Electrical Engineer - Compute and Sensing

As an Electrical Engineer at Boston Dynamics, you will play a role in the evolution of Atlas, our advanced humanoid robot. You will join a fast-moving team tackling the challenges of integrating high-performance processing and user interface elements within a densely packed and complex electromechanical system.

Boston Dynamics is seeking candidates with a passion for all things robotics. You will work hands-on — from the bench to the product — building, debugging, and validating systems ranging from component-level prototypes to fully integrated humanoid robots.

The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in circuit theory and a hunger to learn from world-class engineers. To thrive in this role, you must be able to work efficiently on multiple development threads in separate, evolving contexts.

How You Will Make An Impact / Day-to-Day Activities

• Design electronics for use in advanced robotics, including power, analog, and microcontroller based circuits
• Review designs, conduct failure analysis, and debug systems using strong circuit analysis fundamentals
• Use schematic capture and PCB layout software (We use Altium)
• Work cross-functionally with electrical, mechanical, and software engineers to design and optimize PCBAs with challenging mechanical constraints
• Use a wide variety of lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMM’s, power supplies, programmable loads, and spectrum analyzers to validate designs or troubleshoot electrical engineering problems
• Utilize Linux command-line tools and scripting (Python/Bash/etc.) to configure radios/networks, execute tools, and automate testing
• Develop comprehensive design documents and test plans/reports
  
  

We Are Looking For / You Bring

It is not expected that candidates would possess all of these qualifications.

• Education: BS or MS (preferred) in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Design: 0 years experience in electrical design (internships, research, or co-op experience preferred). Exposure to hardware development through school projects, capstone design, or robotics competitions
• Interest: Strong interest in robotics, automation, or embedded systems engineering.
• Scripting: Exposure with scripting language (e.g. Python, LabView, and/or MATLAB)
  
  

Nice To Have

• Simulation: Knowledge of electrical simulation tools (e.g. SPICE)
• OS: Exposure to Linux command line
• High-Speed Digital: Experience implementing ethernet, PCIe, or other high speed data technologies
  
  

We 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.
