Senior Electrical Engineer Verified today
About the Role
As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will contribute to the development, integration, and optimization of industrial automation systems for our cooperative multi-robot platform. You will help shape the electrical backbone of a tightly coordinated robotic system in which multiple robotic arms, mobile platforms, and manufacturing subsystems work together as a unified cell to enable flexible, high-throughput production.
Your focus will be on creating custom electrical hardware, unifying power and data architecture, improving reliability of electrical performance, and simplifying system integration and use.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement robust electrical architectures for robotic arms, AMRs, and supporting manufacturing equipment, while developing custom electrical hardware for reliable and scalable systems across complex robotic platforms
- Lead the design and routing of power across low-voltage and high-current systems, ensuring safe, reliable delivery to motors, sensors, tools, battery systems, and onboard compute systems
- Support the early-stage design and buildout of a custom autonomous mobile robot, helping define and implement the electrical systems required for operation in industrial environments
- Support the design, integration, protection, charging, and monitoring of battery-powered subsystems, particularly for mobile robotic platforms operating in industrial environments
- Contribute to the development of mechatronic structures and subsystem packaging, including electrical mounting, routing, thermal considerations, and integration with mechanical hardware
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including software engineers and system integrators to ensure seamless integration of electrical systems with centralized codebase and manufacturing infrastructure
- Conduct thorough testing and validation to guarantee system functionality and reliability
- Cultivate safety-critical engineering practices and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations
