About the role

Electrical Engineer to lead the design and development of power and motion control systems for Fauna robotics platform, shaping long-term architecture and enabling safe human-robot interaction.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design, layout, and validation of PCBs for power distribution, motor drivers, embedded systems, and sensor integration
  • Architect and optimize power distribution and battery system to support a robot with high-performance actuators and real-time compute workloads
  • Develop and refine lithium-ion battery system
  • Develop high-efficiency system power architecture and power monitoring circuitry to support the robotics platform
  • Ensure EMI/EMC compliance, signal integrity, and thermal design best practices for high-reliability electronics in a compact mobile system
  • Collaborate with firmware engineers on real-time control strategies for smooth, compliant motion
  • Work with mechanical engineers to integrate thermal management solutions for batteries, high-power electronics, and motors
  • Define the electrical architecture for real-time control, networking, and system diagnostics, ensuring high-speed, low-latency communication between actuators, sensors, and compute nodes
  • Support bring-up, debugging, and testing of prototype robots, working closely with firmware and mechanical teams
  • Work with vendors and contract manufacturers to source high-quality components and oversee the production of key electronics subsystems
  • Mentor junior engineers, drive design reviews, and define electrical engineering best practices

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of electrical theory, robotics, controls components, and automated equipment experience
  • 4+ years of motor controls (motor starts, variable frequency drives, DC drives, and standard electrical components) experience
  • Experience developing products for large volume production
  • Experience working effectively across cross-functional teams and partnering well with people at all levels within an organization
  • Strong PCB design and layout skills (Altium, KiCad, or similar) with an understanding of high-power circuits, signal integrity, and thermal constraints
  • Experience with lithium-ion battery systems, BMS hardware/software, and power distribution architectures
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills, including experience with oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and motor test benches
  • Proficiency with embedded system interfaces (FDCAN, SPI, I2C, RS485, USB) and experience working with STM32 microcontrollers
  • Knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation techniques and compliance standards for industrial or robotics systems
  • Experience working in robotics, automotive, aerospace, or other real-time electromechanical systems
