Job Description

Shift is a new start-up creating breakthrough technologies in the growing Personal Mobility vertical. Shift is creating the world’s first pair of robotic shoes that easily strap to your everyday shoes and enable you to walk 150% faster without any extra effort. The company's ultimate purpose is to create products that allow for efficient and sustainable freedom of movement for everyone on the planet.

The speed of the Shift Shoes is automatically adjusted in real-time based upon a user's gait. The onboard computers use machine learning algorithms to adapt to user walking speeds, thereby making them a natural extension of the person's legs.

We are a fully funded startup in the late phases of product development. As an early member of our team, you will have a massive opportunity to influence the growth of our company. Shift Robotics is looking for an in-house electronic and electrical engineer to move the design into production, as well as to create the next-gen product. We are looking for highly motivated, determined problem-solvers with a rigorous attention to detail.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• You will be responsible for the electrical design from end-to-end for the innovative robotic shoes: from concept through architecture and design, simulation and analysis, R&D, test and manufacture to production.
• You will work with the firmware team to participate in architecture and code review.
• You will interact with a mechanical engineering team to design a tightly integrated electro-mechanical system.
• You will be responsible for writing firmware scripts and example codes to validate hardware solutions.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Solid experience in PCB design and optimizing component placements and routing for motor control and minimal EMC.
• System integration experience of embedded systems with electronics, firmware, and software.
• Experienced in the use of MCU and IC devices and their peripheral circuitry including signal conditioning, voltage level translators, etc.
• Solid experience in board bring-ups including reworking and soldering.
• Comfortable designing and testing board-level power supplies.
• Familiar with analog and power circuitry
• Proficient with standard EE tools (scopes, digital analyzers etc.)
• Proficient in Altium Design
• Experience in JTAG/SWO.
• Basic level of low-level programming (register access and configuration) for hardware V&V
• Experience in Cypress and ST processors is a plus.

WHAT WE OFFER:

• Competitive compensation
• OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTICIPATION IN OUR EMPLOYEE OPTIONS PROGRAMS
• 401K retirement plan
• Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance
• A flexible discretionary time-off policy + 10 paid annual holidays + one floating holiday
• Flexible time off and remote work policy
