Senior Electrical Engineer

About the company

Our client is a robotics and automation company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the electrical side of heavy-duty machinery, covering design, documentation, physical build and debugging. You will help the engineering group move from individual prototype units toward a repeatable production process, collaborating with technicians and colleagues from other disciplines.

What you'll do

• Diagnose, integrate and scale the electrical systems of large machines, from power and motion components to sensing, control and cabling.
• Produce and maintain schematics, wiring diagrams, harness designs and supporting documentation that set shared standards for later builds.
• Spend time on the shop floor handling cable routing, installation, system bring-up, testing and fault resolution with technicians and fellow engineers.
• Rework electrical subsystems as needs change, using field learnings to make designs sturdier and simpler to build in volume.
• Help the organization shift from prototype units to repeatable production as manufacturing capacity grows.
• Work side by side with mechanical, software, manufacturing and hardware colleagues so the electrical design fits the complete machine.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• Roughly 3 or more years of professional electrical engineering experience.
• A track record on sizeable physical equipment, not only circuit boards or compact electronics.
• Practical, hands-on experience with wiring, harness assembly and integration on real machines.
• Experience choosing and integrating motion, sensing and control components, including PLCs.
• Comfort working in a small, fast-moving research and development setting.
• A degree in electrical or mechanical engineering, or a related discipline.
• Living in the San Francisco Bay Area or ready to relocate there, and able to work on-site most days of the week.
• Existing authorization to work in the US without new H-1B sponsorship (transfers are fine).

Bonus points

• Prior time at a company building robots, electric vehicles or autonomous vehicles.
• Skill using CAD software to create schematics, wiring diagrams and harness designs.
