As a Senior Electrical Engineer at Boston Dynamics, you will play a pivotal role in the evolution of Atlas, our advanced humanoid robot. Every day you will work on designing compact, reliable electronics used in dense electromechanical systems.You will frequently work hands-on, in the lab, building and debugging electrical systems, ranging from small test setups to fully integrated robots. Robotics includes a broad range of technical subjects within electrical engineering. To thrive in this role, you must be able to work efficiently on multiple development threads in separate, evolving contexts.
Job Responsibility:
Design electronics that comprise advanced robotic actuators and end-effectors
Develop circuit designs for motor drives, power supplies, analog sensing, microcontrollers, and high-speed communications by performing trade studies, block-diagramming, and schematic capture
Analyze and optimize circuit designs using spice and simulation
Design PCB layouts for highly integrated assemblies with techniques including Flex/Rigid-Flex, High-Density-Interconnect (HDI), and heavy copper
Work cross-functionally with mechanical engineers to miniaturize PCBs and optimize reliability for highly complex electromechanical systems
Conduct failure analysis and debug complex systems using strong circuit analysis fundamentals
Develop comprehensive design and test documentation and execute thorough Electrical Validation Test (EVT)
Use command-line Linux tools to configure networks, run software on robots, and interact with firmware
Use a wide variety of lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMM’s, power supplies, programmable loads, and spectrum analyzers to validate designs and debug hard problems
Requirements:
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering
5+ years of experience designing electronics
Experience designing power electronics
Experience using or designing motors and motor drives
Experience implementing ethernet, PCIe, or other high speed data technologies
Experience with High-Density-Interconnect (HDI) and heavy copper layout
Strong knowledge of PCB fabrication and assembly
Experience with Python, C/C++, or MATLAB and strong Linux command-line knowledge
Working knowledge of Solidworks or similar mechanical CAD tools
