Principal Electrical Engineer
It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!
We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.
Job Summary:
The Principal Electrical Engineer works closely with the other engineering functions (ME, SW, Systems integration, Layout, TPM) to design, develop, test and mass produce robotic fulfillment hardware that improve FC cubic density and order velocity to improve customer experience. The Electrical Engineer makes independent critical design decisions and must understand engineering best practices and GMP. As a Principal, you’ll be creating the architecture, leading design direction and ensuring that the general EE team product is very high quality.
A day in the life….. of the Electrical Engineer. You’ll be part of a team designing a highly integrated software and hardware system that uses WiFi, motion control, multiple cameras and a variety of motors and sensors all in a very cool AMR/AGV platform. Your day may include lelading brainstorming discussions, defining architecture individually, discovering and resolving design issues, developing new modules - analog and digital circuits for power control, battery management, sensors, cameras, encoders and motor controls. If you’re excited leveraging your broad experience in high quality, mass producible, elegant design, we’d love to chat with you.
