Role Overview
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and scale the head sub-system for our humanoid robot, NEO. This role involves developing and integrating the electrical systems that enable the robot’s expressive, perceptive, and functional capabilities.
You will be responsible for hands-on design, prototyping, and system integration while working closely with mechanical, software, manufacturing and industrial design teams. You will own electrical components and assemblies throughout their lifecycle, from initial concept and prototyping to validation and mass production. Your work will directly influence the reliability, safety, aesthetics, and scalability of humanoid robots deployed worldwide.
The ideal candidate is a creative problem-solver with strong electrical design skills who thrives in a fast-paced product development environment.
Responsibilities
Design advanced PCB layouts for sensing, actuation, and compute modules
Perform bench-level testing using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other lab equipment
Conduct component-level soldering and rework, including fine-pitch and SMD parts
Tune resistor networks and study subcircuits such as encoder gain stages or power filters
Program and verify prototype boards and document any issues identified
Execute power circuit characterization, including buck-converter load analysis and efficiency evaluation
Perform circuit simulation and analysis (SPICE or equivalent) for component selection and filter/bridge optimization
Interpret electronic component datasheets to select parts based on performance, cost, and availability
Collaborate with mechanical and firmware teams to ensure system-level integration and functionality
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
Strong understanding of schematics, circuit theory, and component datasheets
Proficiency with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies
Skilled in soldering, including fine-pitch and surface-mount components
Experience designing printed circuit boards (PCBs)
Debug, characterize, and optimize across thermal, EMC/EMI, and signal-integrity domains
Experience with embedded systems and firmware fundamentals
Proficiency with Altium Designer or equivalent ECAD tools
Circuit-simulation experience using SPICE or equivalent tools
Knowledge of power electronics, component parasitics, and system-noise analysis
Able to work full-time on-site
