As an Electrical Engineer, Atlas at Boston Dynamics, you will be a part of a growing, fast-moving robotics team. Every day you will work on designing compact, reliable electronics used in dense electromechanical systems. You will frequently work hands-on, in the lab, building and debugging electrical systems, ranging from small test setups to fully integrated prototype robots. Robotics includes a broad range of technical subjects within electrical engineering. To thrive in this role, you must be able to work efficiently on multiple development threads in separate, evolving contexts.
Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications, logistics and warehouses.
How you will make an impact:
Design electronics for use in advanced robotics
Develop designs for power, analog, and microcontroller based circuits
Work cross functionally with mechanical engineers to miniaturize PCBs and increase performance
Review designs, conduct failure analysis, and debug systems using strong circuit analysis fundamentals
Use schematic capture and PCB layout software (We use Altium)
Develop comprehensive design and test documentation
Use your working understanding of command-line Linux to configure networks and run software on robots
Use a wide variety of lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMM’s, power supplies, programmable loads, and spectrum analyzers to validate designs or figure out hard electrical engineering problems
Desired Experience:
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering
Experience designing power electronics
Experience using or designing motors and motor drives
Experience implementing ethernet, PCIe, or other high speed data technologies
Strong knowledge of PCB fabrication and assembly
Experience with Python, LabView, or MATLAB
Working knowledge of Solidworks or similar mechanical CAD tools
We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas for this position.
Boston Dynamics will never ask you to divulge your personal financial or account information as part of its recruiting process.
