Key Responsibilities
You will be the architect of the robot’s nervous system and powerhouse. Your goal is to design the robust electrical backbone and low-level intelligence that allows our humanoids and industrial robots to perform complex tasks with reliability, safety, and high-performance efficiency.
- Embedded Stack: Develop and debug low-level firmware in C/C++ for real-time motor control and sensor integration.
- PCB Design & Hardware Development: Lead the end-to-end development of multi-layer PCBs, from schematic capture and component selection to layout and manufacturing files.
- Power Electronics: Design and optimise power distribution units, battery management systems (BMS), and high-current actuator interfaces.
- System Integration: Implement and maintain robust communication protocols including CAN, CANopen, and/or EtherCAT.
- Testing & Troubleshooting: Conduct hardware bring-up, signal integrity testing, and root-cause analysis for electrical failures using standard lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, Logic Analysers).
Requirements
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Troubleshooting: Strong hands-on skills in soldering, hardware debugging, and circuit validation.
- Technical Proficiency: Proven experience with EDA tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad) and embedded development for microcontrollers (ESP32, STM32, ARM Cortex).
- Power Systems: Solid understanding of DC-DC conversion, MOSFET drive circuits, and battery protection.
- Communication: Ability to collaborate effectively with mechanical and software teams in a fast-paced environment.
Valued Additions
- Robotics Specifics: Prior experience with BLDC motor control, FOC (Field Oriented Control), or medium to high-voltage battery packs.
- Industrial Standards: Familiarity with safety standards for cobots or intralogistics (e.g., ISO 10218 or ISO 13849).
- Protocol Expertise: Practical experience with CAN, CANOpen, Ethercat or C/C++ hardware interfaces.
- Mechanical Context: Basic understanding of thermal dissipation and enclosure constraints for electronics.
