Designation: Robotics Engineer (Hardware)
Full-time · 1–3 years experience
About:
This is a full-stack electronics role weighted towards hardware. You will grow into owning the controller board from schematic and layout, through fabrication and bring-up, to the wiring and grounding that ties the robot together — and write the firmware that runs on it.
What you'll do:
● Design mixed-signal controller PCBs: power tree, component selection, schematic capture and design review (Fusion 360 or KiCad).
● Lay out multilayer boards: stackup, placement, decoupling, ground and return paths, and routing of noise-sensitive nets.
● Take boards through fabrication and assembly: fab outputs (Gerbers, drill, pick-and-place), BOM management, and coordinating with PCB vendors.
● Bring up and validate boards: rail and clock checks, bus signals on the scope, load and thermal checks, and root-causing board-level defects.
● Write firmware in C on 32-bit ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers: bring-up and test code for new boards, and drivers for sensors and field devices.
● Plan system-level electrical integration: connectors and wiring harnesses, cabling and termination, fusing, and grounding scheme.
● Maintain hardware documentation: schematics, BOMs, test points, bring-up reports, wiring diagrams and change history.
Must have
● B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Engineering or equivalent.
● Hands-on PCB design: schematic capture and multilayer layout in KiCad, Fusion 360, Altium or similar.
● PCB fundamentals: component selection and footprints, following the layout guidance in a datasheet, decoupling, grounding and return paths, and routing practices.
● Hardware side of digital interfaces — SPI, I²C, UART, GPIO, CAN/CAN-FD, RS-485, Ethernet — transceivers, termination and biasing.
● Working embedded C on 32-bit MCUs: able to bring up a board or set up configurations in a vendor ecosystem (STM32CubeIDE, Infineon PSOC Creator or similar), write or modify HAL-level drivers, and debug over SWD/JTAG.
● Fluency with lab instruments — oscilloscope, logic analyzer, power supply, electronic load, multimeter — and the habit of verifying on the wire, not just in the schematic.
● Comfortable with hand soldering, rework and probing on prototype boards.
● Version control discipline (Git) and clear documentation of designs, reports and defects.
Good to have:
● Robotics, AGV/AMR, automotive, or industrial automation background.
● Battery-powered systems: pack integration, BMS interfacing, and high-current layout.
● PCB design and IEC standards, and EMI/EMC fundamentals.
● Signal integrity and thermal analysis, including simulation where it helps.
● Designing test jigs and fixtures for board validation and production testing.
● Exposure to RTOS-based firmware or robotics middleware (FreeRTOS, ROS 2).
