Senior Electrical Design Engineer

What to Expect

● You will own the end-to-end electrical design of new robotic humanoid hand/end-effector designs for Deft’s next generation wheeled humanoid robot, cooperating with and reporting directly to the CEO.

What you'll do

● Design schematics and high-density, multi-layer PCB layouts (Altium, KiCad) for motor driver boards, sensor interface boards, and power distribution systems that fit within the tight form factor of a robotic hand.

● Select, integrate, and characterize sensors — encoders, force/torque sensors, tactile arrays, and temperature sensors — to enable closed-loop control of each finger joint.

● Develop compact motor drive circuits for miniature BLDC or servo motors, including current sensing, protection, and thermal management.

● Build and execute hardware-in-the-loop test setups — validate boards with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power analyzers, and debug issues at the bench alongside the mechanical engineer.

● Write and maintain basic embedded firmware (C/C++) on STM32 or similar microcontrollers for real-time motor control loops, sensor data acquisition, and communication bus interfaces (CAN, SPI, I²C).
