Senior Electrical Engineer

DexmateSan Jose, CAApril 14th, 2026
Dexmate is building the foundation for physical AI — combining a new generation of robots with a universal Physical AI OS, making robots as easy to build and deploy as software. Today, robotics is fragmented, slow, and closed: most builders are forced to reinvent the same stack again and again, and most ideas never make it past the prototype stage. We exist to change that. Our mission is to democratize robotics by lowering the barrier to entry, delivering a plug-and-play platform for developers, researchers, and enterprises, and cultivating an open ecosystem that accelerates the evolution of physical AI. If you want to help shape the next layer of human capability — and believe the future of robotics should be built together, not in isolation — we'd love to build it with you.The RoleWe are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and validate the core electrical subsystems of our general-purpose robot platforms. You will own power electronics, motor drive circuits, sensor integration, and PCB design — from schematic through bring-up to production-ready hardware.This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You will make architecture decisions, drive subsystems end-to-end, and be accountable for hardware that ships on every unit.ResponsibilitiesOwn end-to-end design of power electronics subsystems: battery management, power distribution, protection circuits, and DC-DC conversionDesign and validate motor drive circuits for high-performance actuation, including FOC/BLDC/PMSM control topologiesDesign sensor integration circuits for IMUs, encoders, hall-effect sensors, force/torque sensors, and thermal sensorsCreate schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence Allegro, KiCad), owning the full cycle from concept through layout review, prototype bring-up, and production releasePerform circuit simulation (LTspice or equivalent) and systematic hardware validation using oscilloscopes, current probes, power analyzers, and spectrum analyzersApply EMI/EMC design principles from the start; support FCC, CE, and UL certification as we move toward commercial deploymentDrive DFM/DFA decisions to ensure designs are manufacturable and testable at production scaleInstrument boards and conduct board-level bring-up, power-on sequencing, and subsystem verificationCollaborate daily with firmware engineers on hardware/software interfaces and with mechanical engineers on physical integration and thermal constraintsDocument designs with the rigor required for CM handoff and engineering reviewMinimum Qualifications5+ years of electrical engineering experience in robotics, industrial automation, automotive, or consumer electronics — with at least one product shipped to productionHands-on PCB design experience in industry-standard EDA tools (Altium, Cadence Allegro, KiCad, or equivalent) for complex, multi-layer boards with high-speed digital, power, and mixed-signal on the same designProven experience designing power electronics: BMS, power distribution, protection circuits, or DC-DC conversionMotor drive design experience — BLDC, PMSM, or servo drive circuits, ideally with FOC topologyStrong bench skills: oscilloscope, current probe, power analyzer, logic/spectrum analyzer, signal integrity debugAbility to read and interpret electronic circuit diagrams; comfortable integrating sensors and actuatorsExperience with DFM/DFA and working directly with contract manufacturersExperience designing complex multilayer PCBs (8+ layers), including controlled impedance routing, mixed-signal design, and high-speed differential pairsPreferred QualificationsExperience taking a product through FCC, CE, or UL certification, including EMC pre-compliance testingFunctional safety design experience (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, or equivalent)Familiarity with embedded firmware at the hardware/firmware boundary — enough to co-debug with firmware engineers without needing translationExperience with high-density or thermally-constrained PCB layoutsBackground in production test fixture design and manufacturing rampProficiency in Python or similar scripting for test automationHands-on use of AI-assisted EDA or coding tools in your design workflow
