Teleo's mission is to revolutionize how we build the world.
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, coupled with 8+ years of hands-on experience in designing and executing complex electrical systems
- Proficiency in the realm of robotics or autonomous systems, while not mandatory, is strongly preferred
- Expert level in CAD tools in circuit design, PCB layout, and electrical simulation software (e.g., Altium, OrCAD, KiCad)
- A demonstrated track record in designing, producing, and deploying hardware solutions at scale
- Substantial hands-on experience across the entirety of the product lifecycle, encompassing architecture, design, system integration (both electrical and mechanical), as well as system qualification and compliance
Desirable
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of hands-on experience
- Demonstrated experience in the development of electrical systems for self-driving cars
- Proven ability to optimize electrical systems for efficiency, reliability, and safety in challenging environments
- Familiarity with industry-specific safety and compliance standards (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508) and the ability to implement them effectively (risk assessment, SIL computations, FIT Rate derivations…)
- Strong project management skills, with experience in guiding complex electrical engineering projects from concept to delivery
- 3+ years in a leadership capacity, effectively managing teams of engineers
- A passion for innovation and a proactive approach to staying updated on emerging trends and technologies in electrical engineering and robotics
What the job involves
- As the Robotics Electrical Engineering Manager, your purview will encompass the direct supervision of electrical engineers entrusted with the conception, development, manufacturing, initiation, and validation of both our current and next-generation Teleo Hardware
- Within your capacity, you will engage in daily interactions with counterparts in mechanical engineering, embedded firmware, systems engineering, and the compliance division
Our take
Operating a massive piece of heavy equipment like a bullddozer for 8-10 hours a day is a challenging job. It's tiring, unsafe and requires a great deal of synchronisation with other workers and vehicles on the job. Teleo is lightening this burden for construction teams with remote and autonomous control of heavy equipment.
The startup has pursued a pragmatic “crawl-walk-run” approach to deliver the benefits of supervised autonomy now. Instead of having each machine in a fleet operated by a driver in a cab, they’re all being controlled remotely by a single human operator miles away from the job site.
The hope is that the technology matures toward fully autonomous heavy equipment operation. Like any new, next-generation technology, it can take some getting used to. However construction workers are simply adapting to robots on site as a another tool to get the job done, putting Teleo in a strong position as it sets out to disrupt the construction industry.
