We are looking for an electrical engineer who wants to see their designs run in the real world, and quickly.
Every week another InLoop robot goes live in a customer warehouse. It takes us 20 minutes from the truck until our robot packs its first order. You will own the electrical side of that robot: harnesses, power, boards and the safety circuit.
What we build
InLoop builds robotic arms that pick and pack e-commerce orders. We design the whole robot ourselves, hardware and autonomy, and run it in real warehouses. Customers pay a monthly fee instead of buying a $100K+ integration project. We are a Y Combinator company (Spring 2026), a team of 10 people, based at GATE Garching.
What you will own
- Cabling through moving joints: cable choice, routing, flex life, strain relief, abrasion. This is the main reason we are hiring.
- Arm wiring, from cable and connector selection to building the first sets.
- Power: supply, fusing and distribution, motor regeneration, ESD and grounding.
- The safety circuit: e-stop and safety chain to ISO 13849 and IEC 60204-1, independent of the AI, owned by you through CE.
- A custom NVIDIA Jetson Orin carrier board with GMSL2 cameras, power, CAN and I/O.
- Production test: the electrical checks every robot passes before it leaves the line.
Where you might come from
Robotics, industrial automation, automotive, e-mobility, machinery or medical devices all work. If you have built electrics for machines that move, the problems here will feel familiar: cables that flex millions of times, a safety chain that has to pass an audit, CAN, EMC, and a test every unit must pass before it ships.
What you bring
- 3+ years designing electrical systems for things that move: vehicles, robot arms, mobile robots or actuated machines.
- Harnesses through moving parts, and knowledge of how they fail.
- PCB design and bench bring-up (KiCad or Altium).
- DC and motor power, and protection circuits.
- Safety or e-stop work that passed an assessment or audit.
- Design for production, not just prototypes. You can also solder, crimp and read mechanical CAD.
Nice to have: Jetson carrier boards, GMSL2, CAN and Ethernet debugging, EMC pre-compliance, Li-ion and BMS, embedded Linux, a driving licence. German is welcome but not required; we work in English.
What you get
- €60K–€90K salary plus 0.10%–0.50% equity.
- Your designs on robots in production within weeks, not years.
- A small team that builds and ships every week, next to TUM in Garching.
- On-site role. EU Blue Card support and paid relocation if you move to Munich.
