About the Company
Our client is building the future of home robotics - and it’s closer than you think. Imagine a world where robots handle your most time-consuming chores, giving you back the freedom to spend time with loved ones, nurture your passions, or simply rest. From self-watering gardens to clean, pet-friendly homes, this team is making that dream lifestyle a reality. With a team of 15 engineers and researchers from Tesla, Stanford, DeepMind, and Neuralink, and backed by over $30M from top-tier VCs, our client is developing what they believe will be the most advanced home robot on the market.
About the Role
Our client is looking for a Founding Electrical Engineer who thrives in fast-paced, zero-to-one environment and wants to help architect the future of robotics hardware. This person will own end-to-end electrical systems design - from wearables and flex circuits to power electronics - and play a key role in integrating these systems into robotic and wearable platforms.
Key Responsibilities
- Design compact PCBs and flex circuits for wearables and robotic systems
- Develop cabling and harnessing for system-wide integration
- Lead implementation of communication protocols (CAN, USB, EtherCAT, Ethernet)
- Collaborate with mechanical and software teams to deliver fully integrated products
- Support the full product lifecycle from prototyping through scalable production
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in electrical engineering
- Proven expertise in system architecture, PCB design, high-speed routing, and flex design
- Deep knowledge of communication protocols (CAN, USB, EtherCAT, Ethernet)
- Background in consumer electronics, robotics, wearables, or embedded systems
- Experience shipping complex hardware products at scale
Nice-to-Haves
- Firmware development experience (C/C++, Espressif, STM)
- Familiarity with control theory (actuator control, kinematic chain)
- Experience working with electromechanical systems and safety-critical designs
- Knowledge of dynamic wire routing and EMI/EMC best practices
Why Apply?
This is a rare chance to get in early with a well-funded robotics startup working at the cutting edge of hardware and AI. The team is ambitious, visionary, deeply technical and they're building something that will redefine what’s possible in the home.
