Electronics / Embedded Robotics Engineer

We are looking for a skilled Electronics / Embedded Engineer to enhance our team. This role requires a strong background in electronics design, embedded firmware, and hardware deployed in harsh environments. The successful candidate will be instrumental in building the electronic systems and firmware that connect our AI stack to real machines and keep them running reliably in the field.

What you'll do

• Design and bring up custom electronics – schematics, PCB layout, and component selection – for sensor interfacing, power distribution, and machine control.
• Develop and validate embedded firmware on microcontrollers for sensor acquisition, actuator drive, and safety-relevant functions.
• Own the electrical architecture of the machine kit, covering power budgeting, protection, grounding, EMC, and rugged wire harness design.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to integrate hardware and firmware into the wider robotic system, from prototype through field testing to repeatable production.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Proficient in embedded C/C++ on ARM Cortex-M or comparable microcontrollers.
• Proven experience taking electronics from schematic to working board using tools such as Altium or KiCad.
• Solid understanding of communication protocols (CAN/CAN FD, I2C, SPI, UART, Ethernet) and the instruments used to debug them.
• Practical experience deploying electronics and wire harnesses in adverse industrial or automotive conditions, including power protection and signal integrity.

Nice to have

• Practical experience with off-highway machinery, automotive, or other safety-relevant platforms.
• Familiarity with functional safety and EMC standards such as ISO 13849, IEC 61508, or CISPR 25.
• Knowledge of electrical integration for Linux-based compute platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson or industrial PCs.
• Experience with motors, actuators, valve drivers, and closed-loop control.

What they offer

• Attractive compensation package and stock options.
• Assistance with relocation to Berlin.
• Beverages on-site and regular social events.
• Engage with top-tier researchers, engineers, and thought leaders.
