Job Description

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and scale the head sub-system for our humanoid robot, NEO. This role involves developing and integrating the electrical systems that enable the robot’s expressive, perceptive, and functional capabilities. You will be responsible for hands-on design, prototyping, and system integration while working closely with mechanical, software, manufacturing and industrial design teams. You will own electrical components and assemblies throughout their lifecycle, from initial concept and prototyping to validation and mass production. Your work will directly influence the reliability, safety, aesthetics, and scalability of humanoid robots deployed worldwide. The ideal candidate is a creative problem-solver with strong electrical design skills who thrives in a fast-paced product development environment.

Job Responsibility

  • Design advanced PCB layouts for sensing, actuation, and compute modules
  • Perform bench-level testing using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other lab equipment
  • Conduct component-level soldering and rework, including fine-pitch and SMD parts
  • Tune resistor networks and study subcircuits such as encoder gain stages or power filters
  • Program and verify prototype boards and document any issues identified
  • Execute power circuit characterization, including buck-converter load analysis and efficiency evaluation
  • Perform circuit simulation and analysis (SPICE or equivalent) for component selection and filter/bridge optimization
  • Interpret electronic component datasheets to select parts based on performance, cost, and availability
  • Collaborate with mechanical and firmware teams to ensure system-level integration and functionality

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
  • Strong understanding of schematics, circuit theory, and component datasheets
  • Proficiency with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies
  • Skilled in soldering, including fine-pitch and surface-mount components
  • Experience designing printed circuit boards (PCBs)
  • Debug, characterize, and optimize across thermal, EMC/EMI, and signal-integrity domains
  • Experience with embedded systems and firmware fundamentals
  • Proficiency with Altium Designer or equivalent ECAD tools
  • Circuit-simulation experience using SPICE or equivalent tools
  • Knowledge of power electronics, component parasitics, and system-noise analysis
  • Able to work full-time on-site

Nice to have

  • Consumer electronics experience
  • Factory testing experience
