Senior Electrical Engineer - Robotics (m/f/d)
On-siteMunich, Bavaria, Germany
Job Summary
Design and execute schematic capture, multi-layer PCB layout, and cable harness design while driving end-to-end prototyping from initial concepts through series production. Establish engineering processes, including QA frameworks and operational gates, to ensure quality, compliance, and safety across autonomous robotic development. Optimize 24V/48V power distribution and motor/servo drive integration, collaborating cross-functionally with firmware teams on board bring-up and system debugging. Manage DFM/DFT and supplier relationships to oversee BOM costs and component sourcing. This role balances fast-paced iteration with pragmatic QA tailored to development stages, requiring full-cycle ownership of hardware platforms from early prototyping to manufacturing.
Required Qualifications
- Completed vocational training or a degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a comparable field
- Several years of experience in full-cycle electrical design (analog, digital, and power circuits) across multiple companies, taking products from concept to market
- Deep technical background in Altium, multi-layer PCB layout, microcontrollers (ARM Cortex, STM32), motion systems (24/48V power, motor drives, encoders, sensor interfaces), and EMC/thermal layout strategies
- Solid grasp of DFM/DFT principles, cable harness design, signal integrity, and direct collaboration with contract manufacturers
- Proactive, end-to-end ownership mindset with a pragmatic working style and a drive to establish scalable processes in a high-growth environment
- Very good English skills
Desired Qualifications
- Familiarity with industrial protocols (EtherCAT, Profinet, Modbus, CAN, Ethernet)
- Exposure to relevant standards/safety concepts (CE/Machinery Directive, ISO 10218, EMC standards, STO, PL/SIL)
- German language skills
