Staff Electrical Engineer - Dexterity

Apptronik is a human-centered robotics company developing AI-powered robots to support humanity in every facet of life. Our flagship humanoid robot, Apollo, is built to collaborate thoughtfully with people, starting with critical industries such as manufacturing and logistics, with future applications in healthcare, the home, and beyond. We operate at the cutting edge of embodied AI, applying our expertise across the full robotics stack to solve some of society's most important problems.

You will join a team dedicated to bringing Apollo to market at scale, tackling the complex challenges like safety, commercialization, and mass production to change the world for the better. Job Summary We're looking for experienced senior and junior electrical engineers to drive our electronics developments for the end effectors of the Apollo humanoid robot. We are primarily interested in candidates who have developed electronics for robotic end effectors, prosthetics, and wearables.

In this job role, you will own electronic systems from ideation through design, testing, and into mass production.

RESPONSIBILITIES

or KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES Electronics Architect from Concept to Production: Architect, design, simulate, implement, and test multi-layer mixed signal PCBAs. Rapid prototyping of electrical systems at both system and board levels. Generate design documentation such as schematics, block diagrams, test plans and procedures, fabrication and assembly drawings.

Execute design work under the supervision of program management, systems engineers, and technical leads. Align technical implementation and execution with company goals. Validation & Evaluation Criteria: Develop and execute comprehensive validation and test plans (DVT/PVT).

Design necessary test fixtures and utilize advanced laboratory equipment (high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) to rigorously evaluate prototypes and ensure strict compliance with performance, safety, and reliability specifications. Root-Cause Analysis & Debugging: Assess unusual circumstances, creative failure modes, and hardware/firmware defects. Use sophisticated debugging techniques to identify root causes and implement robust corrective actions.

Lifecycle Management & Vendor Alignment: Own the entire component lifecycle through PLM systems, managing third-party relationships with hardware vendors and contract manufacturers (CMs) to ensure successful production scaling and design-for-manufacturability (DFM/DFA). Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including technical lead, project managers, software, mechanical, thermal, systems engineers, and manufacturing. Manage 3rd party relationships with vendors, contract manufacturers, and external design services.

Technical Leadership: Drive project execution with leadership, program management, and engineering peers. Define component roadmaps with product managers, systems engineers, and technical leads. Lead debugging and root cause analysis related to hardware and software defect resolution.

Align technical implementation and execution with company goals. Drive consensus with stakeholders on critical design and compliance decisions. Provide work breakdowns and time estimations to inform project execution.

REQUIREMENTS

), and wiring harnesses. Competent in CAD tools including Altium, or similar tools. Experience with developing and maintaining CAD design rules.

Experience with product lifecycle management and PLM systems such as Arena and TeamCenter.
