About the Job

Requirements

A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field is required.
Strong experience with schematic design and printed circuit board development is required.
Knowledge of motor drivers, power electronics, and sensor interfaces is required.
Experience with communication protocols including UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and Ethernet/UDP is required.
Hands-on debugging skills using an oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and multimeter are required.
Understanding of embedded systems constraints and real-time hardware behavior is required.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and validate the electrical systems of a humanoid robot platform, including power distribution, motor control electronics, sensor interfaces, and communication networks, and ensure robust integration with embedded firmware and the ROS2-based software stack.
Shape the robot’s electrical architecture and own design decisions across schematics, printed circuit board design, and system-level integration as the platform scales to new modules and deployments.
Design and review electrical schematics for actuator controllers, sensor boards, and power systems.
Support printed circuit board bring-up, validation, and debugging of custom electronics.
Define and implement power distribution, grounding, and protection strategies.
Integrate force/torque sensors, encoders, and IMUs at the electrical and interface level.
Debug signal integrity, electromagnetic interference, and communication issues involving UART, SPI, I2C, and CAN.
Support hardware bring-up of new actuator and gripper modules.

Desired Qualifications

Experience designing electronics for robotics or motion control systems.
Familiarity with servo and motor control platforms such as Dynamixel or ODrive.
Experience with safety, protection circuits, and electromagnetic compatibility/electromagnetic interference considerations.
Exposure to ROS2-based robotic systems.
