Ideal candidate

A self-driven, hands-on engineer who takes ownership from concept to deployment and loves bringing up boards, chasing root cause, and blending AI with real-world robotics.

Requirements

  • Have 5+ years of experience developing compute hardware or similarly complex high-speed electronics, with demonstrated ownership of complete designs.
  • Bring strong hands-on measurement and debugging skills, including practical experience with oscilloscopes, probing techniques, and interface validation.
  • Understand high-speed digital interfaces deeply enough to make architectural tradeoffs and diagnose issues across hardware and software boundaries.
  • Have strong signal-integrity and power-integrity fundamentals, a solid foundation in power electronics, and practical experience designing complex HDI PCBs.
  • Can use a Linux shell, write simple shell scripts, connect over SSH, and perform basic Ethernet and network troubleshooting.
  • Take initiative, turn ambiguous requirements into concrete engineering plans, and follow through to deliver working systems.
