Skills

PCB LayoutCircuit DesignRobotics

Own significant portions of the electrical architecture for compact, highly integrated robotic and electromechanical systems
Design and implement compact electronics including circuit design, component selection, PCB layout, bring-up, validation, and deployment
Build and validate hardware in integrated robotic systems, driving issues from first observation through root cause and design resolution
Partner closely with mechanical, firmware, software, controls, manufacturing, and research teams
Make engineering tradeoffs across performance, size, power, reliability, manufacturability, and iteration speed

6+ years of experience developing electrical systems for robotics, consumer electronics, medical devices, wearables, or cameras
Proven experience owning hardware from concept through PCB layout, bring-up, validation, and deployment
Experience designing compact, high-density electronics within severe mechanical constraints
Proficiency with technologies such as BGAs, rigid-flex assemblies, fine-pitch interconnects, or micro-coax
Ability to reason across electrical, firmware, and mechanical boundaries
Experience taking ownership of loosely defined problems and turning them into working systems

Experience with GMSL, MIPI/CSI, FPD-Link, or other high-speed camera interfaces
Experience with multi-board robotic systems including distributed sensing and real-time communication
Experience bringing hardware through EVT/DVT-style builds or low-volume production
Familiarity with writing bring-up, test, or diagnostic firmware in C, C++, Rust, or Python
