About the Job

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field is required.
Demonstrated experience designing, building, and integrating complex electromechanical or robotic systems.
A strong hands-on background in wiring harness design, electrical integration, and system assembly is required.
Experience selecting and integrating sensors, actuators, and compute platforms is required.
Comfort working hands-on with mechanical systems, vehicles, or industrial equipment is required.
Ability to troubleshoot system-level issues spanning hardware, controls, and integration is required.
The candidate should be self-directed and demonstrate ownership, accountability, and follow-through.

Responsibilities

Own the integration and execution of mechatronic robotic systems, including computers, sensors, wiring harnesses, control systems, and wireless networks.
Translate system requirements, model-based systems engineering diagrams, and interfaces into practical, buildable hardware solutions in collaboration with the engineering team.
Make and document system-level design tradeoffs related to power, compute, sensing, packaging, and safety.
Design and implement electrical architectures, wiring schematics, cable layouts, and power distribution solutions.
Select, integrate, and bring up control systems and autonomous sensing platforms.
Integrate industrial automation technologies such as hydraulic systems, robotic arms, motion control, cooling, and safety systems.
Design and support electronics packaging and enclosures for rugged, off-highway, and field environments.
Build and modify hardware through hands-on prototyping and fabrication using shop tools such as mills, drills, and welders.
Drive system-level debugging and troubleshooting across electrical, mechanical, and software domains.
Identify, manage, and mitigate integration risks throughout development.
Execute and support integration testing, verification, validation, and field testing efforts.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with autonomous or unmanned vehicle systems operating in real-world environments.
Familiarity with industrial automation systems, including hydraulics, servos, motion control, and safety systems.
Familiarity with autonomous sensing technologies, including cameras, LiDAR, and point cloud-based systems.
Experience designing ruggedized electronics and wiring for harsh environments.
Understanding of military specifications related to safety, electronics, power, mechanical, and environmental requirements.
Experience supporting systems through prototype iteration, field testing, and transition toward production.
Familiarity with relevant military and industry standards, such as MIL-STD-882, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461/464, and ISO 26262.
Ability to provide technical leadership, set priorities, and guide others during integration activities.

Stratom, Inc. is a mission-driven engineering company building autonomous and unmanned off-highway vehicles and related robotic systems. Our systems operate in demanding real-world environments, where performance, reliability, and engineering discipline are essential. Our work integrates advanced autonomy with rugged industrial hardware designed for austere conditions.

Our work spans the full lifecycle of complex systems, from early concept and prototyping through fielded deployment. With multiple working prototypes in hand, our next major opportunity is transitioning these platforms into production over the coming years to deliver capable systems at scale. We are looking for talented and engineers who want to take ownership of challenging engineering problems and play a key role in bringing multiple platforms into production.
