Electrical Design Engineer
Mind Robotics, Palo Alto, CA, United States
Responsibilities
Design and develop complex electrical systems, including power distribution, sensor integration, and motor drive systems.
Execute full-cycle PCB development—schematic capture, component selection, multi-layer layout, and manufacturing file generation (Altium, KiCad, or OrCAD).
Assemble, test, and debug initial prototypes
Work closely with firmware and mechanical engineers to define connectors, pinouts, and physical constraints.
Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime
Interface with PCB fabricators and component suppliers to ensure timely delivery and DFM
Qualifications
Technical degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
5+ years of experience (or equivalent "hard tech" projects) building complex electromechanical systems and sensors
Deep understanding of DC-DC converters, EMI/EMC mitigation, and standard communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN bus, UART).
Experience with hardware validation cycles, debug and measurement methods
Experience with wire harnesses, cabling & connectors.4
Experience designing for volume processes and working with contract manufacturers
You are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part.
