Electrical Engineer

AIM builds autonomy for the real world—robots that move mountains. Our systems combine software, electronics, mechanics, perception, and mission-critical infrastructure into ruggedized machines operating on jobsites around the world. We replace manual, repetitive, and high-risk work with intelligent machines that transform how earthmoving gets done.

About the role

Electrical engineering is a critical part of these systems. Our autonomy hardware includes compute platforms, sensors, power systems, safety mechanisms, and wiring architectures that must perform reliably in dust, mud, vibration, temperature swings, and the realities of field deployment. We build electronics that operate through harsh environments.

You'll help solve electrical engineering challenges such as:

• Integrating sensors, compute platforms, and embedded systems for autonomous machines
• Designing and validating power distribution and protection systems
• Developing reliable wiring and connector solutions for harsh environments
• Supporting safety-critical systems that operate around people and heavy equipment
• Debugging hardware issues that occur in both lab and field environments
• Collaborating across software, autonomy, mechanical, and deployment teams

We'll move quickly, learn from failures, and continuously improve our systems based on real-world performance.
