About Mecka AI
Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems.
We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware.
The Role
You'll design the electronics that turn physical experience into data robots can learn from. You'll build the boards and sensor interfaces behind Mecka's capture hardware, taking designs from schematics and first power-on through validation and production. As Mecka expands data collection around the world, your engineering decisions will shape signal quality, power consumption, and the performance of complete recording systems.
What You'll Do
Design circuits and schematics, and develop or review PCB layouts for capture and sensing hardware.
Bring up new boards and diagnose power, signal, timing, and communication problems on the bench.
Partner with firmware and mechanical engineers to validate complete systems under realistic recording workloads.
Work with suppliers to improve designs based on prototype results, production tests, component qualification, and field failures.
Document designs, measurements, and design changes clearly so others can build on your work.
What You Bring
3-4 years of experience designing and bringing up electronics hardware.
Depth in at least one of these specializations:
Digital hardware: SoC boards, memory, high-speed interfaces, signal and power integrity, and board bring-up.
Sensor electronics: low-noise acquisition, microcontrollers, compact circuits, and C or C++ firmware for hardware integration.
Experience designing schematics and PCBs in tools such as Altium or KiCad, and bringing up the resulting hardware.
A strong foundation in analog and digital electronics, power supplies, grounding, decoupling, and sensor interfaces.
Practical debugging skills with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, and electronic loads.
Ability to reason about signal quality, timing, power consumption, and how electronics and firmware interact.
Hands-on prototyping and rework skills.
Nice-to-have:
Experience with flexible circuits, EMC, wireless systems, battery-powered devices, or production testing.
A Note on Applying
Studies show women and candidates from underrepresented groups often only apply when they meet 100% of the listed qualifications, while others apply after meeting 60%. If you don't check every box above but believe you can do the job, we encourage you to apply - we're looking for capability and trajectory, not a perfect checklist match.
Inclusive Hiring at Mecka
We are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive candidate experience. Should you require any accommodation whatsoever during the interview process, please inform us without any hesitation. Mecka is dedicated to ensuring equal treatment and opportunity in all phases of recruitment, selection, and employment, in compliance with employment law.

Use of Artificial Intelligence in Recruitment
Mecka uses artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly to support administrative and efficiency-focused aspects of our recruitment process. This includes activities such as drafting job descriptions, generating interview questions, note-taking and recordings, and supporting sourcing and scheduling workflows. All candidate evaluations, interviews, and hiring decisions are made by members of the Mecka team. While AI tools may assist with screening and assessment, they do not replace human judgment in selection decisions. Our use of AI is intended to streamline routine tasks, improve consistency, and enhance the overall candidate experience. We are committed to upholding principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability in all hiring activities. Mecka regularly reviews its recruitment practices to mitigate bias and to ensure alignment with applicable laws and evolving best practices.
