Electronics Engineer – Humanoid (human)

Neura Robotics • Munich

The Hardware Department is at the heart of developing our high-performance and innovative robots. It's in charge of designing, constructing, and optimizing the robot's physical components, including mechanical parts, sensors, and electrical systems. The team collaborates closely with other departments, like software development and product management, to ensure that the hardware aligns seamlessly with software and system requirements. This involves tasks like mechanical design and prototyping of components, using CAD tools and 3D printing technologies.

Job type: Full-time

Location: Munich, Obersendling

Responsibilities

• Own the electronic architecture for the multi-axis system and peripheral controllers:
  • Central controller board based on high-performance ARM Cortex-M7/M85.
  • Distributed BLDC motor drive boards (ARM Cortex-M33 class controllers).
  • Power distribution from a 48 V bus, including DC/DC conversion and protection.
• Design mixed-signal PCBs (2–8 layer range): schematics, layout, bring‑up, and test.
• Integrate and interface encoders, tactile arrays, ToF sensors, IMUs, flex sensors, and cameras.
• Work with firmware engineers on 1 kHz motor control loops, sensing requirements, and safety features.
• Define test setups, fixtures, and validation plans for your boards.
• Iterate on early prototypes (hand‑soldered & lab‑hacked) and converge on DFM/DFA‑ready designs.
• Contribute to EMC, safety, and reliability strategies for the full electromechanical system.

Qualifications

• 4+ years in electronics design for robotics, motion control, industrial, or similar domains.
• Strong experience with BLDC motor drives (gate drivers, current sensing, shunt/INA, layout for power stages).
• Hands‑on with mixed‑signal PCB layout (Altium/KiCad or similar), including grounding, separation of power/logic, and EMI‑aware routing.
• Confidence designing around ARM MCUs/SoCs, high‑speed interfaces (SPI, CAN‑FD, Ethernet, MIPI/CSI, or LVDS), and sensor front‑ends.
• Comfortable in the lab with scopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, and quick rework.
• Ability to work closely with firmware and mechanical teams on packaging, harnessing, and testability.
• Experience with dual‑core ARM implementations or high‑performance motor control ICs.
• Previous work on high‑density electromechanical assemblies or cobot end‑effectors.
• Exposure to functional safety concepts (STO, redundant sensing, safe torque off).

Benefits

• Dynamic, self‑reliant work culture with flat hierarchies, flexible hours, and 30 vacation days.
• Passionate international team aiming to redefine robot assistants.
• Competitive salary package with exclusive employee discounts.
• Community events and company gatherings celebrating successes.
• Support for personal and professional development.
