Electrical Engineer
Gradient Robotics, San Francisco
The role
We're looking for an Electrical Engineer to be the backbone of how Gradient Robotics reads and controls its machines. This is intentionally an end-to-end ownership role. You'll own electrical hardware design from concept to working system while partnering closely with mechanical and software teams on whatever is highest leverage at any given moment. This is a role for someone who loves bringing hard problems to life: you'll see a thorny instrumentation or controls challenge, research the right approach, design the electronics, and debug it until it works.
You'll touch every machine we build, which means real ownership and room to grow quickly. The impact is significant: the electronics you design become the nervous system of our robots, and the control interfaces you build let the whole team move faster.
What you will do
- Own electrical hardware design end-to-end: partner with mechanical engineers on instrumentation and actuation solutions, build out electronics systems using custom PCBs or off-the-shelf industrial components to read and control the machine, and debug the system and write firmware to give the software team a solid control interface
