About Standard Bots
At Standard Bots, we're revolutionizing real-world automation by making robotic systems accessible to everyone. Our AI-powered platform enables robots to tackle unprecedented challenges through an intuitive instruction interface, bringing the power of software automation to physical spaces.
Responsibilities
Assist senior engineers in the design of PCBAs for robotics systems (including motor controllers, power distribution, and sensor interface boards).
Create schematics for sub-circuits and perform PCB layout for simpler designs or breakout boards under the guidance of a mentor.
Help maintain the component library by creating and verifying symbols and footprints.
Support board bring-up activities, execute test plans, measure signal quality, and troubleshoot hardware issues in the lab.
Assist in preparing fabrication and assembly files (Gerbers, BOMs) and release them to manufacturing.
Work closely with Mechanical and Software engineering teams to ensure hardware integrates physically and functionally.
Communicate with PCB fabrication and assembly vendors to resolve simple engineering questions (EQs).
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
Demonstrated experience designing, building, and testing electronics through university capstone projects, research labs, or internships.
EE Fundamentals:
Power Electronics: Understanding of buck/boost converters, LDOs, and motor drivers.
Digital Electronics: Familiarity with Microcontrollers (MCU), common interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART), and basic high-speed concepts.
Analog Electronics: Op-amps, filters, and sensing circuits.
Basic proficiency with Altium Designer (or similar tools like KiCad/Eagle) for schematic capture and PCB layout.
Experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and soldering irons to debug hardware.
Experience troubleshooting bugs and documenting findings.
Ability to articulate technical concepts and ask questions when stuck.
Preferred Qualifications:
Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
Experience with Python or MATLAB for data analysis or test automation.
Exposure to Embedded C/C++ programming for MCUs or DSPs.
Familiarity with simulation tools like LTspice.
Participation in student competitions like Formula SAE, Solar Car, or Robotics Club.
Coursework or project exposure to high-speed interfaces (USB, Ethernet) or camera systems (MIPI, GMSL).
Understanding of basic rigid-flex or HDI PCB concepts.
Interest in motor control theory or robotic locomotion.
Compensation & Benefits
The expected annual base compensation for this role is $80,000 – $100,000 USD. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level. Leveling, as well as positioning within a level, is determined by a range of factors, including, but not limited to, a candidate's relevant years of experience, domain knowledge, and interview performance.
Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.
