Electrical Systems Engineer

About Us:
Founded in 2019, Peer Robotics is a collaborative mobile robotics company, building material handling solutions for small and medium-scale manufacturers. Today’s automation is extremely difficult to integrate and deploy, limiting adoption to large enterprises. At Peer, we have brought together a team of experts in the field of robotics, hardware, and software to build robots capable of learning from humans in real-time, providing flexible and adaptable solutions that can be deployed by people on the shop floor.

Our vision is to build robots that are as simple as smart home devices to integrate and deploy on the shop floors. We are a venture-backed startup with active sales, deployments, and revenue in the US and India. With a strong focus on R&D and fast pace product development.

Role Overview
The Electrical Systems Engineer will operate both as an entrepreneur and an advanced individual contributor. Using a broad range of skill sets and practical experience in successfully architecting, designing, and implementing electrical systems for complex autonomous systems. The role would require a strong understanding of the electrical, controls, and communication protocols for developing system architecture, motor controls, and auxiliary systems/sensing modules. The role will require exceptional communication skills, to understand requirements and pain points from hardware and software teams, and build optimized solutions to empower both teams.

Location: Gurugram

Desired Experience: Successfully built electrical systems in the past with wide-ranging power and communication distribution systems

First 90 Days:

• The first 30 days will be focused on getting a deep understanding of the existing system, electrical stack (system architecture, part selection process, wire harness, etc.), existing challenges, and goals
• 30-90 days would be focused on architecting and kicking off the improvement of the current electrical system followed by generating/upgrading production-ready data.

What we are looking for (you do not need to meet 100%):

1. Electrical System Design: Design and develop electrical systems for autonomous systems, including power distribution, control systems, communication systems, and sensor integration.
2. PCB Design: Develop schematic diagrams and oversee the layout design of high-quality PCBs, considering factors such as signal integrity, power distribution, thermal management, and manufacturability.
3. Component Selection: Research, evaluate, and select appropriate electronic components, including microcontrollers, sensors, connectors, and power management devices, ensuring they meet performance, reliability, and environmental requirements.
4. System Integration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers and mechanical engineers, to integrate electrical systems seamlessly into the overall product architecture.
5. Testing and Verification: Design and execute rigorous testing plans to validate the functionality, performance, and reliability of electrical systems, firmware, and PCBs. Identify and resolve any issues or anomalies that arise during testing.
6. Firmware Development: Design, develop, and implement embedded firmware for various components of our systems, including control systems, sensors, communication modules, and power management systems.
7. Documentation: Create detailed documentation, including specifications, test procedures, and user manuals, to ensure efficient and effective system maintenance, troubleshooting, and future development.
8. Continuous Improvement: Stay updated with the latest advancements in firmware development, board design, and relevant technologies. Identify opportunities to enhance system performance, reduce cost, and optimize manufacturing processes.

Perks and Benefits:

• Opportunity to be a part of a small team changing the way industrial automation exists
• Complete freedom to explore and develop innovative solutions to our embedded systems
• Be a leader and build your team as we expand
• Competitive salary
• Equity options
• Flexible working hours and schedules
