Are you passionate about a role where you’ll be working directly on the robot or other physical system components? We're looking for an electrical engineer to lead our client's embedded systems development for autonomous, underground, logistics robot system. You will have a high level of control over your own designs and the ability to set the tone for electrical hardware and firmware dev environment. The ideal candidate will have a passion for robot hardware, transitioning designs from early stage prototypes into production and a general love for taking moonshot projects and pushing them into reality.

Responsibilities

• You will be turning ideas into a reality which includes defining the constraints of your projects Iterating on your own board designs and firmware from prototype to low production runs
• Performing in-the-field bring up, testing and debugging on robots and newly installed systems
• Working with suppliers to order custom boards, cable harnesses, and components
• Writing and validating reliability focused firmware
