About the role
We are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our team. You will design, develop, and validate the electrical systems of a humanoid robot platform including power distribution, motor control electronics, sensor interfaces, and communication networks and ensure robust integration with embedded firmware and our ROS2-based software stack.
This role will play a central part in shaping the robot’s electrical architecture, owning design decisions across schematics, PCB design, and system-level integration as the platform scales to new modules and deployments.
Your Responsibilities
- Design and review electrical schematics for actuator controllers, sensor boards, and power systems
- Support PCB bring-up, validation, and debugging of custom electronics
- Define and implement power distribution, grounding, and protection strategies
- Integrate sensors (force/torque, encoders, IMUs) at the electrical and interface level
- Debug signal integrity, EMI, and communication issues (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN)
- Support hardware bring-up of new actuator and gripper modules
Essential Skills
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
- Strong experience with schematic design and PCB development
- Knowledge of motor drivers, power electronics, and sensor interfaces
- Experience with communication protocols: UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet/UDP
- Hands-on debugging skills using oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and multimeter
- Understanding of embedded systems constraints and real-time hardware behavior
Beneficial Skills
- Experience designing electronics for robotics or motion control systems
- Familiarity with servo and motor control platforms (Dynamixel, ODrive, or similar)
- Experience with safety, protection circuits, and EMC/EMI considerations
- Exposure to ROS2-based robotic systems
What we offer
- A dynamic high-tech company, combined with financial soundness and world-class investors.
- Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment.
- Lots of development opportunities as we continue to grow.
- Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth.
- Corporate Benefits Program covering health, mobility, and learning for 100€ net per month.
- Modern office facilities with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment
