LocationIrvine, CA 92614PostedOctober 4, 2026Employment typeFull-time / In person

RobotX Inc. is an AI robotics company dedicated to enable robots to perform a wide range of tasks in both home and industrial settings—addressing challenges like labor shortages, dangerous jobs, and repetitive work. We are expanding fast, delivering next-generation humanoid robots, robotic dogs, and service robots to hotels, restaurants, schools, government agencies, and enterprise clients.

You will own the electrical systems inside RobotX humanoids and robot dogs — power, harnessing, boards, and communication — and make them reliable enough to run shift after shift in a customer's building.

Our Mission

To enhance human capabilities through advanced artificial intelligence.

Our Vision

To deploy autonomous robots globally and help solve critical challenges in the labor economy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and validate low-voltage power distribution, battery interfaces, converters, and protection for humanoid and quadruped platforms.
  • Create schematics and PCB layouts for sensor, interface, and power boards; manage fabrication and assembly vendors.
  • Design wire harnesses for power and data with proper shielding, strain relief, and serviceability.
  • Specify and debug communication links — CAN, Ethernet, USB, I2C, Wi-Fi, and cellular — between actuators, sensors, and compute.
  • Run electrical testing: power validation, signal integrity, thermal, and EMI/EMC pre-compliance.
  • Support production builds and field escalations with hands-on debugging and clear documentation.

Ideal Candidate

  • B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years designing power and interface electronics for robots, vehicles, drones, or similar electromechanical products.
  • Proficient in Altium, KiCad, or equivalent PCB tools, and in bench equipment such as oscilloscopes and power analyzers.
  • Experience designing custom harnesses and working with contract manufacturers.
  • Systems thinker who collaborates well with mechanical, firmware, and software engineers.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience taking a robot or device from prototype through production.
  • Background with battery management systems or high-current motor drive electronics.
  • Familiarity with safety and EMC standards relevant to commercial robots.

Compensation

  • Competitive base salary
  • Performance bonuses
  • Opportunities for rapid promotion as the company scales

Why Join Us

  • Work in one of the fastest-growing industries in the U.S.
  • Ship robots that run in real hotels, factories, campuses, and job sites — not just in a lab.
  • Be part of a forward-thinking team scaling nationwide robot deployments.
