The Bot Company
We're a lean, multidisciplinary team of engineers building the future of home robotics.
Our mission is to automate mundane tasks and give people back their time to focus on what they love.
We work across the stack with a culture built for rapid iteration and fast execution.
What we look for in all candidates
All roles at The Bot Company demand extreme sharpness and the ability to move fast in high-intensity environments. Throughout the process, we expect candidates to demonstrate:
Exceptional mental acuity: you think quickly, learn instantly, and reason across unfamiliar domains.
Engineering curiosity: you naturally dig into how systems work, even outside your specialty.
-
High performance mindset: you move fast, handle ambiguity, and excel when the environment is demanding.
Electrical Engineer — Batteries, Power Distribution & Charger
You’ll design the high-efficiency power systems that drive our robots end-to-end. This includes Lithium-ion Batteries, fuel gauges, charging circuits, power converters, transient protection, load switches, and everything required to deliver clean, reliable power across the system.
Qualifications
Experience designing and manufacturing rechargeable battery packs in consumer products, e-bikes, or robotics.
Expert at system-level power architecture and designing power distribution circuits that are robust enough to withstand real world conditions.
Proven ability to design high-efficiency AC-DC chargers with an understanding of various topologies and their trade-offs. .
Hands-on experience with end-to-end PCB design for power distribution (e-fuses, high/low-side switches, current sensing, grounding strategies).
Experience designing Li-ion battery fuel gauges, fault protection, and balancing.
Strong grasp of EMI/EMC design and compliance testing for low-noise, high-density power hardware. Experience taking a product through UL or CE testing.
Skilled in hands-on board bring-up, validation, and debugging. Ability to write basic unit test firmware a plus.
Proven ability to ship consumer products at scale, experience working with CMs, and the ability to design for manufacture and test.
What You’ll Do
Own multiple power-related PCB designs from end-to-end across our robot, including performing schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, vendor communication, bring-up and failure analysis.
Work cross-functionally with other engineers and designers to integrate batteries, chargers, BMS circuitry, and distribution hardware into the product.the broader system.
Drive EMI/EMC performance, ensure system-wide resilience to back-EMF and current spikes, and thermal integrity across designs.
Move quickly and independently to iterate on real-world-tested power designs.
Why Join
You’ll work with a small, elite team on challenges that require speed, intelligence, and deep engineering instinct. If you enjoy understanding systems at all levels, move fast, and think even faster, you’ll thrive here.
