Electrical Engineer, Level I

Verustruct is developing a suite of robotic construction technologies to automate the building of affordable, sustainable, safe, and aesthetically appealing housing. The company’s mission is to help close the U.S. housing gap of 4.5 million homes by transforming how residential structures are designed and built. Verustruct focuses on integrating advanced robotics, automation, and novel construction methods into practical, scalable solutions. Team members collaborate across disciplines to bring next-generation construction systems from concept to field deployment, with a strong emphasis on real-world impact and long-term sustainability.

As an Electrical Engineer, Level I, you will help design, build, and program the electronics at the core of Verustruct's robotic construction platform. Working closely with experienced electrical, mechanical, and robotics engineers, you will contribute across the full electronics-development cycle, including schematic capture, PCB layout, harness design, board bring-up, embedded firmware, motor and sensor integration, testing, failure investigation, and design iteration.

In the level I position, you will own well-defined boards, harnesses, and firmware features, and grow toward owning complete electrical subsystems.

This role is designed for an early-career engineer who wants to build real machines, learn quickly, and take on increasing technical ownership as Verustruct advances from full-scale prototypes toward field deployment.

This is a full-time, on-site role based at our headquarters in Torrance, California.

• Design motor-driver, sensor-interface, and power-distribution boards for robotic construction equipment, from schematic and component selection through PCB layout, fabrication, and assembly

• Write and debug embedded C firmware on STM
  32-class microcontrollers for motor control, current sensing, encoder and sensor reading, fault handling, and CAN FD communication
• Design wiring harnesses, connectors, and enclosures that survive a construction-site environment, and document them with wiring diagrams and drawings
• Bring up and validate prototype boards and firmware on the bench with oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and debuggers
• Integrate motors, actuators, encoders, and sensors into the machine and support commissioning of integrated hardware
• Develop test fixtures and scripts, collect data, investigate electrical and firmware failures, and feed findings into the next design iteration
• Collaborate with mechanical, controls, and software teams to integrate electronics and firmware into a coordinated robotic platform
• Maintain clear engineering documentation, participate in design reviews, and contribute to Verustruct's electrical and firmware standards

• Typically suited for candidates with approximately 0-2 years of relevant professional experience, including recent graduates with strong internship, research, competition-team, or project experience developing electrical or electromechanical hardware.
• Candidates should be comfortable carrying well-defined boards, harnesses, and firmware features from requirements through design, build, and validation with guidance from senior engineers, while growing toward independent ownership of subsystems.
• Experience in robotics, industrial automation, aerospace, automotive, heavy machinery, construction equipment, or similarly complex hardware systems is particularly relevant.
• Participation in Baja SAE, Formula SAE, or a similar student engineering competition, particularly on electrical, controls, or powertrain systems is highly relevant.
