Operating daily in diverse urban environments, RIVR's robots continuously learn from and navigate the millions of scenarios encountered during deliveries. By owning the full stack from software to hardware, RIVR is purpose-built for safety, reliability, and the customer from day one. \nAs a Electronics Engineer - Carrier Board, you will own the design of GPU/SoC carrier boards for our robotic compute platform - from schematic capture through PCB layout, bring-up, and production release. You will integrate high-speed digital interfaces and sensor front-ends into compact, reliable board designs for mobile Physical AI applications. Beyond technical depth, you will manage supplier and partner relationships, define development priorities, and drive sourcing decisions. You are the technical owner of the carrier board, not just a layout executor.\nKey job responsibilities\nDesign and own carrier boards for GPU/SoC compute modules end-to-end: requirements → schematic → layout → bring-up → production release.\nIntegrate high-speed digital interfaces such as multi-gigabit Ethernet, DDR4, PCIe, MIPI CSI-2, GMSL SerDes, and USB 3.x.\nDesign electrical front-ends for sensors and modules including cameras, LIDARs, RADARs, and wireless connectivity (WiFi/5G).\nManage supplier and partner relationships: SoC vendors, connector suppliers, contract manufacturers, and module providers.\nEvaluate and select components and suppliers based on cost, availability, quality, and roadmap fit.\nDefine and own development milestones and timelines; coordinate across internal teams and external partners.\nMake trade-off decisions (features vs. schedule vs. cost) and communicate them clearly to stakeholders.\nPerform board bring-up, debug, and validation of high-speed interfaces.\nProvide signal integrity guidance for PCB layout (impedance control, length-matching, stackup definition).\nCollaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, and systems engineering teams.\nBasic qualifications\n- 5+ years designing carrier boards or motherboards for GPU/SoC compute modules.\n- Proven track record integrating high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., DDR4, PCIe, multi-gig Ethernet, GMSL) at board level.\n- Experience owning a board design end-to-end from requirements through production release.\n- Ideally worked in mobile, edge-compute, or automotive-adjacent applications (robotics, autonomous vehicles, drones, mobile AI platforms).\n- Hands-on schematic capture and PCB layout skills (Altium, OrCAD, or equivalent).\n- Strong understanding of signal integrity fundamentals.\n- Demonstrated ability to manage supplier and partner relationships and drive sourcing decisions.\n- Comfortable defining priorities, timelines, and trade-offs for a board development project.\n- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug high-speed interfaces during bring-up.\n- Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a closely related field.\nPreferred qualifications\n- Experience with NVIDIA Jetson, Orin, or Drive platform carrier board design.\n- Signal integrity simulation experience (eye-diagram analysis, S-parameter extraction).\n- Familiarity with automotive-grade design requirements (temperature range, vibration, component qualification).\n- Experience with power delivery design for high-current GPU modules.\n- Knowledge of thermal management integration at PCB level.\n- EMC/EMI pre-compliance testing experience.\nAmazon is an equal opportunities employer.
