Staff Electrical Engineer (Dexterity)

Join our team as a Staff Electrical Engineer, where you will drive the electronics development for the end effectors of the Apollo humanoid robot. You will own electronic systems from ideation through design, testing, and into mass production. Your responsibilities will include architecting and designing multi-layer mixed signal PCBAs, developing and executing validation and test plans, conducting root-cause analysis and debugging, managing the entire component lifecycle, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and providing technical leadership. Candidates should have at least 8 years of experience in Electrical Engineering and a degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

• Architect, design, simulate, implement, and test multi-layer mixed signal PCBAs for robotic end effectors.
• Develop and execute comprehensive validation and test plans (DVT/PVT) to ensure compliance with performance specifications.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and act as a mentor within the electrical engineering team.
• Excellent problem-solving and hardware debugging skills
• Experience with developing and maintaining CAD design rules
• Hands-on experience with prototyping and testing, including the use of lab equipment
• Experience with electronics lab tools and simulation tools (ex: LTSpice, PSpice)
• Competent in CAD tools including Altium, or similar tools
• Proven experience designing, prototyping, and debugging PCB/PCBAs as well as interfacing with manufacturing groups during release/build
• Excellent communication (verbal & written); will be expected to develop detailed build assembly instructions and diagrams
• Experience with product lifecycle management and PLM systems such as Arena and TeamCenter
• Experience with end effectors/end of arm tooling (EOAT), prosthetics, wearables, motor drives, firmware, communication protocols (Ethernet, EtherCAT, CAN, etc.), and wiring harnesses
• Travel up to 10% within US and internationally
• Knowledge of three-phase PMSM/BLDC motor controls, field-oriented control (FOC), advanced switching topologies (FET/GaN), thermal analysis and design, power protection schemes (efuses, bus sizing), and sensor integration
• At least 8 years of experience in Electrical Engineering
• Bachelors, Masters, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
• Must be able to lift 15 pounds at times
• Vision to read printed materials and a computer screen
• Hearing and speech to communicate
