Job Summary
Electrical Engineer on the Surgery & Robot Hardware Team designing, verifying, and transitioning custom electronics systems with a focus on power electronics. Responsibilities include motor drives and controls, power distribution architectures, robotics stage designs, camera power systems, manufacturing automation, and firmware enabling these devices. Must have strong background in power electronics (DC/DC converters, BMS, protection), embedded firmware for power systems, EMC/ESD/thermal/safety considerations, and a track record of delivering across requirements, schematic, layout, manufacturing, and testing. Preferred candidates will have a portfolio of hardware designs and experience with safety-critical applications. Compensation includes base salary and RSU equity; base range is $105,000–$175,500 USD; full-time benefits.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience
- Professional experience delivering on all phases of electronics design (requirements, part selection, schematic, layout, manufacturing, test)
- Strong demonstrated depth in Power Electronics: Experience designing custom power conversion, distribution, eFusing, and battery management systems in the low-to-medium power range (1W–2kW)
- DC/DC converters (phase shifted full bridge, LLC, interleaved boost, isolated topologies)
- Motor drive inverters and control electronics
- Power distribution and protection architectures (eFusing, load switching, fault isolation)
- Battery management systems (BMS) including cell balancing, protection, and state estimation
- Thermal management, efficiency optimization, and high-reliability design for medical/robotics environments
- Have developed embedded firmware for your power systems design. Examples include control theory modeling for converters, control implementation on a microcontroller, power telemetry, battery state estimation, and power sequencing
- Practical electronics design knowledge including designing for EMC, ESD, thermals, safety, and packaging
- Preferred Qualifications: A portfolio showcasing your hardware designs (especially power electronics projects)
- Demonstrable experience developing electronics for safety-critical systems such as medical devices, aerospace, automotive, or military
- Altium experience
