Senior Electrical Engineer

Team: Engineering

Location: Charlestown, MA

Commitment: Full-Time

Workplace Type: hybrid

What You'll Do

• Own system-level electrical architecture for robotic platforms, including complex embedded systems — analog/digital circuits, power electronics, power distribution, and system-level interfaces
• Design, develop, and hands-on debug electrical systems, from schematic capture and PCB layout through bring-up and validation
• Develop electrical requirements, specifications, design verification plans, and test procedures that drive system-level design
• Create and maintain electrical drawings, schematics, and PCB layouts; lead technical design reviews
• Partner with mechanical, software, and systems engineering teams to execute product designs from concept through production — prototyping, validation, testing, and certification
• Deliver cost-effective, manufacturable electrical solutions and support release to production and field deployment, including troubleshooting, build support, and sustaining engineering
• Champion safety, EMC, and compliance throughout the electrical design process, applying functional safety standards (e.g., IEC 61508)
• Mentor other engineers on technical approach and design best practices, without formal management responsibility
• Execute on tight schedules while maintaining high-quality and reliability standards

What You'll Bring

• An Electrical Engineer with 8+ years of experience in robotics, automation, or related electromechanical systems, including robotic system integration and industrial automation
• B.S. in Electrical Engineering required (M.S. preferred)
• Strong background in electrical safety, control systems, and system-level design, with knowledge of autonomous mobile robots and industrial robot safety standards
• Knowledgeable in AC/DC power distribution, protection systems, and 3-phase industrial power (U.S. and EU standards)
• Skilled in cable harness design, interconnect solutions, and system wiring
• Experienced with power electronics, motors, motor control, and sensors (Hall effect, encoders, load cells)
• Proficient in PCB design, schematic layout, and assembly using tools like Altium; familiarity with CAD tools such as OnShape is a plus
• A strong communicator who can lead, influence, and coordinate across engineering disciplines
• Able to work from our Charlestown, MA office at least 4 days per week
