Electrical Engineer - Atlas

As an Electrical Engineer at Boston Dynamics, you will be a part of a small, fast-moving robotics team and will help with the design, construction, and troubleshooting of compact and reliable electrical systems in robotics. Every day you will work on electrical system designs, dense electromechanical integrations, PCB layouts, and frequently contribute hands-on in the lab. This includes tasks ranging from building and debugging electrical small test systems to fully integrated prototype robots. Robotics includes a broad range of technical subjects within electrical engineering and a strong grasp of mechanical context. To thrive in this role, you must be able to work quickly and adapt to constantly evolving design considerations while keeping track of several development threads at the same time.  

Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation

solutions for industrial applications, logistics and warehouses.

How you will make an impact:

• Help design electrical systems in advanced robotics
• Use simulation to analyze circuits and systems such as LTSpice
• Review designs and conduct failure analysis and debug activities using circuit analysis fundamentals
• Use schematic capture and PCB layout software (We use Altium)
• Develop analog circuit designs for all sorts of embedded sensors in robots
• Modify firmware in C/C++ in order to perform PCB design validation testing
• Use your working understanding of command-line Linux to configure networks and run software on robots
• Use a wide variety of lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMM’s, power supplies, programmable loads, and spectrum analyzers to validate designs or figure out hard electrical engineering problems

Desired Experience:

Any of the experience listed below would be applicable in this role, it is not expected that candidates would possess all of these qualifications.

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering
• Experience implementing high speed data technologies in PCB-based devices and systems
• Experience designing power electronics from 50W to 10kW
• Experience using or designing motors and/or motor drives, or other closed loop actuation systems
• Experience designing wireless devices, antennas, or other RF applications
• Working knowledge of Solidworks or other mechanical CAD experience
• Experience with Python, LabView, or MATLAB
• Experience in Verilog or VHDL

We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas for this position.

Boston Dynamics will never ask you to divulge your personal financial or account information as part of its recruiting process.
