The all-in-one, most intuitive, most affordable industrial robots. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
We're building Bolt, a mobile manipulation platform: an autonomous mobile base carrying our robot arms. We're hiring two Senior Electrical Engineers for its electronics. One will focus on the safety system — the safety controller, dual-channel I/O, e-stop and safety-rated power cutoff, safety scanners and encoders, and the evidence that gets it certified. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experience: Bachelor's or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering (or related) and 5+ years designing, building, and testing PCBAs and electrical systems, including designs you've taken through production release
- EE Depth: Strong in digital electronics (MCUs, Ethernet, SPI/I2C/UART), analog and sensing, power sequencing and protection, and system-level grounding and EMC
- Focus Depth: Either safety-rated design (ISO 13849 / IEC 62061 / IEC 61508 — redundant architectures, diagnostics, STO, safety fieldbus) or system integration (harness and connector design, bus topology, bring-up of multi-board systems)
- Tool Fluency: Proficient in Altium Designer for schematic capture and multi-layer layout, harness tooling (Altium Harness, Rapid Harness, or similar) a plus
- Debugging Mastery: Scope, logic/protocol analyzer, and bench instruments, you document what you find and converge on a fix quickly
- Clarity of Communication: Clear design documentation, crisp trade studies, and design reviews that make your peers better

At Standard Bots, we're revolutionizing real-world automation by making robotic systems accessible to everyone. Our AI-powered platform enables robots to tackle unprecedented challenges through an intuitive instruction interface, bringing the power of software automation to physical spaces.
We're building Bolt, a mobile manipulation platform: an autonomous mobile base carrying our robot arms. We're hiring two Senior Electrical Engineers for its electronics. One will focus on the safety system — the safety controller, dual-channel I/O, e-stop and safety-rated power cutoff, safety scanners and encoders, and the evidence that gets it certified. One will focus on upper/lower integration — the electrical architecture that joins arms, base, and control box: harnessing, connectors, communication buses, and the boards that bridge them. Both take designs from concept through production release and work hands-on in the lab and on the robot.
This is an on-site role based at our new Boston-area office, where Bolt is designed, built, and tested, with some flexibility on days in the office once you're up to speed. On-site you'll have a fully equipped electronics lab, a test floor, and...
