Designation: Robotics Engineer (Hardware)

Full time · 1–3 years experience

About:

This is a full-stack electronics role weighted towards hardware. You will grow into owning the controller board from schematic and layout, through fabrication and bring-up, to the wiring and grounding that ties the robot together — and write the firmware that runs on it.

What you'll do:

- Design mixed-signal controller PCBs: power tree, component selection, schematic capture and design review (Fusion 360 or KiCad).
- Lay out multilayer boards: stackup, placement, decoupling, ground and return paths, and routing of noise-sensitive nets.
- Take boards through fabrication and assembly: fab outputs (Gerbers, drill, pick-and-place), BOM management, and coordinating with PCB vendors.
- Bring up and validate boards: rail and clock checks, bus signals on the scope, load and thermal checks, and root-causing board-level defects.
- Write firmware in C on 32-bit ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers: bring-up and test code for new boards, and drivers for sensors and field devices.
- Plan system-level electrical integration: connectors and wiring harnesses, cabling and termination, fusing, and grounding scheme.
- Maintain hardware documentation: schematics, BOMs, test points, bring-up reports, wiring diagrams and change history.

Must have

- B.E./B. Tech/M.E./M. Tech in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Engineering or equivalent.
- Hands-on PCB design:



schematic capture and multilayer layout in KiCad, Fusion 360, Altium or similar.
- PCB fundamentals: component selection and footprints, following the layout guidance in a datasheet, decoupling, grounding and return paths, and routing practices.
- Hardware side of digital interfaces — SPI, I²C, UART, GPIO, CAN/CAN-FD, RS-485, Ethernet — transceivers, termination and biasing.
- Working embedded C on 32-bit MCUs: able to bring up a board or set up configurations in a vendor ecosystem (STM32CubeIDE, Infineon PSOC Creator or similar), write or modify HAL-level drivers, and debug over SWD/JTAG.
- Fluency with lab instruments — oscilloscope, logic analyzer, power supply, electronic load, multimeter — and the habit of verifying on the wire, not just in the schematic.
- Comfortable with hand soldering, rework and probing on prototype boards.
- Version control discipline (Git) and clear documentation of designs, reports and defects.

Good to have:

- Robotics, AGV/AMR, automotive, or industrial automation background.
- Battery-powered systems: pack integration, BMS interfacing, and high-current layout.
- PCB design and IEC standards, and EMI/EMC fundamentals.
- Signal integrity and thermal analysis, including simulation where it helps.
- Designing test jigs and fixtures for board validation and production testing.
- Exposure to RTOS-based firmware or robotics middleware (FreeRTOS, ROS 2).
