About Mind Robotics

Mind Robotics builds intelligent, broadly capable robots for industrial deployment in high-impact environments. Backed by Accel, Kleiner Perkins and a16z.

About the role

We're seeking a hands-on Electrical Design Engineers to design, build, and scale complex electrical systems. In this role, you will own the full design lifecycle—architecting boards, debugging prototypes in the lab, and working directly with manufacturers to bring high-reliability robots to market at scale. Design and develop complex electrical systems, including power distribution, sensor integration, and motor drive systems.

What they're looking for

  • Technical degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
  • 5+ years of experience (or equivalent "hard tech" projects) building complex electromechanical systems and sensors
  • Deep understanding of DC-DC converters, EMI/EMC mitigation, and standard communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN bus, UART)
  • Experience with hardware validation cycles, debug and measurement methods
  • Experience with wire harnesses, cabling & connectors
  • Experience designing for volume processes and working with contract manufacturers
More about this role

Mind Robotics is building Physical AI for real-world industrial deployment, starting with the factory floor. We believe the hardest problems in AI are solved when researchers and engineers are hands-on with the physical world every day - and we're looking for people who are passionate about robotics, value ownership, and are excited to tackle difficult problems. Join us if you want to move beyond digital intelligence and put intelligence into motion.
