About this Electrical Engineering Manager role at Picklerobot

Picklerobot · Hybrid · Charlestown, MA

About Us

At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it.  Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.
 

We're looking for an experienced Electrical Engineering Manager to lead the design, development, and validation of the electrical systems that power and control our fleet of robotic unloaders. You'll architect next-generation hardware platforms while managing a small, highly capable team of electrical and firmware engineers — owning technical direction from concept through production and collaborating cross-functionally with mechanical, software, and deployment teams.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy leading talented engineers while staying close to the tech, this is the opportunity for you.

What You'll Do

  • Manage, mentor, and support a multidisciplinary team of electrical and firmware engineers, guiding career growth, hiring, and team development as the company scales
  • Define and evolve system-level electrical architectures, including power distribution, PCB design, cables and harnesses, cameras, safety systems, and sensors/actuators
  • Lead the firmware team to develop solutions for PLC bring-up, drive systems, safety devices, and embedded systems
  • Drive design reviews, safety considerations, and DFM/DFT practices; partner with the System and Validation Team to define test plans, validation criteria, test fixtures, and debug procedures for new and existing designs
  • Work closely with Mechanical, Software, Product, and Deployment teams to integrate electrical systems into reliable, field-ready robots
  • Interface with vendors and manufacturing partners to support prototyping, production, and testing
  • Support field and fleet teams in diagnosing and resolving electrical or embedded issues
  • Align engineering direction with company goals and product roadmap, ensuring clear communication and shared plans across the electrical and firmware stacks; contribute to planning cycles and risk assessment
  • What You'll Bring

  • 10+ years of electrical engineering experience, including 5+ years leading and managing technical teams, roadmaps, and project execution
  • Experience delivering robust electrical systems for robotics, industrial automation, or embedded hardware products
  • Deep knowledge of PCB design, power systems, signal integrity, and hardware interfaces, with proficiency in electrical simulation, schematic capture, and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium, KiCAD)
  • Familiarity with embedded microcontrollers, I2C/SPI/UART/CAN protocols, and real-world sensor integration
  • Skilled in reviewing and supporting firmware for hardware validation and diagnostics
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to give and receive feedback constructively across mechanical, software, and product teams
  • Experience scaling hardware teams in a startup or high-growth environment preferred
  • Familiarity with compliance and safety standards (e.g., UL, CE, IEC, ISO, RIA, etc.), EMI/EMC compliance, and field reliability practices

The salary range listed here is provided in accordance with Massachusetts law and reflects what we reasonably and in good faith expect to offer for this role. We often consider candidates at different levels of seniority, and final compensation will reflect the level at which a candidate is hired, along with factors like experience and location.   Pickle Perks  Pickle provides best-in-class benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance; unlimited vacation; paid federal and state holidays; 401(k) contributions of 5% of your salary; company-covered travel expenses; and other perks to make your working life more fun, comfortable, and productive.
