About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Robotics Systems Integration & Electrical Engineer to join our team and take charge of designing and integrating robotic systems from the ground up. This role is pivotal in bringing robotic prototypes to life and refining them through to full-scale production. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Electrical Engineering, a knack for hands-on problem-solving, and expertise in silicon selection and PCB management.

In this role you will:

• Lead the design and integration of robotic systems from initial prototypes through to production-ready solutions.

• Translate product requirements into detailed engineering specifications and system architectures.

• Collaborate with external partners to oversee PCB development and select appropriate silicon components.

• Develop and implement comprehensive system-level test plans for hardware and software features.

• Utilize data from prototype testing to refine and optimize system design and performance.

• Serve as the systems integration expert, guiding the project through the entire development lifecycle.

• Create and iterate on early-stage prototypes to identify and mitigate potential risks with new technologies.

• Diagnose and resolve complex electrical and software interactions in the robotics system.

• Coordinate multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring efficient workflow and timely delivery.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

• Have 7+ years of experience in systems integration, design, or related electro-mechanical systems, particularly in robotics.

• Have deep understanding of electrical engineering with an emphasis on embedded systems and hardware integration.

• Have demonstrated experience in silicon selection and managing PCB design and production with external partners.

• Have proficiency in embedded systems programming languages such as C/C++ and strong diagnostic skills.

• Have strong problem-solving abilities and experience with system-level debugging and optimization.

• Have excellent communication skills, capable of conveying complex technical information clearly and effectively.

• Have familiarity with modeling and analysis tools like MATLAB, Python, and data visualization software.
