About the role

We are looking for a PCB Layout Engineer to design high-density electronics for next-generation robotic systems. You will own PCB layout from floor planning through fabrication release, working closely with electrical, SI/PI, mechanical, and manufacturing teams. This role is based in San Francisco and requires in-person presence four days per week.

What they're looking for

  • Experience with rigid-flex boards or other mechanically constrained designs
  • Experience routing PCIe, DDR, USB, Ethernet, MIPI, or similar high-speed interfaces
  • Familiarity with SI/PI simulation tools such as Cadence Sigrity or Ansys SIwave
  • Experience laying out power supplies or other power-electronics circuits or mixed-signal systems
  • Familiarity with IPC standards, Cadence SKILL scripting, or layout automation
More about this role

Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and advancing toward AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world environments. Working across the full model and systems stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the physical constraints of real-world systems to improve people’s lives.
