Job Description
We are building the next generation of autonomous systems and environmental sensing platforms by combining open-source software with rugged, reliable hardware. Our mission is to take commercial off-the-shelf components and rapidly transform them into field-ready defense and dual-use technologies.
Electrical engineers are central to this mission: designing power systems that keep autonomous rovers moving, developing circuits that make remote water-quality stations last for weeks in harsh environments, and ensuring that sensors and controllers communicate reliably under real-world conditions. We move fast, test in the field, and measure success by working prototypes that scale.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Design and integrate circuits for robotics, power systems, and IoT sensors.
Work with embedded controllers (Arduino, STM32, Raspberry Pi) and interface them with sensors and actuators.
Perform PCB design, schematic capture, and hardware debugging.
Develop and test power management solutions for solar + battery systems.
Collaborate with software engineers to integrate hardware with control systems and telemetry pipelines.
Support field operations by troubleshooting electrical systems under real conditions.
QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor's degree or entry level knowledge in:
Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields
Must-haves:
Proficiency with circuit design and analysis
Experience with multimeters, oscilloscopes, and basic lab equipment
Familiarity with embedded systems and microcontroller programming (C/C++/Arduino)
Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
Ability to work independently and in small teams
Organized and detail-oriented with consistent follow-through
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS
PCB design experience (KiCad, Altium, Eagle, or similar)
Hands-on experience with power systems, batteries, or solar energy
Familiarity with wireless communication (Wi-Fi, LoRa, Bluetooth)
Prior internships, research, or projects involving robotics, IoT, or sensing systems
Knowledge of EMI mitigation, shielding, or ruggedization techniques
WHY JOIN US
Competitive pay at $55/hour with growth potential and/or CPT/OPT letter upon request
Hands-on experience with real robots and deployed sensor systems
Direct mentorship from experienced engineers and defense professionals
Clear opportunities for advancement and referrals to major defense companies
Work in a practical, fast-paced environment where your designs are tested in the field
