About The Role:

What You’ll Do:

• Shape electrical engineering strategy across the core robotics platform and manufacturing process portfolio. Proactively uncover cross-functional needs and translate them into a roadmap, priorities, resource plans, and clear commitments.
• Build a cohesive, scalable electrical architecture across robotics and process systems. Work with the CTO and technical leaders to establish shared platforms and interfaces, balancing reuse with specialized requirements.
• Drive end-to-end delivery. Lead electronics development and electrical integration, including interconnect strategy, interconnect diagrams (ICDs), harness design and procurement, system bring-up, and verification; manage dependencies and adapt plans as requirements evolve.
• Provide deep technical leadership. Lead rigorous design reviews, challenge assumptions, and guide engineers through consequential tradeoffs and difficult technical problems.
• Set and enforce organization-wide EE standards. Establish consistent practices for design review, documentation, verification, and release, including work outside the core EE team.
• Ensure robust electrical systems. Address safety, protection, reliability, manufacturability, and serviceability throughout development, including specialized and high-voltage hardware.
• Build and develop the organization. Hire and coach strong engineers and leaders, delegate ownership, and establish clear expectations for quality and execution.

What You’ll Need:

• Deep electrical engineering expertise, with the ability to reason from fundamentals, evaluate architecture and detailed designs, and provide credible technical guidance on complex problems.
• Experience delivering complex electromechanical systems from design through bring-up, integration, validation, and operation.
• A track record of organizing development across varied systems, balancing specialized requirements with shared architecture, reuse, and scalability.
• Proactive cross-functional leadership: uncovering needs, shaping requirements, developing technical roadmaps, and securing alignment through execution.
• Experience building and leading strong engineering organizations, including hiring, coaching, developing leaders, managing performance, and delegating ownership.
• Experience establishing engineering standards across distributed teams and driving accountability beyond direct reporting lines.
• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

Additional Experience We Value:

• Electrical engineering leadership in autonomous machinery, robotics, advanced manufacturing, or similarly complex equipment.
• Design and validation of specialized electrical systems for manufacturing or other physical processes, including high-voltage or precision power applications.
