About Walden Robotics

At Walden Robotics, we envision a world where general-purpose robots dramatically improve the quality of life for all people—supporting us at home, at work, in factories, on farms, and beyond. Backed by E14 Fund.

About the role

We’re seeking an execution-driven Senior Electrical Engineer to be a technical leader in the hands-on implementation and delivery of our robot’s electrical systems. In this role, you will be an individual contributor responsible for designing, building, and testing critical subsystems including: power distribution, BMS, system level communications, and wire harnesses and ensuring these systems scale from early prototypes to robust, fault-tolerant production hardware.

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience delivering complex electrical systems from concept through production (or MS + 5 years), including shipping hardware into volume production
  • Strong core electrical engineering skillset: schematic design, PCB layout (e.g Altium), power electronics/regulation, component selection, and system-level electrical integration
  • Demonstrated experience designing battery systems for high power products, including packs, BMS integration, charging, and safe operating and protection requirements
  • Hands-on experience architecting and building wire harnesses and interconnect systems—connector selection, current and voltage-drop budgeting, harness routing, and fabrication
  • Strong communication, ownership, and a collaborative, cross-functional approach, with the ability to reason about the electrical system at the whole-product level

Candidates should bring deep experience delivering complex electromechanical products, along with demonstrated excellence in technical leadership, deep ownership, bias for action, delivery, and mentorship.

  • Own the electrical platform architecture for the humanoid robot, including battery systems, power distribution, grounding, and protection across the full machine.
  • Design and deliver power management electronics, including high power capable switches, pre-charge circuits and monitoring systems.
  • Design the robot's wire harness and interconnect system—architecture, connector selection, current/voltage-drop budgets, routing, and strain relief from prototype through production.
  • Define and integrate battery...
