About the role

Embedded Hardware Engineer About the Role FRIDAY is Holiday's first industrial humanoid, designed to take on repetitive, physically demanding work. It works alongside people, so safety is a requirement we design for from the start - and verify. You design the circuits and PCBs of the functional safety controller board, and build the functions that detect a fault and bring the robot to a safe state. From board development and verification through production, you make sure the circuits you design turn into a robot that behaves safely. Key Areas What You'll Do • Design the circuits and PCBs of the controller board that implements the robot's functional safety. • Build the circuits for emergency stop, fault detection, and transition to a safe state. • Run board fabrication, bring-up, and debugging, and verify the safety functions. • Take the board into production and through certification, and feed what you learn back into the design. Required Qualifications • Experience designing MCU-based embedded circuits and developing boards. • Solid understanding of digital, analog, and power circuits. • Hands-on experience with component selection, schematic and PCB design, and debugging. • Ability to verify hardware and solve problems with lab instruments. Preferred Qualifications • Experience designing and implementing circuits for production products with functional safety. • Experience with requirements analysis, verification, or certification against functional safety standards. • Experience developing MCU firmware. • Experience developing robots, motor drives, or industrial controllers. What We Offer • Competitive compensation based on experience, level, and technical impact. • The tools, instruments, and lab support needed to do your best work. • The opportunity to take circuit design through production and safety verification on a humanoid that ships. • Close collaboration with engineers across mechanical, firmware, control, production, and certification.
