At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it. Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.

We're looking for a highly skilled Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of electrical systems for our next-generation industrial robotic products. This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives in fast-paced R&D environments and enjoys both hands-on design and technical leadership.

Own system-level electrical architecture for robotic platforms, including complex embedded systems — analog/digital circuits, power electronics, power distribution, and system-level interfaces

Design, develop, and hands-on debug electrical systems, from schematic capture and PCB layout through bring-up and validation

Develop electrical requirements, specifications, design verification plans, and test procedures that drive system-level design

Create and maintain electrical drawings, schematics, and PCB layouts; lead technical design reviews

Partner with mechanical, software, and systems engineering teams to execute product designs from concept through production — prototyping, validation, testing, and certification

Deliver cost-effective, manufacturable electrical solutions and support release to production and field deployment, including troubleshooting, build support, and sustaining engineering

Champion safety, EMC, and compliance throughout the electrical design process, applying functional safety standards (e.g., IEC 61508)

Mentor other engineers on technical approach and design best practices, without formal management responsibility

Execute on tight schedules while maintaining high-quality and reliability standards

An Electrical Engineer with 8+ years of experience in robotics, automation, or related electromechanical systems, including robotic system integration and industrial automation

B.S. in Electrical Engineering required (M.S. preferred)

Strong background in electrical safety, control systems, and system-level design, with knowledge of autonomous mobile robots and industrial robot safety standards

Knowledgeable in AC/DC power distribution, protection systems, and 3-phase industrial power (U.S. and EU standards)

Skilled in cable harness design, interconnect solutions, and system wiring

Experienced with power electronics, motors, motor control, and sensors (Hall effect, encoders, load cells)

Proficient in PCB design, schematic layout, and assembly using tools like Altium; familiarity with CAD tools such as OnShape is a plus

A strong communicator who can lead, influence, and coordinate across engineering disciplines

Able to work from our Charlestown, MA office at least 4 days per week

At Pickle Robot Company, we believe transparency builds trust. The salary range listed here is provided in accordance with Massachusetts law and reflects what we reasonably and in good faith expect to offer for this role.
