Your mission & challenges

We are engineering a high-density, multi-axis robotic actuation system with integrated sensing and on-board perception. You will own the electronics for the core actuation units, power management, and sensor interfaces: control boards, sensor front-ends, and the physical bridge to our embedded and AI stack. You’ll work side-by-side with the founder and the engineering team to take the system from concept to EVT/DVT and into small-series production.

Own the electronic architecture for the multi-axis system and peripheral controllers:
- Central controller board based on high-performance ARM Cortex-M7/M85;
- Distributed BLDC motor drive boards (ARM Cortex-M33 class controllers);
- Power distribution from a 48 V bus, including DC/DC conversion and protection.
Design mixed-signal PCBs (2–8 layer range): schematics, layout, bring-up, and test;
Integrate and interface encoders, tactile arrays, ToF sensors, IMUs, flex sensors, and cameras;
Work with firmware engineers on 1 kHz motor control loops, sensing requirements, and safety features;
Define test setups, fixtures, and validation plans for your boards;
Iterate on early prototypes (hand-soldered & lab-hacked) and converge on DFM/DFA-ready designs;
Contribute to EMC, safety, and reliability strategies for the full electromechanical system.

What we can look forward to

4+ years in electronics design for robotics, motion control, industrial, or similar domains;
Strong experience with BLDC motor drives (gate drivers, current sensing, shunt/INA, layout for power stages);
Hands-on with mixed-signal PCB layout (Altium/KiCad or similar), including grounding, separation of power/logic, and EMI-aware routing;
Confidence designing around ARM MCUs/SoCs, high-speed interfaces (SPI, CAN-FD, Ethernet, MIPI/CSI, or LVDS), and sensor front-ends;
Comfortable in the lab with scopes, logic analysers, power supplies, and quick rework;
Ability to work closely with firmware and mechanical teams on packaging, harnessing, and testability;
Experience with dual-core ARM implementations or high-performance motor control ICs;
Previous work on high-density electromechanical assemblies or cobot end-effectors;
Exposure to functional safety concepts (STO, redundant sensing, safe torque off).
