About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Embedded Hardware Engineer to join our Humanoid Robotics R&D; team. The candidate will be responsible for the design, development, prototyping, testing, debugging, and validation of embedded electronic hardware used in humanoid robotic systems.
The role requires solid hands-on experience in digital and analog circuit design, microcontrollers, power electronics, motor control, communication interfaces, PCB design, hardware bring-up, and hardware-software integration.
The candidate will work closely with Firmware, Robotics, Controls, Mechanical, AI/ML, and Software teams to develop reliable and high-performance robotic subsystems.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop embedded electronic hardware for humanoid robotics and robotic subsystems.
Develop schematics, circuit designs, component selection, and hardware architecture.
Design hardware for motor controllers, actuator control units, sensor interfaces, power distribution, control boards, and communication modules.
Work with MCUs, processors, sensors, actuators, motor drivers,
power ICs, communication transceivers, and other electronic components.
Design and integrate analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronic circuits.
Design hardware interfaces for BLDC/PMSM/servo motors, encoders, IMUs, force/torque sensors, current sensors, temperature sensors, and other robotic sensors.
Design and implement communication interfaces such as CAN/CAN-FD, UART, SPI, I2C, RS485, Ethernet, and EtherCAT.
Work on power supply, DC-DC converters, LDOs, battery interfaces, power distribution, and protection circuits.
Perform PCB design and layout review, ensuring signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, thermal, and mechanical constraints are considered.
Collaborate with PCB designers for multi-layer PCB development, including high-speed and mixed-signal boards.
Perform hardware bring-up, testing, debugging, and validation of prototype boards.
Conduct board-level troubleshoot
