InLoop builds warehouse robots that run fully autonomously in customer warehouses today. The fleet is growing quickly, and the demand is huge.
We're hiring a senior electrical engineer to own the electrical side of the robot: harnesses, power, boards and the safety circuit. You'll work directly with our hardware team and make the electrical calls on every robot we ship.
This is a hands on role. You design the harness and then build the first one yourself. Some weeks that's laying out a board, some weeks it's rewiring an arm on the bench.
**What you'll work on first**
\- **Wiring through moving parts.** Cable choice, routing through joints, bend radius, torsion, flex life, strain relief and abrasion. The arm harness has to bend, twist, survive scratches and take a hit when the arm collides with something. Getting this right is the main reason we're hiring.
\- **Arm wiring.** Rework the wiring on our arms, from picking the cable and connectors to building the first set.
\- **Power.** Supplies, fusing and distribution across the robot, including regenerative current from the motors, ESD and grounding.
\- **Safety circuit.** Design the e-stop and safety circuit to ISO 13849 and IEC 60204-1, fully independent of the AI, and own it through our CE process.
\- **Compute board.** Design our own carrier board for a Jetson Orin module with GMSL2 cameras, power, CAN and I/O on one board, replacing the off the shelf boxes we use today. You'll work from our camera vendor's reference design and with an external design house where it makes sense.
\- **Production test.** Build the electrical checks every robot passes before it leaves our assembly line.
\- **The whole robot.** Anything electrical that makes the robot more reliable, cheaper or faster to build.
**What we're looking for**
\- 3 to 5 years designing electrical systems for things that move: robot arms, mobile robots, actuated mechanisms, automotive or drones
\- You've designed harnesses that run through joints or other moving parts, and you've seen how they fail
\- You've designed PCBs yourself and brought them up on the bench
\- DC power distribution, motor power and protection circuits
\- Hands on with machine safety (ISO 13849 or IEC 62061, and IEC 60204-1) or e-stop circuits that went through a CE assessment or audit
\- You think across the mechanical and electrical boundary: strain relief, enclosures, tolerances, heat
\- You've made electronics survive real environments: dust, vibration, ESD and electrical noise
\- You design for the hundredth robot, not just the first one
\- You're as comfortable with a soldering iron and crimp tool as you are in KiCad or Altium
\- Comfortable in mechanical CAD: routing a harness through the arm model, designing a bracket or a strain relief
**Nice to have**
\- Carrier board design around a Jetson module, including GMSL2 cameras (deserializer, power over coax, MIPI CSI)
\- Debugging CAN and Ethernet on a running robot
\- EMC pre-compliance and testing
\- Li-ion packs, BMS and charging
\- Embedded Linux and sensor integration
\- German
\- Driving license
**How to apply**
Apply here and include photos or files of something you designed and built, like a board or a harness. That tells us more than a CV.
