Electrical Engineer
Carnegie Robotics builds custom robotics systems for government and industry. We also manufacture and sell rugged robotics components that allow other organizations to develop their own robots. We’re small enough to have many of the benefits of working for a startup, but we have a very broad customer base, making us more stable and recession-proof than most organizations our size. We are developing and deploying cutting edge technology in robotics, perception, and machine learning. Many of our development efforts go on to have real-world impact in robots that clean floors, find land mines, enable the development efforts of other organizations, and much more. This is challenging, exciting work, and we are committed to building the company culture and diverse team that will allow our continued success.
We are looking for creative, energetic Electrical Engineers with great product development skills to work on a variety of interesting and challenging robotic perception and control projects. In this position, you will join a team of robotics experts to work with advanced sensors and autonomous robots from the ground up. We’re looking for great engineers who love their work and take pride in building solid, rigorously tested systems. Positions are open for entry-level, experienced, and senior electrical engineers.
What we’re looking for:
- A degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field (required).
- Strong technical skills in circuit design and PCB layout (required). Altium experience is preferred, but not required.
- A positive attitude and great problem-solving skills (required).
- Solid background in engineering debug analysis including the use of oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and signal generators (required).
- Experience designing for rugged environmental specifications, including thermal and EMI/EMC (preferred).
- Experience with robotics and related areas, such as sensor interfaces, DC-DC converters, motor drivers, transceivers, embedded microcontrollers, bus protocols (such as RS232, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet) and optimizing for battery powered systems (preferred).
- Experience authoring design documentation: concept of operations, requirements, and hardware design specifications (preferred).
- Experience with multi-layer PCB design – split planes, signal integrity analysis, controlled impedance, stack-up definition, component library generation. Understanding of ground loops and mitigation strategies (preferred),
- Experience with vendor management; purchasing, RFQ’s, PCB fabrication/assembly services (preferred).
- Experience with BOM management and releasing products to a production group (preferred)
- Working knowledge of at least one programming language (preferred)
