Senior Electrical Engineer (Hybrid)

As a Senior Electrical Engineer at our company, you will be responsible for developing conceptual designs, validating PCBAs, and supporting system integration and testing activities. You’ll collaborate with fellow engineers to ensure the success of projects like robotics compute boards and battery management systems, while also managing the PCB design processes, including preparation and release of fabrication files.

To apply for the Senior Electrical Engineer role, you must have a Bachelor's or higher degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, along with at least 5 years of industry experience. A strong mastery of Altium (or similar EDA tools), power electronics, digital electronics, and analog electronics is also required, along with excellent communication skills.

Essential skills for a Senior Electrical Engineer in our New York office include solid expertise in designing, building, and testing PCBAs, mastery of various electronic components (like motor drivers and microcontrollers), and strong debugging abilities. Familiarity with high-speed designs, small boards, and tools like LTspice and Python would be a bonus!

We believe in continuous growth! As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will have access to professional development opportunities, such as training, workshops, and mentorship programs. We encourage our engineers to stay updated with the latest technologies and best practices in the industry, ensuring they thrive in their careers.

Our work environment is collaborative and innovative, where Senior Electrical Engineers work closely with diverse teams, fostering an atmosphere of teamwork and creativity. With our hybrid model, you'll enjoy flexibility while making significant contributions to exciting projects in robotics technology.
