Principal Electronics Engineer

Principal Electronics Engineer

At Andromeda Robotics, we're not just imagining the future of human-robot relationships, we're building it. Abi is the first emotionally intelligent humanoid companion robot, designed to bring care, conversation, and joy to the people who need it most. Backed by tier-1 investors and with customers already deploying Abi across aged care and healthcare, we're scaling fast, and we're doing it with an engineering-first culture that's obsessed with pushing the limits of what's possible.

This is a rare moment to join: we're post-technical validation, pre-ubiquity, and building out the team that will take Abi from early access to global scale.

As a Principal Electronics Engineer at Andromeda Robotics, you'll be the technical lead for Abi's entire electrical system. You won't just design the system; you'll architect its core from the ground up, setting the direction for sensor fusion, power architecture, and embedded control across multiple generations of the product. You'll work hands-on to tackle the most difficult technical challenges; from fundamental architecture decisions to high-stakes, system-level validation.

You'll be the key technical voice collaborating with mechanical, software, and design teams, ensuring seamless, high-reliability systems that power Abi's ability to connect with people in deeply human ways. You'll champion rigorous engineering standards, mentor a team of engineers, and set the technical vision for hardware at Andromeda. By combining first-principles thinking with detail-obsessed craftsmanship, you'll help make Abi not just technically world-class, but emotionally alive.

How You'll Make an Impact:

• Architect and deliver the production-ready electrical architecture, from concept through to manufacturing, ensuring Abi's hardware is robust, scalable, and emotionally expressive.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance across multiple projects, collaborating closely with mechanical, software, and industrial design teams to seamlessly integrate sensors, power systems, and embedded platforms.
• Own the system-level design, defining best-in-class practices for schematic and PCB layout (Altium or equivalent) with a focus on signal integrity, power integrity, and DFM across the entire product.
• Conduct deep-dive circuit analysis and debugging on the most complex, high-stakes system issues to refine Abi's performance and prepare her for real-world challenges.
• Drive the transition to volume manufacturing, including setting up robust QA, compliance, and supplier qualification processes to ensure excellence at scale.
• Provide foundational support and expertise in embedded firmware (C, Rust, or equivalent) to bring up complex systems and enable real-time responsiveness.
• Champion technical excellence across the team, leading architectural reviews and mentoring senior and junior engineers alike, building a culture of creativity and continuous improvement.
