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 looking for a Senior Staff Electrical Engineer to lead the hardware of that base, mechanical and electrical, from concept through a safety-certified fleet. 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 10+ years designing, building, and testing power systems and PCBAs, including leading the hardware of an AMR, AGV, or similar mobile robot taken through production
- AMR Safety Certification: You have taken an AMR or similar mobile machine through third-party safety certification (ISO 3691-4, ANSI/RIA R15.08, UL 3100), including ISO 13849 safety functions, the evidence package, and test-lab campaigns
- Power Depth: Mastery of high-current distribution, pre-charge and protection circuits, DC/DC conversion, motor-drive power stages, and regen and bus-capacitance behavior
- Battery Integration: Working knowledge of BMS behavior (balancing, SoC/SoH, protection limits, CAN interface) and how to specify, qualify, and integrate a vendor pack and charger
- Compliance: Working knowledge of IEC 62133 / UL 2271 at the pack interface and EMC (IEC 61000 series) with pre-compliance debugging
- Leadership: You have led engineers through an NPI cycle and made them better, you give direct, specific design feedback

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 looking for a Senior Staff Electrical Engineer to lead the hardware of that base, mechanical and electrical, from concept through a safety-certified fleet. You will set the hardware architecture, lead a team of mechanical and electrical engineers through prototype builds, test, and certification, and own the power system yourself: specifying and integrating the battery pack and charger from a battery manufacturer, and designing the high-current distribution, pre-charge and protection, safe power cutoff, and power delivery to drive motors, arms, and compute.
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 build up a fully equipped electronics lab, a...
