Electrical Engineer

About The Company

A fast-growing robotics company operating in the space and aerospace sector is building next-generation robotic systems designed to support future in-orbit operations. The team is developing highly dexterous, teleoperated robotic platforms intended to automate complex tasks in microgravity environments.

Location: Onsite, New York, NY

Employment Type: Full-time

Backed by strong early-stage investment and working closely with major aerospace stakeholders, the company is entering a critical phase of development, moving from advanced prototyping toward real-world orbital testing. This is an opportunity to join a technically ambitious team at a pivotal moment and directly contribute to hardware that will operate in space.

As an Electrical Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, building, and integrating the electronics that power advanced robotic systems. You will work hands‑on across the full product lifecycle, from early prototypes through testing and into flight‑ready hardware. This role offers a high level of ownership and the chance to see your work deployed in space.

• Design and integrate embedded electronics for teleoperated robotic systems, focusing on reliability in microgravity environments.
• Take electronic designs from concept through to production‑ready PCBs, collaborating closely with mechanical and software teams.
• Develop and optimise embedded firmware for motor control, sensors, and communication interfaces.
• Design power systems including battery packs, battery management systems, regulation, and power distribution.
• Integrate actuators, sensors, and communication hardware into a cohesive robotic platform.
• Select and integrate COTS hardware such as sensors, motor drivers, ESCs, and embedded compute.
• Prototype and test custom PCBs for control, sensing, safety, and low‑voltage systems.
• Implement safety mechanisms including watchdogs, failsafes, thermal limits, and hard kill systems.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong experience with PCB design and circuit prototyping using tools such as Altium, Eagle, or KiCad.
• Hands‑on experience with embedded systems and Linux‑based platforms (e.g., STM
  32, Jetson, Raspberry Pi).
• Solid background in power electronics, battery systems, and low‑power embedded design.
• Proficiency in C and/or C++ and Python for hardware integration and control.

• Experience with ROS and real‑time motor control.
• Exposure to EMI/EMC testing or radiation‑tolerant electronics.
• Background in control systems, kinematics, or actuator dynamics.
• Experience mentoring or leading engineers.

• Competitive base salary in the range of $120,000 to $200,000, depending on experience.
• Meaningful equity as an early‑stage team member.
• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision.
• Access to advanced hardware, tools, and a fast‑moving engineering environment.
• The opportunity to work on technology that will be deployed in orbit.
