Mechatronics Engineer, Robotics
TAR, San Francisco Bay Area
The role
As the Mechatronics engineer you own the machine’s electrical integration and firmware: power, motor control, sensing, wiring, and the real-time control that makes a violent, vibrating piece of heavy equipment behave like a precision robot. The mechanical lead owns structure and mechanisms; the electrical engineer owns board design and fleet-wide architecture; you make it all work as one machine. This is a mid to senior level individual contributor role based at our San Francisco robotics facility, with regular field time at our GW-scale campus in West Texas.
What you will do
- Own the driver’s electrical integration, building on board designs and fleet architecture from the electrical engineering team: battery and power distribution, motor controllers, e-stop and safety circuits, and connectors and harnessing that survive dust, heat, and vibration.
