Overview
Job Description
At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
The Role
We're building hardware that pushes the limits of what's possible — and power is at the heart of it. We're looking for a power management wizard to own the design of the systems that keep everything running: from the tiniest LDO to the battery pack powering the whole thing.
You won't be a cog in a giant org. You'll own real problems end-to-end, ship fast, and have your fingerprints all over the product. If you love getting your hands dirty in the lab, debating topologies on a whiteboard, and bringing up brand-new boards at 11pm because you can't wait to see it work — let's talk.
What You'll Do
Architect power solutions from scratch — LDOs, buck/boost converters, PMICs, the whole stack.
Tame multi-rail systems with bulletproof power sequencing.
Wire it all together over I2C, SPI, and CAN.
Design Battery Management Systems and chargers that are safe, efficient, and don't quit. Get deep into battery characterization — chemistry, charge curves, aging, the works.
Take designs from schematic → simulation → bring-up → debug → ship.
Work shoulder-to-shoulder with firmware, systems, and mechanical folks. No silos here.
What We're Looking For
Deep intuition for LDOs, buck/boost topologies, and PMICs — you've designed them, debugged them, and have opinions about them.
You've done real power sequencing on real boards with lots of rails and lived to tell the tale.
Fluent in I2C, SPI, and CAN.
Solid BMS and battery charger experience — bonus if you can sketch a Li-ion charge profile from memory.
You actually enjoy the lab. Scopes, e-loads, source meters — these are your friends.
BS/MS in EE or equivalent hands-on experience that proves the point + 4 years of work experience
Bonus Points
You've driven a BLDC motor and know why field-oriented control matters.
EtherCAT doesn't scare you.
You've worked with encoders and torque sensors and know how to make them play nice with power electronics.
Why Join
Real ownership. Real impact. Real shipping.
Small team, big problems, no bureaucracy.
The kind of hardware challenges that don't exist at bigger companies.
