The job description

Tech stack. Systems modeling, requirements management tools, MATLAB/Simulink, interface control documents, power budgeting, FMEA, LabVIEW, system integration and test planning, CAN and Ethernet networking

About the role

You will work as an electrical systems engineer at a company building autonomous mobile robots for warehouse logistics. Your job is the system, not any single board: you will define how power, compute, sensing, and actuation come together into a machine that runs three shifts without intervention. You will write the requirements each subsystem builds against, manage the interfaces where subsystems meet, and lead integration when the pieces come together. When the robot misbehaves in the field, you will be the person who determines whether the fault lives in power, grounding, timing, or software.

What you will achieve

Own the electrical system architecture for a robot platform, including the power tree, network topology, and interface definitions, all documented in interface control documents that subsystem teams build against.
Write clear, testable subsystem requirements with quantitative acceptance criteria, catching interface mismatches on paper first and cutting integration surprises dramatically.
Lead system bring-up and integration across electrical, firmware, and mechanical teams, driving cross-functional debug to root cause and closing integration issues within days rather than weeks.
Deliver a validated power budget and thermal budget for the full system, verified by measurement across all operating modes including worst-case compute and drive loads.
Build the system-level test plan covering functional, environmental, and safety cases, and drive it to completion before each major release with full traceability to requirements.

What you will bring

Must-haves

2 to 5 years working on multi-board or multi-subsystem electrical systems that shipped.
Ability to write precise requirements and interface documents that other engineers can build against without ambiguity.
Breadth across power, digital, and analog fundamentals, plus comfort reading firmware-adjacent material like device trees and driver code.
Structured integration and debug skills: hypothesis-driven testing applied to complex systems with many interacting parts.
Familiarity with FMEA or similar risk analysis methods applied to real designs.
BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.

Nice-to-haves

Experience with mobile robots, electric vehicles, or other battery-powered systems.
Knowledge of functional safety concepts or relevant standards for machinery.
Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink for system-level modeling and trade studies.
Familiarity with CAN, EtherCAT, or automotive Ethernet networking.
