• Own the overall electrical architecture and hardware development roadmap, driving key technical decisions, component selection, and system-level trade studies.
• Oversee end-to-end electrical hardware development, including schematic design, PCB layout, simulation, prototyping, board bring-up, validation, and production release.
• Drive the design and integration of complex electrical systems, including embedded compute platforms, high-speed interfaces, power conversion, distribution, and motor drive electronics.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, software, controls, AI, systems, and manufacturing teams to define requirements, resolve integration challenges, and optimize system performance.
• Establish engineering best practices, design review processes, testing standards, and documentation to ensure hardware quality, reliability, and scalability.
• Partner with suppliers and manufacturing teams to support component sourcing, design for manufacturability (DFM), production readiness, and hardware lifecycle management.
• Recruit, develop, and mentor a high-performing team while remaining hands-on in critical design decisions, technical problem-solving, and hardware debugging.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• 10+ years of electrical engineering experience developing complex electronic hardware, including significant technical leadership or engineering management experience.
• Proven experience leading electrical engineering teams and delivering complex hardware products from concept through production.
• Strong technical background in electrical system architecture, circuit design, PCB development, and hardware integration.
• Deep expertise in one or more areas of compute hardware, high-speed digital design, power electronics, or motor control, with broad understanding across the remaining disciplines.
• Experience with embedded systems, high-speed interfaces, power distribution, signal/power integrity, and electrical design for reliability.
• Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, design verification, and validation of complex electronic systems.
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills with the ability to balance technical execution, team development, and cross-functional priorities.

• Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• Experience leading electrical engineering teams in robotics, autonomous systems, electric vehicles, or industrial automation.
• Experience developing hardware for complex robotic platforms, including compute systems, motor drives, battery management, and power distribution.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer and electrical simulation tools such as LTspice, PLECS, or SI/PI analysis software.
• Experience scaling hardware engineering teams and transitioning products from rapid prototyping to volume manufacturing.
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC, functional safety, thermal management, and industrial hardware reliability requirements.

Maven Robotics designs, builds, and deploys intelligent robotics for logistics and manufacturing. Maven is building the first general-purpose robotics system for industrial work. Our mission is to activate autonomous labor at scale and build toward infinitely elastic industrial capacity. We’re a team of engineers, researchers, and operators who have spent our careers working on the hardest problems in AI, robotics, engineering, and autonomous systems. We work at the intersection of advanced research and real-world engineering, turning ideas into prototypes and deployed systems.

At Maven, we build around the realities of industrial work. The robots are designed from first principles for complex physical environments and rigorous commercial standards. They master real tasks that deliver immediate impact, industrial-grade reliability, and intelligence that compounds at scale. We’re growing an ambitious team of people who think in systems, move quickly, and are builders at heart.
