The role

We’re looking for an Electrical Engineer to design, build, and validate the electronics that power Verne’s robots. You’ll own electrical systems from requirements and schematics through PCB layout, prototype bring-up, integration, and reliable operation on real hardware.

You’ll work closely with mechanical and software engineers to connect power, compute, actuators, and sensors into a system that is safe to test, straightforward to diagnose, and practical to manufacture and service.

What you will do

Design robot electronics: Develop schematics and PCBs for power distribution, sensing, communications, and embedded control; select components and maintain bills of materials.
Integrate the electrical system: Define interfaces, connectors, cable harnesses, grounding, and protection for computers, motor drives, actuators, encoders, and other sensors.
Bring up and debug hardware: Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, bench supplies, and electronic loads to investigate power, timing, signal integrity, and communication failures.
Validate performance and reliability: Create test plans and fixtures, measure electrical and thermal behavior, investigate failures, and document design changes.
Work across hardware and software: Collaborate on embedded interfaces, diagnostics, fault handling, and emergency-stop integration; verify behavior on the robot.
Support repeatable builds: Prepare manufacturing files and assembly documentation, work with suppliers, and improve test coverage, serviceability, and component availability.

What you need

B.S. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Hands-on experience taking electronic hardware from schematic and PCB design through assembly, bring-up, and testing.
Strong fundamentals in analog and digital circuits, power electronics, grounding, and circuit protection.
Proficiency with an electronic design tool such as Altium or KiCad and confidence reading component datasheets.
Ability to diagnose hardware failures systematically using bench equipment and clear measurements.
Experience integrating embedded systems and common interfaces such as CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, USB, or Ethernet.
Clear technical documentation and the ability to collaborate closely with mechanical and software engineers.

Nice to have

Robotics, mechatronics, motor drives, encoders, or sensor interfaces.
Embedded C/C++ or Python for board bring-up, diagnostics, and automated testing.
EMI/EMC troubleshooting, design for manufacturing and test, or supporting hardware through production.
Electrical safety and fault handling in machines that move and interact with their environment.

Details and compensation

Location: South San Francisco, California; on-site.
Employment: Full-time.
Annual base salary: $140,000–$250,000 USD.
