Electrical Engineer, Robotics

Boston, MA – Full time

About Ndimensions Labs

At Ndimensions, we're inventing the infrastructure for next-generation robotics AI systems. Our robots require world-class electronics and hardware to operate reliably in real-world environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop custom PCBs for robotics applications, including power systems, sensor interfaces, motor drivers, and communication buses.
• Own the full board design lifecycle: schematic capture, layout, prototyping, bring-up, and validation.
• Use CAD tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad, Eagle) to create production-quality board designs with proper DFM considerations.
• Develop and execute test plans for electrical subsystems, including functional testing, signal integrity analysis, and environmental qualification.
• Manage the transition from prototype to production, including vendor coordination, BOM management, and manufacturing oversight.
• Collaborate with mechanical and firmware engineers to ensure seamless integration of electronics into robotic assemblies.
• Troubleshoot and debug electrical issues across the full stack, from component-level failures to system-level integration problems.

Requirements

• 4-5 years of professional experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on custom PCB design and development.
• Proven experience designing multi-layer PCBs for mixed-signal, power, and high-speed digital applications.
• Strong proficiency with PCB CAD tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, or Eagle.
• Hands-on experience with board bring-up, testing, and validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment.
• Experience managing production pipelines, including working with contract manufacturers, managing BOMs, and overseeing quality control.
• Solid understanding of power electronics, analog/digital circuit design, and embedded systems interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN).
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

Skills

• Experience with robotics-specific electronics (motor controllers, IMUs, force/torque sensors, LIDAR interfaces).
• Familiarity with EMC/EMI compliance testing and design for certification.
• Experience with FPGA design or embedded firmware development.
• Prior work in a startup or fast-paced hardware prototyping environment.
