Senior Hardware Engineer

We are looking for a brilliant and hands-on Senior Hardware Engineer to join our electronics team in developing the next generation of Humanoid Robots. This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of AI, high-speed digital design, and advanced motion control.

As a key member of our multi-disciplinary team, you will own the hardware lifecycle—from high-level architecture and complex Altium board design to hands-on lab bring-up and full robotic integration.

What You Will Do:

• End-to-End Board Design: Lead the design, schematic capture, and layout of complex, high-density digital boards using Altium Designer.
• Advanced Computing Integration: Design and integrate systems around NVIDIA Jetson SOMs (Orin/Xavier) and FPGAs to support real-time Edge AI and vision processing.
• High-Speed Interconnects: Implement and optimize high-speed interfaces including DDR3/4/5, EtherCAT, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 3.x.
• Vision & Sensing: Design interfaces for high-performance cameras and sensors (MIPI CSI-2, GMSL/FPD-Link).
• Full Hardware Bring-up: Lead the "life-giving" process of new boards in the lab, including debugging, signal integrity (SI/PI) validation, and troubleshooting using advanced lab equipment.
• Power Supply Design: Design and implement robust Power Management (PMIC) solutions, including DC/DC converters (Buck/Boost), LDOs, and power distribution networks (PDN) tailored for high-performance computing and robotic actuators.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Mechanical Engineers on tight packaging, thermal management, and cabling constraints, and with Software/Firmware Engineers to define hardware-software interfaces (APIs/Registers).

Requirements:

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from a leading university.
• 5+ years of experience in complex digital board design and hardware development.
• Expertise in Altium Designer: Proven experience in high-density, multi-layer PCB design.
• Proven Bring-up Skills: Extensive experience in hands-on lab debugging and hardware-firmware integration.
• High-Speed Design Specialist: Deep understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, and layout constraints for high-speed signals (DDR, PCIe, Differential Pairs).
• Multi-disciplinary Mindset: Proven ability to work effectively with Mechanical and Software teams to solve system-level challenges.
• Communication Protocols: Experience with EtherCAT (highly preferred), Ethernet, 10G Fast Ethernet, CAN, SPI, and I2C.

Advantages:

• Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Jetson SOM development.
• Experience in Humanoid Robotics, drones, or high-performance motion control systems.
• Knowledge of FPGA design (Verilog/VHDL) for hardware validation.
• Experience with EMI/EMC mitigation in noisy environments (motor drivers/actuators).
