电气设计工程师

Job Description

Charge Robotics is a Series A startup building robots that build solar farms.

Demand for new solar projects is booming (1 ⁄ 5 of all the solar that exists in the US was installed last year!), but today's construction companies can't keep up due to limited labor resources.

We thought this was insane, so we started working on robots to directly address this bottleneck and speed up the world's transition to renewables.

Charge is a fast-moving company, which means constant opportunities for learning and growth. You'll have a large impact on the direction of our company, and will be compensated accordingly.

We're MIT-founded and backed by top generalist and climate tech investors, including Lux Capital and Y Combinator (S21).

If you're excited to work on interesting problems with direct climate impact, you're going to fit right in! Read more about Charge at the links below:

About the role

As an Electrical Design Engineer at Charge Robotics, you'll be designing and implementing the electrical systems that power our robotic factory, playing a direct role in deploying gigawatts of clean power generation.

What you'll be working on

• Designing, testing, and validating electrical systems including power distribution, control circuits, and signal conditioning for our robotic factory
• Selecting and integrating motors, sensors, actuators, PLCs, and other electrical/electronic components to meet system requirements for reliability and performance
• Creating electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness designs while establishing standards for electrical documentation and best practices
• Troubleshooting electrical issues in factory and field deployments, working closely with mechanical and software teams to ensure seamless system integration
• Scaling electrical systems from design to manufacturing and deployment

You

• Have strong experience in electrical engineering with hands-on skills in power systems, control systems, and industrial automation
• Can read and create electrical schematics, panel layouts, and wiring diagrams, and are proficient with CAD tools for electrical design
• Have experience specifying and integrating electrical components (motors, drives, sensors, relays, PLCs) and understand electrical codes and safety standards
• Have worked in a fast-paced startup environment before, and loved it
• Are excited to work with (and occasionally safely climb into) giant robots
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Are based in or can relocate to the SF Bay Area, and able to work 4-5 days/week from our San Leandro HQ
• Gain satisfaction from personally playing a part in mitigating climate change
• Are excited to see your work deployed onto actual solar farms!

It'd also be nice if you

• Have experience with high-power electrical systems, motion control, or industrial robotics
• Have a 4-year degree in electrical engineering or a related field
• Are familiar with Python or other programming languages for testing and automation

Compensation Range: $165K - $220K
