Teleo, a Havoc company, is a robotics company that transforms construction heavy equipment, including loaders, dozers, excavators, and trucks, into autonomous robots for commercial and defense applications. Our technology enables a single operator to supervise and control multiple machines simultaneously, delivering significant productivity gains while improving operator safety and comfort.
Teleo was founded by a team of experienced technology leaders who previously led the development of Lyft's Self-Driving Car program and Google Street View. Teleo recently announced its merger with Havoc AI, a fast-growing defense technology company developing coordinated fleets of autonomous maritime vessels.
This is a unique opportunity to join a team building technology with real-world impact. You will work on cutting-edge 100,000-pound autonomous robots and engineer complex systems at the intersection of hardware, software, robotics, and AI.
Mission
Own Teleo's board-level electrical hardware from schematic to production. Take ownership of existing PCB designs, bring them up to a professional standard, and establish the processes and rigor needed to design, validate, and manufacture reliable boards at the pace of a fast-growing startup.

-
Own the full lifecycle of PCB design: schematic capture, layout, simulation, prototyping, validation, and production release
-
Take ownership of existing board designs — clean up schematics, BOMs, and documentation to a maintainable, professional standard
-
Design power stages, sensor interfaces, high-precision analog I/O, digital I/O, and galvanic isolation circuits
-
Establish and own validation and test practices: bench testing, ESD, load testing, resonance tuning, and whatever else the design demands
-
Manage DFM reviews and own the relationship with contract manufacturers and fab houses
-
Own compliance and EMC testing
-
Collaborate with the embedded firmware team on board bring-up and hardware-software integration
-
Provide high-level systems guidance on cable harnesses and electrical architecture to junior engineers
Required Qualifications
-
B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.
-
5+ years of professional electrical engineering experience with a focus on PCB design through production
-
Strong analog and digital circuit design fundamentals
-
Experience designing low-voltage power circuits with high-current stages
-
Proficient in KiCad (schematic capture, layout, BOM management)
-
Hands-on validation and debugging: oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, load testing
-
Experience managing contract manufacturers and fab houses through DFM and production
-
Demonstrated ability to own board designs end to end with minimal oversight
-
Comfortable working on-site in Palo Alto, CA
Strong Experience With
-
Mixed-signal design: high-precision analog, sensor interfaces, galvanic isolation
-
DFM practices: panelization, tolerancing, component selection for manufacturability
-
Compliance and EMC testing processes
-
Rapid iteration: comfortable spinning boards quickly without sacrificing quality
-
Maintaining clean, well-documented schematics and BOMs across multiple active designs
Nice to Have
-
Experience in automotive, heavy equipment, or ruggedized industrial environments
-
Familiarity with embedded firmware concepts — enough to be a strong partner during bring-up
-
Experience establishing electrical engineering standards and validation processes on a small team
-
Early-stage startup experience — comfortable with broad ownership and fast iteration
