About Nimble

Nimble is an AI robotics company building the autonomous supply chain to power fast, efficient and economical commerce. We’re training robot AGI to power a proprietary generalist supply chain superhumanoid, the first robot in the world capable of performing thousands of tasks across the supply chain. We’ve raised over $220M at over $1B valuation and formed a strategic alliance with Fed Ex to build a national network of autonomous warehouses capable of generating many billions in annual revenue.

We are a hardcore and obsessed team of the world’s best engineers and operators. If you are obsessed with your craft, enjoy a high-intensity and fast moving high impact environment, are super high agency in getting hard things done and want to be part of building the world’s most legendary robotics company at the most pivotal moment in history, we want to work with you.

We are on a mission to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial. We will accomplish this by training robot AGI to invent and build the Autonomous Supply Chain – everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door – powered by generalist superhumanoids.

Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon and our board of directors include famed robotics and AI legends including Fei-Fei Li (Chief Scientist of AI at Google and Director of Stanford’s AI Lab), Marc Raibert (founder of Boston Dynamics), and Sebastian Thrun (founder of GoogleX, Waymo; Stanford Professor and considered the father of autonomous vehicles).

At Nimble, we are committed to building legendary products, a legendary team, and a legendary legacy. Join us and become part of an ambitious, humble, and resourceful culture where your work will leave a lasting impact on the future of robotics and commerce.

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will design motor controller boards and power distribution boards for our robotic platforms. You will own the work from architecture and component selection through validation and production. You will work with mechanical, firmware, controls, and software engineers to build hardware that performs under real operating conditions.

• Design motor controller boards, power distribution boards, and other high-power electronics for robotic platforms
• Own power-stage architecture, schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout reviews for MOSFETs, gate drivers, current sensing, protection circuits, and thermal management
• Define grounding, power sequencing, fault handling, and interfaces among batteries, motors, sensors, and compute systems
• Develop drive electronics and interfaces to commutation with control firmware
• Work with firmware, controls, mechanical, and software engineers to integrate and test each system
• Write and run validation plans for efficiency, thermal performance, transient response, fault conditions, EMC/EMI, and environmental limits
• Diagnose power integrity, motor control, thermal, and reliability failures in the lab and on deployed robots
• Take designs through DFM, certification, production testing, and manufacturing ramp
• Drive team’s electrical design best practices

• Bachelor’s, Master’s degree, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 4+ years designing power electronics, motor drives, or high-current…
