Electrical Engineer

JOB SUMMARY

We're looking for Electrical Engineers to develop electronics for the Apollo humanoid robot who embody our company values of creativity, humility, integrity, passion, and curiosity. Robotics is a multidisciplinary domain, and we highly value strong technical first-principle thinkers with strong electrical engineering fundamentals in this role.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES or KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Design, simulate, implement, and test multi-layer mixed signal PCBAs.
• Rapid prototyping of electrical systems at both system and board levels.
• Simulate and verify electronics and electrical system requirements.
• Generate design documentation such as schematics, block diagrams, test plans and procedures, fabrication and assembly drawings.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including software, mechanical, thermal, systems engineers, and manufacturing. 
• Execute comprehensive validation and test plans, design necessary test fixtures, and execute rigorous testing to confirm compliance with performance specifications and regulatory standards (e.g., FCC, CE, UL).
• Participate in the debugging and root cause analysis related to hardware and software defect resolution.
• Provide ongoing support of existing designs.

SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS

• Familiarity with CAD tools including Altium or similar tools.
• Proven experience designing, prototyping, and debugging PCB/PCBAs.
• Familiarity/experience with electronics lab tools and simulation tools (ex: LTSpice, PSpice).
• Excellent communication (verbal & written); will be expected to develop detailed build assembly instructions and diagrams.
• Excellent problem-solving and hardware debugging skills.
• Hands-on experience with prototyping and testing, including the use of lab equipment.
• Travel up to 10% within the US and internationally.

EDUCATION and/or EXPERIENCE

• Bachelors, Masters, or PhD degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in electrical engineering.

NICE TO HAVE:
