A world empowered by autonomy. We build robotic vehicles to improve logistics safety, forge a greener Earth, and enhance human lives.

We are a closely-knit team aspiring to change the world through disruptive technology. We are innovators. We are tinkerers. We are problem-solvers. And we have a fair amount of magic dust up our sleeves. We have a plan for fleet-level deployment of autonomous vehicles, and we are looking for the best-of-the-best to join us in making this a reality.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Electronics Engineer to take technical ownership of internally developed electronic hardware used in our autonomous vehicle systems. The role is focused on electronics design and board-level ownership, including circuits that interface with braking, throttle, steering, transmission, sensors, power distribution, and other vehicle peripherals.

The engineer will own the hardware lifecycle from schematic and PCB design through bring-up, validation, production release, field troubleshooting, sustaining engineering, component obsolescence, and redesign when required.

Role responsibilities

Electronics Design & Technical Ownership

Design electronic boards with STM32 as the primary platform for vehicle control, power distribution, sensing, communications, and peripheral interfacing.

Translate system and interface requirements into circuit-level requirements, schematics, component selection, PCB requirements, diagnostics, and validation criteria.

Perform MCU bring-up and low-level debugging using tools such as STM32CubeIDE / STM32CubeMX, ST-LINK, J-Link, SWD, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes.

Develop and debug peripheral interfaces including CAN / CAN FD, UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, PWM, GPIO, timers, interrupts, and watchdogs.

Design power switching, DC/DC conversion, MOSFET and high-side / low-side drivers, PWM outputs, analog and digital I/O, current / voltage sensing, signal conditioning, and sensor interfaces.

Design robust interfaces for solenoids, proportional valves, relays, contactors, motors, actuators, sensors, and vehicle ECUs, including functions related to braking, throttle, steering, and transmission.

Design for 12 V / 24 V vehicle environments, including reverse polarity, voltage dips, overvoltage, short circuit, inductive transients, ESD, surge, EMI / EMC, and abnormal operating conditions.

Select and derate components based on electrical stress, thermal performance, tolerance, lifetime, reliability, environmental requirements, and supply availability.

Develop schematics and provide technical direction for PCB layout, grounding, return paths, power / signal integrity, thermal design, creepage / clearance, and manufacturability.

Lead board-level design reviews, identify circuit failure modes, make engineering trade-offs, and mentor other electrical / electronics engineers.

Validation & Root Cause Analysis

Plan and execute prototype bring-up, board verification, characterization, margin testing, and qualification activities.

Validate power sequencing, load response, short-circuit behavior, inductive switching, thermal performance, communication robustness, protection functions, and relevant environmental conditions.

Develop bench test setups to simulate vehicle sensors, actuators, electrical loads, power conditions, and communication interfaces.
