Making humanoids dexterous enough to thread a needle. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
This role is for an electrical engineer who enjoys building hardware that lives at the edge of what is physically possible. You will design the embedded electronics behind our robotic hands, including motor control, power delivery, sensor integration, board bring-up, and real-time communication. Your work will directly affect the dexterity, responsiveness, reliability, and manufacturability of our robotic platforms.
What they're looking for
- Demonstrated ability to design, assemble, and debug high-density mixed-signal PCBs involving power, sensing, and control
- Strong understanding of BLDC, servo, or actuator control systems , including current sensing, position feedback, and motor driver integration
- Experience with power electronics , including switching regulators, gate drivers, protection circuits, current measurement, and thermal management
- Hands-on experience integrating sensors such as encoders, IMUs, force sensors, tactile sensors, strain gauges, or analog front ends
- Strong hardware debugging ability using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, thermal cameras, and bench power supplies
More about this role
At Proception , we are building some of the most dexterous humanoid robotic hands in the world: 20+ actuators, dense sensing, real-time control, and power electronics packed into a compact robotic forearm .

Your work will directly affect the dexterity, responsiveness, reliability, and manufacturability of our robotic platforms.
We are a robotics team building the hardware foundation for general-purpose manipulation. We started Proception because we believe humanoid hands are one of the biggest bottlenecks to capable real-world robots.
Better robot intelligence needs better hands, better sensors, better actuation, and better embedded systems. That is what we are building.
- Understand our robotic hand architecture, actuator stack, sensing stack, and embedded electronics roadmap
- Support bring-up and debugging of existing motor control, power, and sensor boards
- Review current PCB designs...
