[ref. e24569021] Senior Electronics Engineer
The Bigger Picture
At Andromeda Robotics, we’re not just imagining the future of human-robot relationships—we’re building it. As a pioneering social robotics startup, our mission is to revolutionise how humans connect with technology by introducing Abi, the world’s first empathetic companion robot.With a heart full of compassion and a spirit of kindness, Abi creates deep, meaningful connections with people, making the world a little warmer, a little brighter, and a lot more connected. Just like the beloved characters in your favourite stories, Abi is here to listen, understand, and share joyful moments.
Your Role in the Action
As a Senior Electronics Engineer at Andromeda Robotics, you’ll be the driving force behind Abi’s electronic design and development—from pioneering concept selection through to production-ready execution. You’ll set the strategic direction for sensor integration, power distribution, and embedded systems, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to ensure each circuit meets uncompromising performance, reliability, and manufacturability standards.Beyond hands-on circuit analysis and PCB design, you’ll spearhead rigorous design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and refine processes for continuous improvement. By balancing big-picture vision with detail-oriented execution, you’ll shape how Abi embodies empathy, warmth, and meaningful connection—cementing Andromeda Robotics as a leader in the transformative world of social robotics.
How You’ll Make an Impact- Serve as a driving force in electronics system design, from concept to production, ensuring each circuit board fuels Abi’s empathetic interactions with unwavering reliability.
- Collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and industrial design teams to seamlessly integrate sensors, power systems, and embedded platforms.
- Create schematic and PCB design using tools like Altium, championing best practices in power distribution, signal integrity, and manufacturability standards for robotics.
- Conduct in-depth circuit analysis and debugging to refine Abi’s performance and prepare her for real-world challenges.
- Ensure manufacturing readiness and quality assurance of the electrical system, ensuring designs transition smoothly to volume production and meet all compliance standards.
- Develop embedded firmware in C or Rust for microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs—iterating designs based on rigorous testing to deliver Abi’s heartfelt capabilities at the cutting edge of innovation.
- Mentor junior engineers through design reviews and knowledge-sharing, fostering a collaborative environment that sparks continuous improvement and cements Andromeda Robotics as a leader in social robotics.
Requirements
What We Are Looking For- Bachelor’s/Master’s/PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
- 5+ years of professional electronics engineering experience (beyond internships or co-ops), with proven expertise in both high-speed board design (PCIe, Ethernet, EtherCAT) and robust power regulation/distribution
- Proficiency with Altium (or equivalent) for schematic and PCB layout, demonstrating a meticulous approach to signal integrity, grounding, and manufacturability
- Comprehensive hands-on experience in circuit analysis, debugging, and validation—using oscilloscopes, power supplies, and simulation tools (e.g., LTspice) to deliver designs that meet the highest performance and reliability standards
- Familiarity with embedded programming (C, Rust, or equivalent), enabling efficient collaboration across firmware development, FPGA design, and microcontroller integration
- In-depth understanding of short-circuit protection, switching power supplies, and innovative power management methods for battery-driven and high-current systems
- Working knowledge of mechanical CAD (e.g., SolidWorks), illustrating the ability to collaborate effectively with mechanical and industrial designers on seamless system integration
- Proven track record of supporting manufacturing and supply chain processes—overseeing transition to volume production, driving design-for-manufacturability, and upholding compliance standards
- A passion for mentoring junior engineers, championing rigorous design reviews, and fostering an environment of continuous learning and innovation
- Demonstrated skill in camera electronics, MIPI interfaces, or advanced high-speed protocols (PCIe Gen4/5, USB4, 10G Ethernet)
- Experience designing compact boards (HDI, flex, rigid-flex) with an eye for precise form-factor constraints
- Familiarity with Python, C++, or MATLAB for automation and testing, bringing new levels of refinement to system validation and performance optimization
- A love of tinkering with hardware in your free time—pushing boundaries on personal projects that spark new ideas and breakthroughs
