Associate Electrical Engineer, Standard Bots

• Education: Recent Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field
• Hands-on Project Experience: Demonstrated experience designing, building, and testing electronics through university capstone projects, research labs, or internships. (Participation in student competitions like Formula SAE, Solar Car, or Robotics Club is a huge plus)
• EE Fundamentals: Strong academic foundation in:
• Power Electronics: Understanding of buck/boost converters, LDOs, and motor drivers
• Digital Electronics: Familiarity with Microcontrollers (MCU), common interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART), and basic high-speed concepts
• Analog Electronics: Op-amps, filters, and sensing circuits
• EDA Tools: Basic proficiency with Altium Designer (or similar tools like KiCad/Eagle) for schematic capture and PCB layout
• Lab Skills: Comfortable using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and soldering irons to debug hardware
• Problem Solving: A logical approach to troubleshooting bugs and a willingness to document findings clearly
• Communication: Ability to articulate technical concepts and ask questions when stuck

Desirable

• Design Support: Assist senior engineers in the design of PCBAs for robotics systems (including motor controllers, power distribution, and sensor interface boards)
• Schematic & Layout: Create schematics for sub-circuits and perform PCB layout for simpler designs or breakout boards under the guidance of a mentor
• Component Management: Help maintain the component library by creating and verifying symbols and footprints
• Bring-up & Testing: Support board bring-up activities, execute test plans, measure signal quality, and troubleshoot hardware issues in the lab
• Documentation: Assist in preparing fabrication and assembly files (Gerbers, BOMs) and release them to manufacturing
• Collaboration: Work closely with Mechanical and Software engineering teams to ensure hardware integrates physically and functionally
• Vendor Interaction: Communicate with PCB fabrication and assembly vendors to resolve simple engineering questions (EQs)
