About the role

Senior Electrical Engineer to design and own embedded devices and internal tooling for Noble Machines' general-purpose robots, from schematic design to field validation, ensuring reliable hardware and tooling across the full stack.

Responsibilities

  • Own electrical design end-to-end for embedded devices and internal developer tools — schematics, PCB layout, bring-up, and validation — supporting the robot's compute, sensing, and communication subsystems.
  • Design and build test fixtures, debug tooling, and diagnostic hardware that accelerate development and validation across the broader engineering team.
  • Architect embedded electronics for reliability in harsh field conditions (dust, vibration, temperature extremes, power transients common to construction, mining, and energy sites).
  • Select and integrate microcontrollers, sensors, and communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, CAN, Ethernet, USB) to support real-time control and data acquisition.
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical, firmware, and software teams to ensure electrical designs integrate cleanly with the full robot system.
  • Own component lifecycle management and vendor relationships, including PCBA fabrication and assembly partners.
  • Develop and execute validation and test plans (DVT/PVT), using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies) to verify performance, safety, and reliability.
  • Mentor other engineers on hardware design, documentation, and debugging best practices as the team grows.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of professional experience in electrical engineering, ideally in robotics, embedded systems, automotive, or consumer/industrial electronics.
  • Strong hands-on PCB design experience (multi-layer, mixed-signal), using tools such as Altium or equivalent.
  • Deep familiarity with embedded systems: microcontroller-based design, firmware/hardware interfaces, and common communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, Ethernet, USB).
  • Track record of taking hardware from concept through prototyping, validation, and production.
  • Proven experience building test fixtures, debug tools, or developer-facing hardware/tooling.
  • Comfortable with root-cause debugging of hardware and firmware issues using lab equipment.
  • Strong communication skills — you'll be documenting designs and mentoring others, not just building in isolation.
  • Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
