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.
