The Role
Design and iterate hand-scale electronics: schematic and PCB layout, motor-drive stages, current sensing, low-latency sensing-to-actuation signal chains, harnessing and interconnects. Support board bring-up, debugging, and validation through rapid prototypes and collaborate with firmware engineers to achieve high-fidelity teleoperation.
Summary Generated by Built In

At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.

You will own the electronics that sense and drive the hand: motor-control boards, current sensing, and the low-latency signal chain that makes teleoperation feel immediate. You will work in tightly constrained, hand-scale volumes.

What You'll Do
  • Own schematic design and board layout for the hand system's electronics

  • Develop motor-control electronics, including drive stages and current sensing for torque and grasp-force estimation

  • Minimize latency through the sensing-to-actuation signal chain — teleoperation fidelity depends on it

  • Design sensing, harnessing, and interconnects within severely constrained hand-scale volumes

  • Support board bring-up, debug, and validation through rapid prototype iterations

What You Bring
  • Expert PCB layout skills, including dense boards in constrained, odd form factors

  • Hands-on experience with motor-control electronics, including drive stages and current sensing

  • Deep understanding of signal latency and its impact on closed-loop control and teleoperation

  • 5+ years of complex EE design and EE systems experience

Nice to Have
  • Experience with encoders and tactile or force sensing

  • EMI/EMC mitigation experience in compact motor-drive systems

  • Comfort collaborating with firmware engineers on board bring-up
