About the Role<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are seeking a multidisciplinary Robotics Systems, Electrical & Communications Engineer<\/strong> to help architect, integrate, and test the electronic systems at the heart of our robotic platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll work across traditional engineering boundaries\u2014connecting requirements, electronics, power, sensors, embedded computing, communications, antennas, software, and mechanical hardware into a functioning system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This position is contingent upon successful SBIR or other government contract award<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You’ll Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Develop system architectures, requirements, interfaces, and engineering trade studies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Design and integrate electrical power, computing, sensing, and communications architectures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Select and integrate processors, sensors, radios, antennas, batteries, power electronics, and other components.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Develop wiring diagrams, interface documentation, and electrical schematics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Support PCB and custom electronics development where appropriate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Develop communications architectures for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-ground connectivity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Evaluate RF performance, communications range, bandwidth, latency, interference, and link reliability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Integrate navigation and positioning sensors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Perform power, link-budget, and system-performance analyses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Develop system-level verification and validation approaches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Conduct bench, ground, environmental, and field testing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Troubleshoot complex problems spanning hardware, software, communications, and mechanical interfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Help develop system architecture and technical roadmaps for future products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We’re Looking For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Understanding of electrical systems, embedded computing, sensors, and communications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Strong systems-thinking and troubleshooting abilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Experience integrating multiple hardware and software components into a working system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Ability to document architectures, interfaces, requirements, and test results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Comfortable working directly with test equipment and prototype hardware.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Experience with RF systems, antennas, Wi-Fi, cellular, mesh networking, GNSS, embedded Linux, microcontrollers, PCB design, power systems, cybersecurity, systems engineering, UAVs, or robotics is a plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Who Will Thrive Here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      This role is ideal for someone who naturally asks, “How does the whole system work?”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We’re looking for an engineer who can move between a system architecture diagram, an electrical schematic, a communications link analysis, a software interface, and a prototype on the workbench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Experience gained through student engineering teams, research laboratories, internships, personal projects, or military service is just as interesting to us as traditional industry experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As an early member of the engineering team, you’ll have substantial influence over the electrical and systems architecture of our first products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Important:<\/strong> This is a contingent position. Selection does not constitute a guarantee of employment. Hiring and the anticipated start date depend upon successful contract or SBIR award and availability of program funding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
