Electrical Engineering

The Bot Company

We're building a helpful robot for every home.

We're a small team of engineers, designers, and operators based in San Francisco. Our team comes from Tesla, Cruise, OpenAI, Google, Pixar, and many other great companies. In the past we've shipped to hundreds of millions of users and know what it takes to build amazing products and experiences.

Our team is deliberately lean to promote rapid decision making and do away with bureaucracy and hierarchy. Everyone is an IC and is empowered with massive scope, radical ownership, and direct responsibility. 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

You’ll design the core electronics that power, move, and sense the world for our robots. This includes high-efficiency power systems (batteries, chargers, distribution), BLDC motor control electronics, or compute and multi-camera hardware.

Qualifications

We’re looking for extremely talented individuals in one or more of the following areas:

• Power Systems: Li-ion battery packs, BMS/fuel gauging, AC-DC/DC-DC conversion, power distribution, EMI/EMC, charger design
• Motor Control: BLDC controllers, MOSFETs/gate drivers, current sensing, FOC systems, protection circuits, high-frequency layout
• Compute & Vision: Jetson-class carrier boards, MIPI/GMSL camera systems, high-speed interfaces (PCIe, USB, CAN, etc.), multi-camera synchronization

And generally:

• End-to-end PCB design (schematic → layout → bring-up → validation)
• Strong debugging skills and experience with real hardware under load
• Solid understanding of EMI/EMC, thermal, and system-level tradeoffs
• Experience shipping hardware products and working with manufacturers

What You’ll Do

• Own hardware designs end-to-end
• Build, bring up, debug, and iterate on real robotic systems
• Collaborate cross-functionally with firmware, mechanical, and systems teams
• Design for reliability, manufacturability, and performance in real-world conditions

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.
