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
