Answer yes to any of these and you'll fit right in here. We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply cutting edge advances in robotics and software to solve real-world challenges that will transform our customers' experiences in ways we can't even image yet. We invent new improvements every day.  Job Overview – Seeking a talented and motivated Electrical Engineers to work on system design, implementation and release to manufacturing. This candidate will support the Electrical Engineering and Sensor Team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in system design, complex analog and digital circuit design, possess good communication skills, and have the ability to own a large component of a system. Additionally, the candidate should have past experience and a strong interest in designing, evaluating and testing sensors (e.g. LiDAR, Stereo Camera, Time-of-Flight, mmWave radar, and other new sensing technologies). This candidate must have the ability to work well both independently and in team settings. This position reports directly to the Electrical Engineering & Sensor Team Manager.

This position will work onsite in our Boston or Seattle Robotic Drone creation Laboratory. We offer 2 days a week work from home. We are looking for professionals that has 5-15 years of working or equivalent scholar experience or  to fill the Level 5 positions and 15+ years of working or equivalent scholar experience for the Level 6 positions. The total compensation for these positions will be more than competitive. 

Some of the key job functions of the Electrical Engineer include: · Working with an interdisciplinary team to execute product designs from concept to production including design, prototyping, validation, testing and certification. · Conduct experiments, data collection, perform system and sub-system level testing. · Owning a large component of a subsystem from concept to fielding. · Coordinate with all other cross-functions to ensure project success. · Possess a thorough understanding of technical principles and concepts in Electrical Engineering. · Past experience with and an extreme interest in sensor development, evaluation and test. · Writing and developing functional specifications, design verification plans and test procedures. · Architecting, designing and implementing complex embedded system, analog and digital circuit design and systems debugging. · Supporting product releases to manufacturing and customer deployments. · Execute tasks to aggressive schedules and ability to multi-task. · Establish development processes to meet industry standards for functionally safe control systems (IEC 61508).
