Principal Robotics Hardware Engineer

Electrical Systems & Field Reliability

Prime Robotics builds autonomous robots that operate in active warehouses and distribution centers. We are looking for a senior, hands-on hardware engineer to become the technical owner of our robotic hardware in the United States.

Our immediate priorities are improving the electrical design of our robots and solving difficult problems occurring at customer sites. This is not a management-only position. You will personally inspect robots, diagnose failures, test solutions, review designs, and work with our China engineering team to implement permanent improvements.

Over time, you will help define and build Prime’s US hardware engineering capability.

What You’ll Do

• Personally lead troubleshooting of robot failures at customer sites and in Prime’s Denver lab.
• Diagnose intermittent and system-level problems involving power, grounding, EMI/EMC, sensors, motor controllers, embedded computers, wiring, and communications.
• Use oscilloscopes, power analyzers, bus analyzers, logs, and controlled testing to move from symptoms to verified root causes.
• Improve Prime’s 48V/24V electrical architecture, power distribution, protection, grounding, harnessing, connectors, and PCB designs.
• Evaluate and integrate robotic sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, encoders, proximity sensors, safety devices, and other industrial I/O.
• Debug communication among sensors, controller
