What Kind of Person We Are Looking For:

  • Collaborate with the design and compute teams to refine PCBAs, wiring harnesses, and electrical subsystems for manufacturability, serviceability, and cost efficiency.
  • Lead DFM and DFA reviews for electrical and compute assemblies, ensuring smooth transition from prototype to production.
  • Design, validate, and support electrical test systems, including automated end-of-line test setups and diagnostic fixtures.
  • Drive root-cause analysis and resolution of electrical integration issues in assembly and production environments.
  • Support layout and design updates for custom compute boards, actuator control boards, and sensor interfaces as needed.
  • Develop and maintain electrical process documentation — schematics, harness routing, test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and safety protocols.
  • Collaborate with mechanical and software teams to validate full electromechanical integration, thermal performance, and EMI/ESD compliance.
  • Lead or support scaling initiatives, including design transfer, process qualification, and vendor validation.
  • Identify and implement automation and data-driven improvements in test coverage, yield, and line throughput.

Required Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of experience in Electrical Engineering, with a mix of design and manufacturing/test experience (preferably robotics, automotive, or aerospace).
  • Strong understanding of PCB design, wiring harness integration, and embedded systems.
  • Hands-on experience with test automation, data acquisition systems, and diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.).
  • Knowledge of manufacturing test methodologies, DFM/DFA principles, and electrical safety compliance.
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams (mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and supply chain) to deliver integrated systems.
  • Ability to debug complex electrical issues at both system and board levels.
  • Familiarity with high-speed interfaces, power electronics, and thermal management is a strong plus.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

Benefits:

  • We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.

Salary

  • The annual compensation is expected to be between $150,000 - $1,000,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
