Electrical Engineer (m/f/d)
Agile Robots SEFull Description
About The Role
We are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our team. You will design, develop, and validate the electrical systems of a humanoid robot platform including power distribution, motor control electronics, sensor interfaces, and communication networks and ensure robust integration with embedded firmware and our ROS2-based software stack.
This role will play a central part in shaping the robot’s electrical architecture, owning design decisions across schematics, PCB design, and system-level integration as the platform scales to new modules and deployments.
Your Responsibilities
Short-Term (Initial Focus)
* Design and review electrical schematics for actuator controllers, sensor boards, and power systems
* Support PCB bring-up, validation, and debugging of custom electronics
* Define and implement power distribution, grounding, and protection strategies
* Integrate sensors (force/torque, encoders, IMUs) at the electrical and interface level
* Debug signal integrity, EMI, and communication issues (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN)
* Support hardware bring-up of new actuator and gripper modules
Long-Term (Growth Path)
* Own the electrical architecture for new robot subsystems and modules
* Develop scalable standards for schematics, PCB design, and electrical interfaces
* Lead electrical design reviews and cross-team technical decision-making
* Collaborate with embedded, mechatronics, and software teams on hardware–software co-design
* Drive improvements in reliability, safety, and manufacturability of electrical systems
Essential Skills
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
* Strong experience with schematic design and PCB development
* Knowledge of motor drivers, power electronics, and sensor interfaces
* Experience with communication protocols: UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet/UDP
* Hands-on debugging skills using oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and multimeter
* Understanding of embedded systems constraints and real-time hardware behavior
Beneficial Skills
* Experience designing electronics for robotics or motion control systems
* Familiarity with servo and motor control platforms (Dynamixel, ODrive, or similar)
* Experience with safety, protection circuits, and EMC/EMI considerations
* Exposure to ROS2-based robotic systems
What We Offer
* A dynamic high-tech company combined with financial soundness and world-class investors.
* Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment.
* Lots of development opportunities in the context of our continued growth.
* Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth.
* Corporate Benefits Program that covers health, mobility, and learning with 100€ net per month.
* Modern office facilities with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment.
