Description:

Senior Electrical Engineer – Manufacturing Integration

Our mission is to create advanced robots that can operate in complex environments, reducing human risk in conflict zones and enhancing efficiency in labor-intensive industries.

We are on the lookout for extraordinary engineers and scientists to join our team. Your previous experience in robotics isn't a prerequisite — it's your talent and determination that truly count.

We expect that many of our team members will bring diverse perspectives from various industries and fields. We are looking for individuals with a proven record of exceptional ability and a history of creating things that work.

Our Culture:

We like to be frank and honest about who we are, so that people can decide for themselves if this is a culture they resonate with. Please read more about our culture here

Who should join:

  • You like working in person with a team in San Francisco.
  • You deeply believe that this is the most important mission for humanity and needs to happen yesterday.
  • You are highly technical - regardless of the role you are in. We are building technology; you need to understand technology well.
  • You care about aesthetics and design inside out. If it's not the best product ever, it bothers you, and you need to “fix” it.
  • You don't need someone to motivate you; you get things done.
    • Collaborate with the design and compute teams to refine PCBAs, wiring harnesses, and electrical subsystems for manufacturability, serviceability, and cost efficiency.
    • Lead DFM and DFA reviews for electrical and compute assemblies, ensuring smooth transition from prototype to production.
    • Design, validate, and support electrical test systems, including automated end-of-line test setups and diagnostic fixtures.
    • Drive root‑cause analysis and resolution of electrical integration issues in assembly and production environments.
    • Support layout and design updates for custom compute boards, actuator control boards, and sensor interfaces as needed.
    • Develop and maintain electrical process documentation — schematics, harness routing, test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and safety protocols.
    • Collaborate with mechanical and software teams to validate full electromechanical integration, thermal performance, and EMI/ESD compliance.
    • Lead or support scaling initiatives, including design transfer, process qualification, and vendor validation.
    • Identify and implement automation and data‑driven improvements in test coverage, yield, and line throughput.

Required Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of experience in Electrical Engineering, with a mix of design and manufacturing/test experience (preferably robotics, automotive, or aerospace).
  • Strong understanding of PCB design, wiring harness integration, and embedded systems.
  • Hands‑on experience with test automation, data acquisition systems, and diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.).
  • Knowledge of manufacturing test methodologies, DFM/DFA principles, and electrical safety compliance.
  • Experience working with cross‑functional teams (mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and supply chain) to deliver integrated systems.
  • Ability to debug complex electrical issues at both system and board levels.
  • Familiarity with high‑speed interfaces, power electronics, and thermal management is a strong plus.
  • Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • We provide market‑standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401(k), etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.
  • The annual compensation is expected to be between $150,000 – $1,000,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
