About the role

We're looking for an Electrical Engineer to help design our most space and performance-constrained electronics. We are looking for someone who can start from an idea, help devise an architecture, draw a clean schematic, create libraries when needed, lay out the PCB, send it to fab, and help bring it up when it gets delivered. That loop often can be closed in less than one week for simple designs, so speed is a must.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree (advanced degree a plus) in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • 5+ years of industry experience designing and shipping production electronics (3+ with advanced degree)
  • Experience designing and bringing up highly integrated PCBAs and flex/rigid-flex assemblies in shipped consumer or industrial electronics, robotics, automotive, medical, or similar high-volume, tightly integrated products
  • Hands-on experience designing circuits with chip-scale packaging (BGA, WLCSP, fan-out), HDI techniques (microvias, blind/buried vias, stacked/staggered vias, sequential lamination), and fine-pitch, miniature passive placement
  • Proficiency with a modern ECAD tool (KiCAD, Altium, Cadence Allegro), including constraint-driven layout for HDI and high-speed signals
  • Solid fundamentals in mixed-signal design: low-noise analog sensing, power conversion, and high-speed digital — and the discipline to keep them from interfering with each other

Persona AI is building humanoid robots for the most demanding environments in heavy industry — shipyards, steel mills, fabrication facilities, and offshore platforms — performing welding, grinding, maintenance, inspection, and material-handling work that is dangerous, physically demanding, and increasingly difficult to staff.

We are backed by leading strategic and financial investors and engaged with global industrial leaders across Korea, Japan, the United States, and Singapore. Korea is the center of gravity for our early commercial strategy, anchored by relationships with the world’s leading shipbuilders and steelmakers. Our work spans both the robot platform itself and the systems, partners, and playbooks required to deploy it at scale.

We offer competitive compensation, a performance-based bonus, 99% employer covered medical benefits, early-stage equity, competitive PTO, and a company-wide paid winter break between December 24th and January 2nd.

You’ll shape technology that’s redefining the possibilities of robotics and human interaction.

Work alongside passionate teammates who value creativity, and continuous learning.
