The Role

We're seeking a highly experienced Staff Electrical Engineer to lead the design and lifecycle of electrical systems for our robotic automation products. As a key member of our Hardware Product team, you'll oversee system architecture, mentor engineers, develop test plans, prototype designs, and support initial builds and installations.

Responsibilities
  • Lead the architecture and design of electrical systems for robotic automation products, ensuring reliability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Own the electrical and electronic systems through their life cycle, from conception to volume manufacturing, including design reviews, implementation, and product release.
  • Serve as the technical subject matter expert for electrical and electronic systems, mentoring and guiding engineers on best practices.
  • Develop and execute electrical test plans to validate system performance.
  • Prototype and test electrical systems to assess performance and identify design issues.
  • Ensure design for signal integrity, reduced noise interference, and effective grounding practices for optimal system performance.
  • Write and maintain electrical design standards and documentation, clearly communicating design considerations and trade-offs.
  • Support initial product builds at contract manufacturers (CMs) and early installations at customer facilities, including troubleshooting and training.
Qualifications
  • MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
  • Proven experience leading the development of complex products from conception through design, development, and volume manufacturing.
  • Expertise in circuit and board design, including analog circuits, digital logic, high-speed signals, filtering, high-voltage circuits, component selection, electrical schematics, and PCB layout.
  • Proficiency with electrical simulation and design tools such as MATLAB and SPICE.
  • Skilled in troubleshooting control systems, PCBAs, and electrical system issues.
  • Experience with motors, servo drivers, sensors, communication protocols (EtherCAT, CANBUS, etc.), robot arms, and controllers.
  • Proficiency in power electronics design (motor drives, SMPS, inverters) and battery-powered systems design.
  • Experience collaborating with off-shore subcontractors, vendors, and global contract manufacturers.
  • Familiarity with lab test instruments such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, DC loads, power supplies, and spectrum analyzers.
  • Experience with hardware product certification processes, best design practices for compliance, and standards (FCC, NFPA 79, UL, CE, IEC).
  • Experience with PLM systems (Arena, Agile, Teamcenter) for daily development lifecycle management.
  • Strong communication and technical skills, with the ability to lead and direct the electrical system development efforts autonomously.
  • Capable of managing multiple projects and working with global engineering teams with great attention to detail.
  • Quick learner, able to translate new knowledge into execution autonomously.
