Electrical Engineer (Humanoid Robotics Hardware)

Nirvana Robotics builds and deploys humanoid robots that work on real factory floors. The team is looking for an Electrical Engineer to own the electrical design of its robotic arms and humanoids.

What you'll do

• Own the end-to-end electrical design for arms and humanoids: power distribution boards, motor-driver units, sensor PCBs and interconnect harnessing.
• Design and lay out multilayer, mixed-signal and high-current PCBs with a focus on power and signal integrity.
• Design power distribution, DC-DC conversion, fusing and protection for high-power actuators and sensitive compute rails.
• Integrate motor drivers, gate drivers and current sensing for brushless actuators with the controls and firmware teams.
• Run bench bring-up, hardware debugging, thermal analysis and root-cause failure analysis.

What we're looking for

• BS, MS or PhD in EE, Computer Engineering, Robotics or a related field.
• 5+ years designing and shipping electrical hardware, or 3+ with an advanced degree.
• Custom PCB design from schematic to validated, manufacturable boards in Altium or a similar EDA tool.
• Power electronics, mixed-signal design, signal integrity and DFM.
• Hands-on work on robot hardware: arms, manipulators, grippers, AMRs, actuated joints or humanoids.

Good to know

• Full-time, onsite in New York City. Relocation within the US is an option.
• US work authorization required; visa sponsorship is not available.
• Hiring through Niuro, Nirvana's recruiting partner.
