About the Job
We're shipping more and more robots and seeing new uses for our products emerge every day! We need an experienced Electrical Engineer to help us take our innovative designs from napkin sketches to hundreds of pounds of precisely moving parts, and facilitate every step in-between.
You will be responsible for the electrical / electronics designs of existing and new industrial robotics products. This will range through the entire design process from initial concept design and cost forecasting through to detailed design, verification and validation, and final release to production. Design challenges will span from high-level system architecture, power distribution to board layout, and field testing
You will be responsible for significant portions of the electrical design for our new and existing products. Our hardware must be many things, but reliability is paramount. It will be your job to build systems that can operate in whatever environment we subject them to, all while keeping the motors turning for our mechanical team and the 1's and 0's flowing properly for our software developers.
Your primary responsibilities will be:
- Electrical design on robotics platforms.
- Diagnostics and design revisions of complex mobile robots and manipulation systems.
- Power distribution and motor systems.
- Low speed digital/analog circuit design.
- Cable assembly design.
- PCB design.
- Integration and testing of prototypes into fearsome robots.
Additional tasks may include:
- Care, feeding, and testing of new products.
- Evaluating how we can apply lessons-learned from other industries to our designs.
- Supporting on-site installation and commissioning of robotics equipment at customer facilities. Occasional travel may be required.
- Supporting the evaluation of existing and new suppliers.
- Certification and compliance reviews.
- Mentoring and assisting junior members of the team.
