What the job involves

• As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will design motor controller boards and power distribution boards for our robotic platforms
• You will own the work from architecture and component selection through validation and production
• You will work with mechanical, firmware, controls, and software engineers to build hardware that performs under real operating conditions
• Design motor controller boards, power distribution boards, and other high-power electronics for robotic platforms
• Own power-stage architecture, schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout reviews for MOSFETs, gate drivers, current sensing, protection circuits, and thermal management
• Define grounding, power sequencing, fault handling, and interfaces among batteries, motors, sensors, and compute systems
• Develop drive electronics and interfaces to commutation with control firmware
• Work with firmware, controls, mechanical, and software engineers to integrate and test each system
• Write and run validation plans for efficiency, thermal performance, transient response, fault conditions, EMC/EMI, and environmental limits
• Diagnose power integrity, motor control, thermal, and reliability failures in the lab and on deployed robots
• Take designs through DFM, certification, production testing, and manufacturing ramp
• Drive team’s electrical design best practices
