    Job Description

    Why are We Hiring for this Role:

    • Join a small, high-impact team responsible for the electrical architecture that powers every subsystem of our humanoid robot—from compute and sensing to power distribution, communications, and safety.
    • You'll own the design and development of complex electrical systems, taking products from concept through prototyping, validation, and production while balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
    • This role spans the full hardware stack, including custom compute, embedded electronics, power distribution, high-speed interfaces, sensor integration, and system architecture.
    • Working alongside AI, software, mechanical, manufacturing, and embedded teams, you'll develop tightly integrated hardware that enables the next generation of intelligent robotic systems.
    • As a technical leader, you'll help establish the electrical engineering discipline, mentor engineers, define architecture, and shape the future of one of the most advanced humanoid robotics platforms in the world.


    What Kind of Person We are Looking for:

    • 8+ years experience in power electronics, compute hardware, or similar areas.
    • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field. PhD is a plus.
    • A hands-on leader who excels in fast-paced, interdisciplinary environments and drives innovation in compute for robotics.
    • Strong background in embedded systems, power electronics, and real-time architectures for robotics, automotive, or high-performance computing applications.
    • Expert in PCB design, signal integrity, thermal management, and fault-tolerant systems for compute hardware.
    • Familiarity with communication protocols (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, CAN) and interfaces for AI and sensor data processing.
    • Experience scaling power electronics or other complex systems from prototyping to mass production, with a focus on optimization and reliability.
