New Yesterday
At Serve Robotics, we’re reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses.
The Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.
Who We Are We are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end-to-end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.
We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Electrical Engineering Compliance Test Engineer to join our hardware engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for planning, executing, and documenting compliance testing activities to ensure our products meet global regulatory and industry standards (e.g., FCC, CE, UL, EMC, RoHS). You will work cross-functionally with Systems, ME, product, and quality teams to identify potential compliance risks and help bring products to market efficiently and safely.
