menlo - Electrical Engineer, Robotics
Requirements
• 3 or more years of hands-on electrical engineering experience on high-complexity electromechanical products • Solid understanding of electrical and electronic systems, including motor drivers, sensors, and embedded hardware integration • Deep familiarity with low-voltage (under 60V) DC power systems, DC-DC converters, MOSFET gate drivers, current-sense amplifiers, and passive network design • Proficiency using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and CAN/UART sniffers for in-depth hardware debug • Expertise in connector selection, grounding strategies, harness routing, and EMI suppression techniques • Strong communication skills to drive alignment across firmware teams, mechanical engineers, and leadership • Experience with bipedal or humanoid robot hardware or legged locomotion platforms • Familiarity with CAN bus, motor controllers, and how electrical design choices affect firmware and control integration • Scripting experience in Python for hardware automation and data analysis • Familiarity with sim-to-real workflows and how hardware decisions affect locomotion policy training and transfer
Responsibilities
• Design and review schematics and PCB layouts for power distribution units, motor driver boards, and actuator control electronics • Integrate wiring harnesses, PCBA enclosures, and motor controllers into mechanical assemblies from the ground up • Lead bring-up of power systems, sensors, and actuator subassemblies; diagnose and resolve issues across multiple hardware revisions • Define and run electrical and system-level test protocols, analyze failure modes, and iterate based on test data • Work closely with firmware and controls teams to ensure electrical design choices support stable, low-latency control loops • Apply expertise in connector selection, grounding strategies, harness routing, and EMI suppression to ensure robust and field-reliable hardware • Contribute to Menlo's open-source design efforts, including PCB schematics and manufacturing documentation for the broader robotics community
Benefits
• You will be part of a tight-knit team defining the next generation of humanoid robots. With genuine ownership of the mechanical systems that bring Asimov to life, you will see your designs go from CAD to real-world deployments. If you thrive in fast-paced, open-collaborative environments, let's build the future of robotics together. • You don't need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect everyone at Menlo to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement. When that's the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don't treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on. • Equal Opportunity and Accommodations
