Job Description

As Sr. Electrical Engineer, PCB Design at Carbon Robotics, you will design the circuit boards that power our revolutionary products. You'll create everything from high-reliability embedded control boards to power electronics that operate in harsh agricultural environments. From rapid prototyping to optimizing for high-volume manufacturing, you'll do whatever it takes - which might include going to the farm - to ensure our customers have reliable and safe products.

What you'll do:

  • Design PCBs for diverse applications including laser control systems, motor drives, power distribution, control panels, vehicle ECUs, and sensor interfaces
  • Create high-speed digital boards for embedded computing, image processing, and real-time control systems
  • Develop power electronics PCBs handling high currents for motor control and power distribution
  • Design mixed-signal boards integrating precision analog, digital processing, and power management
  • Optimize PCB layouts for EMI/EMC compliance, thermal management, and automotive reliability standards
  • Implement design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for test (DFT) strategies across product lines
  • Collaborate with firmware teams on microcontroller selection, memory architecture, and peripheral interfaces
  • Support contract manufacturers through prototyping, bring-up, test development, and production ramp

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities for Success:

  • 8-15 years experience in PCB design for embedded systems and power electronics
  • Expert proficiency in Altium Designer (v18+) including multi-board projects and multi layer designs as well as analytical design optimization tools
  • Proficiency in embedded systems including microcontrollers, FPGAs, and communication interfaces
  • Significant experience with power electronics layout including thermal management and high-current routing
  • Experience with high-speed digital design (DDR interfaces, differential pairs, impedance control)
  • Previous experience developing PCBs for agricultural/automotive/aerospace applications that meet strict environmental (vibration, temperature, high humidity, EMC) and regulatory requirements.
  • Understanding of manufacturing processes, component selection, and cost optimization
  • Willingness to travel ~10% of the time to support products in the production & field environments with a demonstrated ability to work directly with internal and external stakeholders/customers
  • BS+ in Electrical Engineering or related field
