About the company
Our client is a robotics and automation company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the electrical side of heavy-duty machinery, covering design, documentation, physical build and debugging. You will help the engineering group move from individual prototype units toward a repeatable production process, collaborating with technicians and colleagues from other disciplines.
What you'll do
- Diagnose, integrate and scale the electrical systems of large machines, from power and motion components to sensing, control and cabling.
- Produce and maintain schematics, wiring diagrams, harness designs and supporting documentation that set shared standards for later builds.
- Spend time on the shop floor handling cable routing, installation, system bring-up, testing and fault resolution with technicians and fellow engineers.
- Rework electrical subsystems as needs change, using field learnings to make designs sturdier and simpler to build in volume.
- Help the organization shift from prototype units to repeatable production as manufacturing capacity grows.
- Work side by side with mechanical, software, manufacturing and hardware colleagues so the electrical design fits the complete machine.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Roughly 3 or more years of professional electrical engineering experience.
- A track record on sizeable physical equipment, not only circuit boards or compact electronics.
- Practical, hands-on experience with wiring, harness assembly and integration on real machines.
- Experience choosing and integrating motion, sensing and control components, including PLCs.
- Comfort working in a small, fast-moving research and development setting.
- A degree in electrical or mechanical engineering, or a related discipline.
- Living in the San Francisco Bay Area or ready to relocate there, and able to work on-site most days of the week.
- Existing authorization to work in the US without new H-1B sponsorship (transfers are fine).
Bonus points
- Prior time at a company building robots, electric vehicles or autonomous vehicles.
- Skill using CAD software to create schematics, wiring diagrams and harness designs.
