Senior Electrical Engineer - UGVs & Payload Integration

Senior Electrical Engineer - UGVs & Payload Integration

ARX Robotics

Munich, Germany

About the role

We’re building rugged, high-performance off-road robotic vehicles, and we’re looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who wants to turn circuits, power systems, and sensors into field-ready capabilities for soldiers.

In this hands-on role, you’ll design and integrate electrical systems that work seamlessly with mechanical platforms and payloads, ensuring our robots perform reliably under real-world conditions. This is more than wiring diagrams — you’ll be shaping complete systems that operate in harsh environments and deliver mission-critical functionality.

Your Profile

• 5+ years of experience in electrical system design, embedded electronics, or robotics;
• Strong knowledge of power electronics, sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces;
• Expert in wiring harness design and electrical schematics, preferably with strong EPLAN skills;
• Comfortable designing for harsh environments: vibration, dust, water, and temperature extremes;
• Experience designing for rugged environments and tight mechanical packaging;
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, startup environment with cross-disciplinary teams;
• Strong problem-solver and troubleshooter who can balance performance, reliability, and manufacturability;
• Fluent in English; German is a plus;
• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and integrate electrical systems for UGVs, including power distribution, control electronics, and payload interfaces;
• Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers to ensure wiring, space constraints, thermal loads, and mechanical stresses are fully accounted for;
• Engineer sensor, actuator, and communication integrations for complex payloads (manipulators, radars, cameras, etc.);
• Develop and validate electrical architectures that are robust under shock, vibration, dust, water, and extreme temperatures;
• Prototype, test, and iterate electrical and embedded systems rapidly to meet customer mission requirements;
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including schematics, wiring diagrams, and integration notes;
• Solve real-world electrical challenges with a hands-on, pragmatic approach;
• Debug electrical systems in the lab and field, from oscilloscopes to power analyzers, thermal cameras.
