The company’s mission is to help close the U.S. housing gap of 4.5 million homes by transforming how residential structures are designed and built. Verustruct focuses on integrating advanced robotics, automation, and novel construction methods into practical, scalable solutions. Team members collaborate across disciplines to bring next-generation construction systems from concept to field deployment, with a strong emphasis on real-world impact and long-term sustainability.\nAbout the Role\nBuild the electrical systems that turn robotic construction devices into reliable, autonomous machines.\nVerustruct is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to own electrical architecture and subsystem development for our robotic construction platform. You will take systems from requirements and circuit design through board bring-up, embedded integration, machine testing, and field deployment.\nOur robots combine motors, actuators, sensors, embedded controllers, and construction processes in a demanding physical environment. You will make those systems operate predictably together, with particular attention to power integrity, communications, fault handling, serviceability, and safe machine behavior.\nThis is a hands-on technical ownership role with opportunities to mentor engineers and shape the electrical team’s standards as we grow. It is full-time and on-site in Torrance, California.\nWhat You'll Do\nDefine electrical architectures, subsystem requirements, power budgets, and interfaces across robotic formwork, locomotion, material delivery, consolidation, and auxiliary tools.\n\nOwn custom electronics from component selection and schematic capture through PCB layout, fabrication, assembly, bring-up, and revision.\n\nDevelop power-distribution, motor-control, actuator-interface, and sensor-interface hardware, including appropriate protection, grounding, shielding, and thermal management.\n\nWrite, review, and debug embedded C/C++ on STM32-class microcontrollers for sensing, actuator control, communications, diagnostics, and fault handling.\n\nDefine and validate CAN/CAN FD network architecture, including physical topology, termination, message interfaces, bus loading, and recovery behavior.\n\nDesign harnesses, connector interfaces, electrical enclosures, and service features for equipment exposed to vibration, dust, moisture, and electrically noisy loads.\n\nPartner with controls and software engineers to define timing requirements, operating states, watchdog behavior, and responses to communication or component failures.\n\nDevelop emergency-stop, interlock, and power-isolation architectures in coordination with system safety requirements and the broader engineering team.\n\nCreate verification plans, test fixtures, and automated tests that demonstrate electrical performance and fault response at board, subsystem, and machine levels.\n\nLead electrical integration and root-cause investigation, using measured evidence to resolve intermittent and cross-disciplinary failures.\n\nOwn electrical release documentation and design reviews, support suppliers and manufacturing partners, and mentor junior engineers.\n\nRequirements\nWhat We're Looking For\nSubstantial electrical product-development experience, typically 7+ years, with ownership of complex electromechanical systems.\n\nDemonstrated delivery of custom electronics from design through working hardware and integrated system testing.\n\nStrong fundamentals in analog and digital electronics, power conversion and distribution, motor drives, signal integrity, and circuit protection.\n\nProficiency in schematic capture and PCB design using KiCad, Altium, or comparable tools.\n\nPractical embedded C/C++ experience and the ability to debug hardware and firmware together.\n\nExperience integrating motors, actuators, encoders, sensors, and communications such as CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART.\n\nStrong bench skills with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, electronic loads, and other electrical test equipment.\n\nExperience with harness design, grounding, shielding, and troubleshooting noise or power-related failures in operating machines.\n\nClear technical communication, sound design-review judgment, and a willingness to work directly on prototype hardware.\n\nA degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\nBenefits\nBenefits include:\nHealth insurance: Silver PPO plan, 80% company-paid, with optional dental and vision coverage\n\nRetirement: 401(k) plan with 4% employer match\n\nTime off: Flexible PTO policy and observed federal holidays\n\nRelocation support: Available for exceptional candidates relocating to the Los Angeles / Torrance area\n\nHigh-ownership role: Opportunity to help lead mechanical engineering for a venture-backed robotics company tackling housing
