About the Role This hands-on Electrical Engineer role sits at the core of a small, fast-moving robotics hardware team building ground robots designed for the most demanding environments — hazmat, emergency response, industrial inspection, and defense. You'll own the electrical backbone of these systems end-to-end, working closely with mechanical and software engineers to deliver field-ready, high-reliability platforms. What You'll Do Design analog and digital circuits including power regulation, signal conditioning, and sensor interfaces. Own the full PCB development lifecycle: schematic capture, layout, and bring-up. Define and maintain wiring diagrams, harnessing, grounding, and EMI/EMC strategies for robotic systems. Design and fabricate cable harnesses and enclosures engineered for field reliability. Support sensor selection and integration across thermal, gas, visual, RF, and related modalities. Run SPICE simulations for analog validation, noise analysis, and circuit stability. Execute and interpret tests for thermal load, EMI, and ruggedness. Troubleshoot and debug system-level electrical issues across hardware, software, and mechanical boundaries. Contribute to design reviews, documentation, and internal electrical standards. Engage directly with end users as needed to inform engineering direction. What We're Looking For 5+ years of hands-on electrical design experience for robotics or embedded systems. Proven experience with analog and digital circuits, power distribution, and sensor integration on robotic platforms. Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout in Altium, KiCad, or Eagle . Experience designing robot bus and wiring harness systems, including harness fabrication. Solid background in thermal, EMI, and vibration testing and debugging. Background in aerospace, defense, industrial, or other safety-critical hardware environments is a strong plus. Comfortable working across hardware, software, and mechanical disciplines in a small team. Compensation & Benefits Salary range: $100,000 – $150,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available. Location On-site in Austin, TX, United States .
