Team: Research & Development

This role is an opportunity to take a technical leadership position within Hidonix’s R&D organization, owning the electrical architecture behind our next-generation robotics systems. As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will drive system-level design decisions, lead complex hardware development efforts, and mentor engineers while remaining deeply hands‑on.

The ideal candidate will design advanced multi‑layer PCBs, power systems, RF subsystems, and sensor integrations, taking products from early concept through validation and into low‑volume production. This role works closely with mechanical, firmware, robotics, and product teams and is ideal for an engineer who thrives on ownership, rigor, and building hardware that ships.

• Own system‑level electrical architecture for complex embedded and robotic platforms.
• Lead end‑to‑end design of high‑complexity, multi‑layer PCBs — from schematic capture through layout oversight, fabrication, validation, and revision.
• Define board stack‑ups, impedance requirements, power‑domain partitioning, and interface strategies for high‑performance ARM‑based systems.
• Set component selection strategy, qualify critical parts, maintain BOMs, and guide vendor engagement through prototype and low‑volume production.
• Review and approve schematics, layouts, and design changes across multiple boards or subsystems.

• Architect robust, high‑efficiency multi‑rail power delivery systems supporting processors, sensors, motors, and communication modules.
• Lead lithium‑polymer battery management, charging, protection, and safety architecture for portable and wearable robotic systems.
• Analyze and optimize power integrity, transient behavior, thermal performance, and system efficiency under real‑world operating conditions.
• Guide power‑related trade studies and risk assessments.

• Own RF subsystem architecture, including antenna strategy, coexistence planning, and module integration for Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, and cellular.
• Lead high‑speed interface design (DDR, eMMC, USB, MIPI, PCIe where applicable), ensuring signal integrity across complex stack‑ups.
• Use VNAs, spectrum analyzers, SI/PI simulation tools, and lab measurements to validate and optimize RF and high‑speed performance.
• Drive EMI/EMC mitigation strategies early in the design cycle.

• Architect and integrate IMUs, GNSS receivers, barometers, cameras, and other sensing subsystems into low‑noise, high‑reliability designs.
• Design and review analog front ends, signal‑conditioning circuits, protection networks, and grounding strategies.
• Lead performance benchmarking, environmental testing, and design iteration for robustness and manufacturability.

• Lead prototype bring‑up, electrical validation, and design verification at board and system levels.
• Drive structured root‑cause analysis for complex hardware failures and guide corrective design actions.
• Set validation strategies, test plans, and acceptance criteria aligned with product and system requirements.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, firmware, and robotics teams to ensure tight electromechanical integration.

• Mentor and technically guide mid‑level and junior electrical engineers.
• Lead design reviews and contribute to engineering standards, best practices, and documentation quality.
• Maintain rigorous design documentation, revision control, and release artifacts.
• Participate in roadmap planning, architectural discussions, and cross‑functional technical decision‑making.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
• 7–10+ years of professional experience in embedded hardware, robotics, or complex electronic systems.
• Deep expertise in multi‑layer PCB design and review (Altium, KiCad, or equivalent), including controlled impedance and high‑speed layout.
• Strong foundation in analog and digital circuit…
