Electrical Engineer, Robotics

About Menlo Menlo Research is an Applied R&D lab building Asimov, an open-source humanoid robot platform, and the full software stack that powers it. Our mission is to make humanoid labor economically viable -- turning software into physical labor at scale. We build across the full stack: hardware architecture, locomotion, autonomy, simulation, and infrastructure. We move fast, ship to real robots, and open-source everything we can. If you want your work to matter beyond a paper or a demo, this is the place. The Role As an Electrical Engineer, you will own the design, integration, and bring-up of the electronic systems that power Asimov. From power distribution to motor control to sensor integration, you will work across schematics, PCB layouts, harness design, and hardware debug -- ensuring every electrical decision holds up in the field and integrates cleanly with the broader mechanical and firmware stack. What You'll Do Design and review schematics and PCB layouts for power distribution units, motor driver boards, and actuator control electronics Integrate wiring harnesses, PCBA enclosures, and motor controllers into mechanical assemblies from the ground up Lead bring-up of power systems, sensors, and actuator subassemblies; diagnose and resolve issues across multiple hardware revisions Define and run electrical and system-level test protocols, analyze failure modes, and iterate based on test data Work closely with firmware and controls teams to ensure electrical design choices support stable, low-latency control loops Apply expertise in connector selection, grounding strategies, harness routing, and EMI suppression to ensure robust and field-reliable hardware Contribute to Menlo 's open-source design efforts, including PCB schematics and manufacturing documentation for the broader robotics community What You'll Bring 3 or more years of hands-on electrical engineering experience on high-complexity electromechanical products Solid understanding of electrical and e
