Full Job Description
As a Hardware Development Engineer, you will design, build, and validate the electronic systems inside our robot platform, spanning everything from compute to power distribution and peripheral interfaces. You will collaborate closely with firmware engineers, mechanical designers, and manufacturing partners to take board designs from concept through production. The ideal candidate is hands-on, comfortable owning a board end-to-end, has a track record of successful board spins and thrives in a fast-paced environment where hardware decisions directly impact robot capability and safety. Key job responsibilities As a Hardware Development Engineer, you will work cross-functionally with electrical, firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to design and deliver the PCBAs that power our robotic platform. We are looking for engineers who are passionate about hands-on board design and thrive owning hardware from schematic through production. - Lead electrical design for PCBAs across the robotic platform - including schematic capture, component selection, architecture, and design considerations for signal integrity, manufacturability, testability, and cost - Develop and review PCB layouts for multi-layer boards with high-speed digital interfaces (PCIe, USB, MIPI, Ethernet, EtherCAT), ensuring impedance control, power integrity, and EMC compliance - Design power distribution systems including DC-DC converters, LDOs, power sequencing, load switches, and protection circuits for a multi-voltage robotic system - Develop, execute, and automate electrical test plans - including board bring-up, functional verification, and production test strategy (boundary scan, ICT, functional test) - Conduct troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and implement design modifications throughout the product lifecycle - including prototype debug, failure analysis, and manufacturing yield improvement - Partner with firmware engineers on hardware-software co-development, peripheral interface defini
