ABOUT ELEVATE ROBOTICS

Elevate Robotics, Inc., is a subsidiary of Apptronik. Our team has a heritage building some of the most advanced robots on the planet for years, dating back to the DARPA Robotics Challenge. We apply our expertise across the full robotics stack to some of the most important and impactful problems our society faces and expect our products and technology to change the world for the better. We value creativity, humility, integrity, passion, and curiosity to help us overcome existing technological barriers in the industry to create truly innovative products.

JOB SUMMARY

Elevate Robotics is looking for an Electrical Engineer with proven hands-on capabilities and a strong practical background. We are primarily interested in candidates with prior implementation experience in robotics hardware but will consider EEs with electromechanical/controls design experience. In this role, you will rapidly develop, test, and iterate electric systems from ideation to delivery, including printed circuit board assemblies, wire harnesses, test hardware and firmware, while considering cost, DFM/DFX and compliance issues.

Responsibilities

Work closely with mechanical, software, and systems teams to conceptualize, specify and implement a novel robotic manipulator

Prototype electrical systems at both system and board levels

Generate design documentation such as schematics, layouts, wiring diagrams, and assembly and cable drawings

Analyze circuits and electrical systems for thermal, power, and other performance factors

Specify and select electrical components such as microcontrollers, servo drives, sensors, and safety systems for robotics and automation uses

Design systems compliant with safety standards and regulatory requirements

Convert prototype designs to custom circuit board specifications

Capture electronics schematics and generate PCB designs for manufacturing

Create and execute validation and acceptance test plans for intermediate and final products, including test fixture design and software development

Participate in debugging and root cause analysis related to hardware and software defect resolution

Interface with internal and external manufacturing teams to enhance design for test, manufacturing, and assembly

Identify and develop new technologies including innovative power, motor, control, and sensing solutions

Must Have

Undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of relevant industry experience

Very strong electrical engineering fundamentals
