Job description

We are on a mission to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial. We will accomplish this by training robot AGI to invent and build the Autonomous Supply Chain – everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door – powered by generalist superhumanoids.

Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon and our board of directors include famed robotics and AI legends including Fei-Fei Li (Chief Scientist of AI at Google and Director of Stanford’s AI Lab), Marc Raibert (founder of Boston Dynamics), and Sebastian Thrun (founder of GoogleX, Waymo;

Job responsibilities

  • Design motor controller boards, power distribution boards, and other high-power electronics for robotic platforms
  • Own power-stage architecture, schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout reviews for MOSFETs, gate drivers, current sensing, protection circuits, and thermal management
  • Define grounding, power sequencing, fault handling, and interfaces among batteries, motors, sensors, and compute systems
  • Develop drive electronics and interfaces to commutation with control firmware
  • Work with firmware, controls, mechanical, and software engineers to integrate and test each system
  • Write and run validation plans for efficiency, thermal performance, transient response, fault conditions, EMC/EMI, and environmental limits
  • Diagnose power integrity, motor control, thermal, and reliability failures in the lab and on deployed robots
  • Take designs through DFM, certification, production testing, and manufacturing ramp

Job requirements

  • Bachelor’s, Master’s degree, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • 4+ years designing power electronics, motor drives, or high-current embedded hardware
  • Experience designing motor controller boards, power distribution boards, DC/DC converters, inverters, or related power systems
  • Knowledge of power semiconductors, gate drives, current and voltage sensing, magnetics, protection circuits, and control loops
  • Experience with thermal analysis, power integrity, grounding, creepage and clearance, and high-current PCB layout
  • Proficiency with Altium, OrCAD, KiCad, or a comparable PCB design tool
  • Ability to run circuit, power electronics, and thermal simulations to validate designs before hardware testing
  • Familiarity with embedded systems and protocols such as SPI, I2C, CAN, and UART
