Electronic Engineer - Logistics

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for the end-to-end design and development of electrical systems for our robotic solutions.

Schematic capture and PCB layout (artwork) using Altium

Selection of cables, connectors and other components; harness design; and planning and review of in-machine routing (layout)

Development of control circuits for motor control (coreless DC/BLDC) and actuators (solenoids, compressors, etc.)

Circuit design for communication interfaces (CAN-FD, USB, ADC, SPI, etc.)

Coordination with PCB manufacturers, arranging manufacturing, and managing prototyping and mass-production processes

Verification, testing and troubleshooting on physical hardware

(As needed) Implementation of simple firmware for debugging and verification (STM32/Arm Cortex, etc.)

Why This Role Is Exciting

We provide robotic solutions for the logistics industry, and as our business expands, development projects for our next-generation machines are now in full swing. To improve the reliability and performance of robots operating in mission-critical environments, we are looking for a core member to anchor our electrical design.

1. Build the “brain and nervous system” of cutting-edge robots from scratch

You will design the electrical systems for our proprietary logistics robots. Rather than replacing existing designs, you will work on new and next-generation development, with the opportunity to lead the architecture of the entire electrical system — from PCB design and motor control to high-power systems (high voltage/high current) and harness routing.

2. Real hardware that moves — not just work “on screen”

Beyond circuit design in Altium, you will be involved end to end in integration into the actual machine, harness layout review, and evaluation and debugging. There is nothing quite like the moment a large robot or mechanical system starts moving smoothly on boards and circuits you designed yourself.

3. High autonomy and fast decision-making

Instead of waiting for detailed instructions from management, you will draw on your experience and expertise to decide on the optimal design approaches and component choices (CAN-FD, STM32, connectors, etc.) yourself. Your ideas and technical approaches are reflected directly in the product.

4. Technical depth from prototype through mass production and quality improvement

This role goes beyond building “prototypes that work.” You will negotiate with manufacturing vendors with mass production in mind and be involved in the safety design and reliability evaluation of control panels, allowing you to grow your overall value as a hardware engineer.
