated system ownership and technical leadership (MS + 6 years, PhD + 3 years)
• Recognized expert across the electrical engineering domain with deep specialization in critical areas (actuation/mobility, sensors, power/energy management, wireless systems, or safety architectures)
• Expert-level knowledge of emerging technologies and their application potential
• Comprehensive understanding of platform strategy, applications, and technology roadmap
• Deep knowledge of safety-critical system design, environmental hardening, and field reliability
• Experience taking hardware from prototype to production at scale
• Comfortable making critical decisions under significant uncertainty
• Clear communicator who can explain tradeoffs and decisions without ego
• Energized by building teams and developing future technical leaders
• PCB design, schematic capture, and layout (Altium preferred)
• Hands-on board bring-up, debugging, and validation
• ARM processors and microcontrollers
• EMI mitigation, signal integrity, and power system design
• Interfaces such as USB, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, LVDS, and PCIe
• Firmware bring-up and hardware/firmware integration
• Cost optimization, design for manufacturability, and endurance maximization
• (Desirable) Robotics, mobile platforms, or autonomous systems experience
• (Desirable) Sensor integration (cameras, LiDAR, IMU)
• (Desirable) Embedded firmware experience (C/C++, bare-metal or RTOS)
• (Desirable) High-reliability or functional safety design experience (ISO 26262, IEC 61508)
• (Desirable) You've shipped hardware that had to survive outside the lab
• If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply - even if you don't check every box

• We are seeking a Staff Electrical Engineer to define the electrical architecture strategy across our autonomous platforms
• You'll own critical technology decisions that span multiple products and generations - from power and actuation to sensing, compute, and safety systems
• You'll lead flagship development efforts with significant business impact, build key supplier and technology partnerships, and evaluate emerging technologies to drive capability differentiation
• You'll operate with near-complete autonomy, make strategic technical decisions that shape our 2-4 year roadmap, and help build the engineering culture and team around you
• Define electrical architecture strategy across the product portfolio; own critical technology decisions affecting multiple products and generations
• Architect and own electrical systems from concept through production - spanning power, motor control, sensing, communication, and mixed-signal electronics
• Drive cross-functional integration by defining clear electrical requirements and interfaces, aligning constraints, and managing technical tradeoffs across teams. Define electrical requirements and interfaces to drive integration with cross-functional partners, align constraints, and manage technical tradeoffs
• Lead flagship product development efforts, making system-level tradeoffs across performance, reliability, safety, cost, and timeline
• Establish platform architecture strategies and reusable modules organization-wide
• Build and iterate on PCBs: schematic capture, layout, design reviews, bring-up, validation, and manufacturing release
• Design for real-world deployment: signal integrity, power delivery, EMI/EMC, ESD, thermal management, vibration, environmental hardening, manufacturability, and serviceability
• Design with reliability in mind: redundancy architectures, fault detection, graceful degradation, and endurance maximization
• Define or co-develop board and system-level operation with the firmware team
• Evaluate and adopt emerging technologies (solid-state LiDAR, advanced sensors, batteries, edge AI accelerators, next-gen networking) for capability differentiation
• Develop key supplier relationships and technology partnerships for motors, sensors, batteries, and compute platforms
• Resolve conflicts between competing requirements across programs
• Support manufacturing bring-up and work directly with contract manufacturers
• Mentor Senior Engineers and develop their technical leadership; recruit and evaluate engineering talent
• Shape team technical culture, lead critical cross-functional initiatives, and build technical community across the organization
