Senior Electrical Engineer - Robotics (m/f/d)

About the Role at RobCo RobCo is building the category of Autonomous Industrial Robotics and we're doing it fast. We believe that automating the ordinary frees humans to do the extraordinary, and we're building the end-to-end robotics infrastructure to make that possible - hardware, software, and AI in one stack that just works. As our Senior Electrical Engineer - Robotics (m/f/d), you act as the electrical core of our robotics engineering team, taking complete ownership of our hardware platforms from early prototyping through to series production. You bridge high-speed autonomous robotic development with robust engineering processes, ensuring our hardware meets the highest quality and safety standards, and set up efficient systems and engineering gates that empower the broader team to work with clarity, focus, and speed. Your Responsibilities Own the full electrical picture: Design and execute schematic capture, multi-layer PCB layout, cable harness design, connector selection, and part specification. Drive end-to-end prototyping and series production: Build PCBs, circuits, and wiring systems, taking dynamic initial concepts all the way through to scalable manufacturing. Establish engineering processes: Build standard QA frameworks, engineering gates, and operational systems that allow the team to stay focused, execute rapidly, and succeed. Ensure quality, compliance, and safety: Act as the primary gatekeeper for electrical quality while navigating applicable industry safety standards and regulatory compliance. Engine for high-speed execution: Balance fast-paced autonomous robotic iteration with pragmatic, right-sized QA processes tailored to current development stages. Design motion system architectures: Develop and optimize 24V/48V power distribution, motor/servo drive integration, and sensor interfaces to ensure high signal integrity and thermal efficiency. Collaborate cross-functionally: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with firmware and software teams on board bring-up, microcontroller integration, and system-level debugging. Manage DFM/DFT and supplier relationships: Work directly with contract manufacturers and in-house assembly teams to oversee BOM costs, component sourcing, and engineering change control. We're looking for someone who has: Completed vocational training or a degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a comparable field. Several years of experience in full-cycle electrical design (analog, digital, and power circuits) across multiple companies, taking products from concept to market. Deep technical background in Altium, multi-layer PCB layout, microcontrollers (ARM Cortex, STM32), motion systems (24/48V power, motor drives, encoders, sensor interfaces), and EMC/thermal layout strategies. Solid grasp of DFM/DFT principles, cable harness design, signal integrity, and direct collaboration with contract manufacturers. Proactive, end-to-end ownership mindset with a pragmatic working style and a drive to establish sca
