Senior Electrical Engineer - Robotics

About the role

This is a highly visible, hands-on engineering position where you'll work across the full product lifecycle—from early concept and prototyping through production release and field deployment. You'll collaborate with mechanical, software, controls, and systems engineering teams to develop robust electrical architectures that power cutting-edge robotic products.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop electrical architectures for advanced robotic and automation systems
• Create schematics, PCB layouts, cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, and electrical documentation
• Design power distribution systems, embedded control hardware, and motor drive interfaces
• Select and integrate sensors, actuators, embedded controllers, and communication networks
• Collaborate with software, controls, mechanical, and systems engineers to develop fully integrated robotic platforms
• Prototype, validate, and troubleshoot electrical hardware throughout the development lifecycle
• Support manufacturing by creating production documentation, BOMs, ECOs, and test procedures
• Perform root cause analysis on complex hardware issues during development and field deployments
• Lead design reviews and establish electrical engineering best practices
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to long-term platform architecture decisions

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or a related discipline
• 7+ years of professional experience designing electrical systems for robotics, industrial automation, or complex electromechanical products
• Strong background in analog and digital circuit design
• Expertise designing multi-board embedded systems and electrical architectures
• Experience designing motor control systems, power distribution, and actuator interfaces
• Experience with industrial communication protocols including CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, SPI, UART, I2C, or RS-485
• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB design tools such as Altium Designer, OrCAD, KiCad, or equivalent
• Experience debugging complex electrical systems using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, and laboratory equipment
• Strong understanding of EMI/EMC, grounding, signal integrity, and electrical safety principles
