Humanoid Manufacturing Electrical Engineer
New Yesterday
Sr Humanoid Manufacturing Electrical Engineer Our mission is to create advanced robots that can operate in complex environments, reducing human risk in conflict zones and enhancing efficiency in labor-intensive industries.
We are on the lookout for extraordinary engineers and scientists to join our team. Your previous experience in robotics isn't a prerequisite — it's your talent and determination that truly count.
We expect that many of our team members will bring diverse perspectives from various industries and fields. We are looking for individuals with a proven record of exceptional ability and a history of creating things that work.
Our Culture:
We like to be frank and honest about who we are, so that people can decide for themselves if this is a culture they resonate with. Please read more about our culture here https://foundation.bot/culture .
Who should join:
You like working in person with a team in San Francisco.
You deeply believe that this is the most important mission for humanity and needs to happen yesterday.
You are highly technical - regardless of the role you are in. We are building technology; you need to understand technology well.
You care about aesthetics and design inside out. If it's not the best product ever, it bothers you, and you need to “fix” it.
You don't need someone to motivate you; you get things done.
Why We Are Hiring for This Role:
We are seeking a proactive and technically strong Electrical Engineer to join our humanoid robot manufacturing team. This role focuses on the development, optimization, and support of electrical manufacturing processes, including electrical integration, test systems, and automated equipment. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in electrical systems manufacturing, hands-on experience with PLC programming, and a proven track record in managing projects and collaborating with equipment integrators to bring scalable production solutions to life.
What Kind of Person We Are Looking For:
Develop, implement, and refine electrical assembly and testing processes for humanoid robotic systems. Collaborate with design engineering to ensure electrical components, PCBs, wiring harnesses, sensors, and control systems are optimized for manufacturability and efficient integration.
Design and support PLC-controlled equipment, automated test stations, and end-of-line validation systems for electrical components and subsystems.
Work cross-functionally to plan and execute new product introductions (NPI) from prototype to full-scale production.
Coordinate with external equipment integrators for design, sourcing, commissioning, and validation of automated test and assembly systems.
Develop and maintain electrical process documentation, including wiring diagrams, test protocols, and troubleshooting guides.
Ensure electrical safety compliance across the production line, including proper grounding, shielding, and ESD-safe practices.
Lead technical project management efforts for manufacturing process improvements, test system builds, and line scaling activities.
Support production by diagnosing and resolving electrical integration and test issues in real-time.
Identify opportunities for process automation and implement data-driven improvements in electrical test throughput and accuracy.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.
5+ years of experience in electrical manufacturing or test engineering in robotics, electronics, or advanced hardware environments.
Strong understanding of electrical assemblies, PCB manufacturing, wiring harnessing, and embedded system integration.
Proficiency in PLC programming and troubleshooting (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff, etc.).
Hands-on experience with electrical testing tools like oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and automated test rigs.
Experience reading and creating schematics, wiring diagrams, and electrical work instructions.
Familiarity with electrical CAD software (Altium, OrCAD, or similar).
Demonstrated ability to manage technical projects and coordinate with external vendors.
Strong problem-solving abilities and technical documentation skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in building or scaling electromechanical systems, particularly in robotics or high-reliability applications.
Background in end-of-line testing, firmware loading, and test automation.
Exposure to lean manufacturing, Six Sigma methodologies, and electrical FMEA.
Knowledge of MES systems, industrial communication protocols, and digital factory tools.
We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.
The annual compensation is expected to be between $95,000 - $1,000,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
