Senior Electrical Engineer, Fauna

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the design and development of our power and motion control systems for our robotic systems. This role is an opportunity to lead the long-term architecture of our robotics platform and help build the technical foundation for robots and humans working together.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead the design, layout, and validation of PCBs for power distribution, motor drivers, embedded systems, and sensor integration
• Architect and optimize power distribution and battery system to support a robot with high-performance actuators and real-time compute workloads
• Develop and refine our lithium-ion battery system
• Develop high-efficiency system power architecture and power monitoring circuitry to support our robotics platform
• Ensure EMI/EMC compliance, signal integrity, and thermal design best practices for high-reliability electronics in a compact mobile system
• Collaborate with firmware engineers on real-time control strategies for smooth, compliant motion
• Work with mechanical engineers to integrate thermal management solutions for batteries, high-power electronics, and motors
• Define the electrical architecture for real-time control, networking, and system diagnostics, ensuring high-speed, low-latency communication between actuators, sensors, and compute nodes
• Support bring-up, debugging, and testing of prototype robots, working closely with firmware and mechanical teams
• Work with vendors and contract manufacturers to source high-quality components and oversee the production of key electronics subsystems
• Mentor junior engineers, drive design reviews, and define electrical engineering best practices
