Full description
Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.
About The Role
As a Senior Electrical Engineer on the Hardware team in Boston, you’ll design and develop the electrical systems that bring advanced humanoid robots to life. This is a hands-on role where you’ll work across the full spectrum of robotics electrical engineering—from electrical system designs, electromechanical integrations, PCB layouts, firmware and device programming, to hands-on debugging in the lab. Your work will span from small test systems to fully integrated prototype robots, and provide you with a unique opportunity to have a big impact.
What You’ll Do
- Design Electrical Systems for Robotics: Develop electrical systems that power and control Humanoid’s advanced robots, with a focus on sensors, compute architecture, and power systems.
- Conduct Circuit Analysis and Debugging: Use strong circuit analysis fundamentals to review electrical designs, conduct failure analysis, and troubleshoot complex electrical systems.
- PCB Design and Schematic Capture: Create detailed schematics and PCB layouts using Altium, ensuring the designs meet the performance, reliability, and manufacturability standards required for robotics.
- Develop Embedded Firmware: Write firmware in C and HDL to program microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGAs, testing and refining embedded designs to ensure optimal performance.
- Leverage Linux for Robotics: Utilize your knowledge of command-line Linux to configure networks, run software, and interface with robots for testing and validation.
- Hands-On Lab Work: Use a variety of lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, programmable loads, and spectrum analyzers, to validate designs and solve complex electrical engineering challenges.
- Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with mechanical engineers, software developers, and other team members to integrate electrical systems with robotics hardware, ensuring seamless operation and performance.
What We're Looking For
- Experience with high-speed data technologies such as PCIE, Ethernet, EtherCAT and/or other communication protocols in PCB-based devices and systems.
- Experience developing power regulation and distribution systems, including particular expertise with short-circuit protection systems, switching power supplies, and creative power management technologies.
