About the Team

Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in real environments. We design and manufacture our hardware in-house, which means iteration, fabrication, and execution all happen under one roof.

Our robots rely on tightly integrated electronics for sensing, communication, and control. Our electrical engineering work spans board design, cameras, data systems, and the low-voltage infrastructure that supports the robot as a whole — highly cross-functional work, closely tied to mechanical and software development.

About the Role

As an Electrical Engineer at Droyd, you will focus on low-voltage electrical systems and PCB design for our robotic platforms. You will work on custom boards and supporting electronics for sensing, data, and system integration.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys practical board-level design and wants to see their work integrated quickly into real hardware.

This role is based on-site in San Francisco, CA.

In This Role, You’ll

Board & System Design

Design PCBs and low-voltage electrical systems for robotic hardware
Support camera, sensor, and data-related electrical integration
Help define practical electrical architecture for new hardware

Prototyping & Validation

Prototype, test, debug, and iterate on board designs quickly
Contribute to bring-up, validation, and reliability improvements for electrical subsystems

Cross-Functional Integration

Work closely with mechanical and software teams to ensure clean system integration
Communicate design decisions, trade-offs, and test results clearly

Work Environment & Schedule

On-site in San Francisco, CA
Full-time

We’re Looking For Candidates Who

Have experience designing and shipping PCB-based systems
Have strong fundamentals in low-voltage electrical engineering
Are comfortable debugging and validating hardware in the lab
Work well across mechanical, software, and robotics teams
Can move quickly in a prototyping-heavy startup environment

Nice to Have

Experience with robotics or embedded systems
Experience with camera and sensor integration
Experience with high-speed data or communications interfaces

About Droyd

Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that operate in real production environments. We design the hardware, develop the control stack, and generate the data that enables generalist robotics.

If we do this right, robots stop being demos and start being infrastructure.

Join us and help build the systems that make it real.

About the company

Droyd Robotics builds autonomous, precision robotic systems for industrial environments, focusing on autonomous construction such as data center build-out and maintenance. It designs and manufactures hardware in-house, runs the control stack, and collects real-world data to train generalist AI models that guide perception, planning, and action. The robots use low-cost arms and integrated hardware-software systems to operate autonomously in production settings, turning repetitive manual tasks into infrastructure. The company differentiates itself through vertical integration and by creating realistic test environments that mirror real deployments, using data-driven AI to scale autonomous capabilities for enterprise customers.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

Jobs posted in 2026 show 25 open roles and active scaling.
Droyd's site and Ashby postings emphasize autonomous construction and data center buildout.
Equity-backed hiring across robotics, ML, and manufacturing suggests committed product execution.

What critics are saying

No disclosed customers or revenue make a 2026 go-to-market failure existential.
Twenty-five San Francisco hires signal heavy burn before proving repeatable deployments.
Teleoperation-heavy systems face safety, reliability, and liability shocks during real construction jobs.

What makes Droyd Robotics unique

Vertical integration spans hardware, control stack, and training data in San Francisco.
Droyd targets repetitive construction and operations work, not toy demos, in production environments.
Teleoperation plus proprietary fleet data creates a compounding autonomy loop inside deployment.
