Electrical Engineer, Atlas

Electrical Engineer, Atlas

As an Electrical Engineer 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.
