About Maven
Maven Robotics designs, builds, and deploys intelligent robotics for logistics and manufacturing. Maven is building the first general-purpose robotics system for industrial work. Our mission is to activate autonomous labor at scale and build toward infinitely elastic industrial capacity. We’re a team of engineers, researchers, and operators who have spent our careers working on the hardest problems in AI, robotics, engineering, and autonomous systems. We work at the intersection of advanced research and real-world engineering, turning ideas into prototypes and deployed systems.
At Maven, we build around the realities of industrial work. The robots are designed from first principles for complex physical environments and rigorous commercial standards. They master real tasks that deliver immediate impact, industrial-grade reliability, and intelligence that compounds at scale. We’re growing an ambitious team of people who think in systems, move quickly, and are builders at heart.
About the Role
As a Senior Electrical Engineer focused on High-Speed Hardware Design at Maven Robotics, you will design, develop, and validate high-performance electronic systems that enable reliable, high-speed communication and data processing across our robotic platforms. You will own the development of complex digital circuits and PCBAs, from initial architecture through detailed design, signal integrity analysis, board bring-up, and system integration. Working closely with cross-functional engineering teams, you will help deliver robust, high-speed hardware built for demanding real-world environments.
What You’ll Do
• Design and develop high-speed digital circuits and complex multilayer PCBAs for advanced robotic systems.
• Define hardware architectures, select components, and evaluate design trade-offs to meet performance, power, and reliability requirements.
• Design and integrate high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, USB, Ethernet, and MIPI.
• Perform signal integrity, power integrity, and timing analyses to optimize PCB layout and ensure reliable system performance.
• Collaborate with mechanical, software, systems, and integration teams to define electrical interfaces, packaging constraints, and system requirements.
• Lead PCB design reviews, hardware bring-up, debugging, design verification, and validation testing.
• Partner with vendors and manufacturers to support PCB fabrication, assembly, component sourcing, and design for manufacturability (DFM).
• Drive hardware development from concept through prototyping, testing, and production release.
What We’re Looking For
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of electrical engineering experience designing high-speed digital circuits, complex PCBAs, or embedded electronic systems.
• Strong experience with high-speed PCB design, multilayer board stack-ups, impedance control, and differential pair routing.
• Hands-on experience designing high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, USB, Ethernet, or MIPI.
• Proficiency with eCAD tools for schematic capture, PCB layout, and circuit simulation.
• Strong understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, timing analysis, and electromagnetic interference (EMI/EMC).
• Experience with board bring-up, debugging, and validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to independently drive hardware designs while collaborating across teams.
Nice to Have
• Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Expert proficiency with Altium Designer.
• Experience with signal and power integrity simulation tools such as Ansys SIwave, HyperLynx, or similar.
• Experience designing hardware for robotics, autonomous systems, industrial automation, or other complex electromechanical platforms.
• Familiarity with high-speed connectors, cables, EMI/EMC compliance, and thermal management.
