Senior Electrical Engineer
What you need
- 3-5 yrs electrical design for moving systems (robots, automotive, drones)
- Harness design through joints/moving parts with failure analysis
- PCB design and bench bring-up experience
- DC power distribution, motor power, protection circuits
- Machine safety standards (ISO 13849, IEC 60204-1) and CE assessment
What you'll do
- Own robot electrical: harnesses, power, boards, safety circuit
- Design wiring through moving parts (cable routing, bend radius, flex life)
- Design power distribution, motor regen, ESD, grounding
- Design safety circuit to ISO 13849/IEC 60204-1, own CE process
- Design Jetson Orin carrier board with GMSL2, power, CAN, I/O
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.
- Production test. Build the electrical checks every robot passes before it leaves our assembly line.
- The whole robot. Anything electrical that makes the robot more reliable, cheaper or faster to build.
What we're looking for
- 3 to 5 years designing electrical systems for things that move: robot arms, mobile robots, actuated mechanisms, automotive or drones
- You've designed harnesses that run through joints or other moving parts, and you've seen how they fail
- You've designed PCBs yourself and brought them up on the bench
- DC power distribution, motor power and protection circuits
- Hands on with machine safety (ISO 13849 or IEC 62061, and IEC 60204-1) or e-stop circuits that went through a CE assessment or audit
- You think across the mechanical and electrical boundary: strain relief, enclosures, tolerances, heat
- You've made electronics survive real environments: dust, vibration, ESD and electrical noise
- You design for the hundredth robot, not just the first one
- You're as comfortable with a soldering iron and crimp tool as you are in KiCad or Altium
- Comfortable in mechanical CAD: routing a harness through the arm model, designing a bracket or a strain relief
Nice to have
- Carrier board design around a Jetson module, including GMSL2 cameras (deserializer, power over coax, MIPI CSI)
- Debugging CAN and Ethernet on a running robot
- EMC pre-compliance and testing
- Li-ion packs, BMS and charging
- Embedded Linux and sensor integration
- German
- Driving license
How to apply
Apply here and include photos or files of something you designed and built, like a board or a harness. That tells us more than a CV.

About InLoop Robotics
We are building AI-native fulfillment powered by robotics. Warehouses without human labor that get better, faster, and cheaper with every order. Most robotics companies wait until their system is perfect before deploying. We don't. We ship imperfect policies into real warehouses, detect failures in real time, recover automatically when we can, and bring in a remote human operator when we can't. Every failure becomes training data. Every intervention makes the system better. The result is a fulfillment system that continuously learns from production.
