Staff Electrical Engineer

Join our team as a Staff Electrical Engineer, where you will play a crucial role in designing the next generation of our robot, Digit. You will be responsible for driving hardware architecture, designing and developing reliable hardware, and collaborating with a multi-discipline team of engineers. Your expertise in electrical design, robotics, and project management will be essential in ensuring our designs are robust, safe, and production-ready. Enjoy a dynamic work environment with competitive benefits, including paid parental leave, flexible work schedules, and a generous retirement plan.
