Senior Electronics Engineer - Robotics

**About the company:** Rapyuta Robotics Koto-ku, Tokyo Building low­ cost, lightweight autonomous mobile robots with high-level intelligence distributed in the cloud, and enabling such robots to offload some of their heavy computation and seamlessly learn and share experiences with one another. **Responsibilities:** Design and own PCBAs for the robot, elevator, battery exchange cabinet and Guardian: schematics, layout review, BOM and release documents. Assemble, rework, bring up and validate prototypes in Tokyo: power, ESD/EMC pre-tests, thermal and functional tests, with written test reports. Support Japanese manufacturing partners and supply chain: design handover, inspection and test fixtures, first-article checks, alternatives for end-of-life or long-lead parts. Be our escalation engineer in Japan for electronics issues at Japanese customer sites: analyse boards returned from the field, lead root-cause analysis and drive corrective actions with the designer or the manufacturer to closure. Design, build and maintain test jigs and fixtures for production and field returns. Contribute to the next-generation robot electronics (motor control, power, battery) together with our engineering teams in India and China, and review their designs for manufacturability and field reliability. Depending on the team you join: electronics and electrical work on our AMR, autonomous forklift (AFL) and ASRS elevator, including wiring, harnesses and power distribution. Requirements 7+ years designing electronic hardware that went to mass production, in robotics, automotive, industrial automation or similar. Solid analog, digital and power design: DC/DC conversion, battery and charging circuits, BLDC/PMSM motor drive, protection (ESD, surge, reverse polarity). Microcontroller-based designs and interfaces: GPIO, PWM, ADC, I2C, SPI, UART, CAN. Schematic and layout tools (KiCad, Altium Designer or equivalent), oscilloscope, logic analyzer, electronic load, soldering and rework. B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or equivalent. Business-level English. Nice to haves While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following. EMC/ESD design and pre-compliance testing (IEC 61000-4-2, CE, FCC). Design transfer to contract manufacturers (DFM, DFT, test fixtures); lithium-ion battery pack or BMS experience. Electrical design: wiring and harness design, power distribution, control panels (most useful for AMR work). Python or scripting for test automation.
