Electrical EngineerAs an Electrical Engineer at Boston Dynamics, you will be a part of a small, fast-moving robotics team and will help with the design, construction, and troubleshooting of compact and reliable electrical systems in robotics. Every day you will work on electrical system designs, dense electromechanical integrations, PCB layouts, and frequently contribute hands-on in the lab. This includes tasks ranging from building and debugging electrical small test systems to fully integrated prototype robots.
Robotics includes a broad range of technical subjects within electrical engineering and a strong grasp of mechanical context. To thrive in this role, you must be able to work quickly and adapt to constantly evolving design considerations while keeping track of several development threads at the same time.Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do.
Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications, logistics and warehouses.How you will make an impact:Help design electrical systems in advanced roboticsUse simulation software to analyze circuits and systems such as LTSpice and SiWaveReview designs and conduct failure analysis and debug activities using circuit analysis fundamentalsUse schematic capture and PCB layout software (We use Altium)Develop digital and power subsystem designs for processors within the robotModify firmware in C/C++ in order to perform PCB design validation testingUse your working understanding of command-line Linux to configure networks and run software on robotsUse a wide variety of lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMM's, power supplies, programmable loads, and spectrum analyzers to validate designs or figure out hard electrical engineering problemsDesired Experience:BS or MS in Electrical or Computer EngineeringExperience implementing high speed data interfaces such as PCIe / USB3 / XFI / CSIExperience designing wireless devices, antennas, or other RF applicationsExperience in Verilog or VHDL programmingExperience designing power electronics from 50W to 500WWorking knowledge of CATIA or other mechanical CAD experienceExperience with Python, LabView, or MATLABWe are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas for this position.
