Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses.\nThe Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.\nWho We Are\nWe are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end-to-end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.\nResponsibilities\nDesign and validate electrical circuits, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and interconnect systems for autonomous robotic platforms.\n\nDevelop schematics, component selections, and electrical designs that meet product performance, reliability, and cost requirements.\n\nSupport PCB layout reviews and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure manufacturable and maintainable designs.\n\nPerform bring-up, validation, and characterization of new electrical hardware in partnership with firmware and software teams.\n\nTroubleshoot electrical and system-level issues and conduct structured root cause analysis to identify and resolve failures.\n\nDevelop and execute test plans to verify electrical subsystem performance and reliability.\n\nContribute to prototype development, hardware integration, and system testing activities throughout the product lifecycle.\n\nPartner with manufacturing teams, vendors, and suppliers to support builds, issue resolution, and design improvements.\n\nCreate and maintain engineering documentation, test results, and design records to support product development and manufacturing.\n\nProvide occasional onsite support for prototype builds, manufacturing activities, and engineering validation efforts.\n\nQualifications\nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline, or equivalent practical experience\n\n5+ years of experience in the design and test of electrical systems in the robotics, consumer electronics, or other applicable fields\n\nHands-on experience in debugging and testing electrical subsystems using typical lab equipment (oscilloscope, function generator, spectrum analyzer, electronic load, etc.)\n\nExperience designing, integrating, and debugging embedded systems\n\nExperience in hardware prototype bring-up, debug, fault detection, and failure analysis\n\nExperience in one of the major ECAD tools (Altium preferred)\n\nWhat Makes You Stand Out\nExperience with high speed circuits and signal integrity measurements\n\nExperience in debugging common interfaces (e.g. CAN, SPI, UART, I2C, USB)\n\nExperience developing software scripts (Python, Bash) for automating hardware tests\n\nExperience in testing for EMC/EMI compliance\n\nFamiliarity with the Nvidia Jetson platform\n\nExperience with one or more sensor modalities (e.g. camera, LiDAR, radar, ultrasonic)\n\nExperience with cellular networking\n\nExperience with cable harness design\n\nExperience working with factory support and overseas vendor partnerships\n\nExperience in working with internal and external developers, test teams, lab technicians\n\nAdditional Information\nThis role may require occasional travel to support prototype builds, manufacturing activities, supplier engagement, and engineering validation efforts. Candidates should be comfortable working in laboratory, development, and manufacturing environments as needed.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3874,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotics","Retail & Commercial Robotics","Service & Hospitality Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-01T18:23:58Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":76,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.841,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":46,"expected_fill_days":86,"reasons":["conf:4","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":148000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/serve-robotics-electrical-engineer-3","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/serve-robotics-electrical-engineer-3.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T18:14:59Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":944,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2805},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2805"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fserve-robotics-electrical-engineer-3"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fserve-robotics-electrical-engineer-3"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fserve-robotics-electrical-engineer-3"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/serve-robotics-electrical-engineer-3\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fserve-robotics-electrical-engineer-3"}]}
