Electrical Engineer - Actuators and Drives

About the role

We’re building humanoid robots that work in homes, performing chores and freeing up people's time. This involves solving robotics, AI, and manufacturing challenges at scale, with a focus on safety. We’ve been working on this since 2014 and are now ready to ship our flagship product, NEO, a home robot designed to move, learn, and work alongside families.

Key Outcomes

• Design and release electrical subsystems that meet performance, reliability, safety, and manufacturing requirements
• Develop robust electrical architectures spanning power, sensing, control, and embedded electronics
• Deliver validated hardware designs from concept through schematic capture, PCB development, bring-up, and production support
• Improve product reliability through strong EMI/ESD design practices, validation testing, and root-cause analysis
• Partner effectively with firmware, controls, manufacturing, and test teams to resolve complex system-level challenges

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 5+ years of professional electrical engineering experience
• Strong electrical engineering fundamentals across analog, digital, and embedded electronics design
• Experience designing, reviewing, debugging, and validating hardware from schematic through PCB bring-up
• Familiarity with power systems, sensors, and embedded electronics
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, and other laboratory equipment
• Understanding of EMI/ESD considerations and robust hardware design practices
• Experience collaborating closely with mechanical, firmware, controls, test, and manufacturing teams

Preferred Skills

• Experience designing motor drive systems, power electronics, and actuator control hardware
• Familiarity with robotic actuators, electromechanical systems, and motion control architectures
• Understanding of motor technologies, encoder systems, current sensing, and control requirements
• Experience with high-power or high-current electronics
• Experience supporting products through manufacturing ramp and volume production
• Knowledge of thermal design considerations and fault management architectures
• Basic familiarity with mechanical CAD workflows and hardware integration processes
