Senior Staff Electrical Engineer - Atlas

As an Electrical Engineer at Boston Dynamics, you will be a part of a small, fast-moving robotics team, helping with the design, construction, and troubleshooting of compact and reliable electrical systems in robotics on our Atlas team. Every day you will work on electrical system designs, dense electromechanical integrations, coding, PCB layouts, and frequently contribute hands-on in lab building and debugging electrical systems, ranging from small test systems to fully integrated prototype robots. Robotics includes a broad range of technical subjects within electrical engineering. To thrive in this role, you must be able to work quickly and adapt to constantly evolving design considerations, while keeping track of several development threads at the same time.

Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications, logistics and warehouses.

How You Will Make An Impact

• Design electrical systems in advanced robotics, focused on sensors and compute architecture.
• Review designs and conduct failure analysis and debug activities using string circuit analysis fundamentals
• Use schematic capture and PCB layout software (We use Altium)
• Develop analog circuit designs for all sorts of embedded sensors in robots
• Write firmware in C and HDL targeting microcontrollers, DSPs and FPGAs to program and test embedded designs
• Use your working understanding of command-line Linux to configure networks and run software on robots
• Use a wide variety of lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMM’s, power supplies, programmable loads, and spectrum analyzers to validate designs or figure out hard electrical engineering problems
