InLoop builds warehouse robots that run fully autonomously in customer warehouses today. The fleet is growing quickly, and the demand is huge. We're hiring a senior electrical engineer to own the electrical side of the robot: harnesses, power, boards and the safety circuit. You'll work directly with our hardware team and make the electrical calls on every robot we ship. This is a hands on role. You design the harness and then build the first one yourself.
Some weeks that's laying out a board, some weeks it's rewiring an arm on the bench. **What you'll work on first** \- **Wiring through moving parts.** Cable choice, routing through joints, bend radius, torsion, flex life, strain relief and abrasion. The arm harness has to bend, twist, survive scratches and take a hit when the arm collides with something. Getting this right is the main reason we're hiring. \- **Arm wiring.** Rework the wiring on our arms, from picking the cable and connectors to building the first set. \- **Power.** Supplies, fusing and distribution across the robot, including regenerative current from the motors, ESD and grounding. \- **Safety circuit.** Design the e-stop and safety circuit to ISO 13849 and IEC 60204-1, fully independent of the AI, and own it through our CE process. \- **Compute board.** Design our own carrier board for a Jetson Orin module with GMSL2 cameras, power, CAN and I/O on one board, replacing the off the shelf boxes we use today.
You'll work from our camera vendor's reference design and with an external design house where it makes sense. \- **Production test.** Build the electrical checks every robot passes before it leaves our assembly line. \- **The whole robot.** Anything electrical that makes the robot more reliable, cheaper or faster to build. **What we're looking for** \- 3 to 5 years designing electrical systems for things that move: robot arms, mobile robots, actuated mechanisms, automotive or drones \- You've designed harnesses that run through joints or other moving parts, and you've seen how they fail \- You've designed PCBs yourself and brought them up on the bench \- DC power distribution, motor power and protection circuits \- Hands on with machine safety (ISO 13849 or IEC 62061, and IEC 60204-1) or e-stop circuits that went through a CE assessment or audit \- You think across the mechanical and electrical boundary: strain relief, enclosures, tolerances, heat \- You've made electronics survive real environments: dust, vibration, ESD and electrical noise \- You design for the hundredth robot, not just the first one \- You're as comfortable with a soldering iron and crimp tool as you are in KiCad or Altium \- Comfortable in mechanical CAD: routing a harness through the arm model, designing a bracket or a strain relief **Nice to have** \- Carrier board design around a Jetson module, including GMSL2 cameras (deserializer, power over coax, MIPI CSI) \- Debugging CAN and Ethernet on a running robot \- EMC pre-compliance and testing \- Li-ion packs, BMS and charging \- Embedded Linux and sensor integration \- German \- Driving license **How to apply** Apply here and include photos or files of something you designed and built, like a board or a harness.
That tells us more than a CV.
