Vimaan is looking for a Lead Electrical Engineer to drive the development, implementation and market introduction of robots and other embedded systems products. The position will be based in San Jose, CA. We have multiple projects that need hands-on leadership – including design, integration and support of electrical and embedded systems with multiple sensors (sensors, cameras, batteries, motors, multiple interfaces, etc.) into compact packages; actuation mechanisms and motor control; battery charging schemes, digital and analog hardware, etc.
The candidate will be a part of the efforts to design, implement and run the electrical engineering capabilities that are necessary to enable operation and command/control. This will include an on board computer (integrated SoC), sensor integration, BMS and battery management, wireless radio implementation, communication and link management algorithms, user interface hardware integration, and finally, processing of data on board the computer to enable both data capture as well as control. The candidate will also be expected to play a lead role in troubleshooting problems in the field as well as improving the efficiency and reliability of the entire platform.
The candidate needs to be deeply hands-on and capable of self-guidance; must have experience with electrical design and simulation tools, and also experience with PCB hardware – specifically bring-up and troubleshooting. Prior experience with robotics and imaging / sensor systems is a plus. The candidate should have a demonstrated ability to work within a team of mechanical, software and other architects and engineers.

• Supporting the team in architecting, designing, developing and assembling productizable electrical sub-systems.
• Productization of several concepts and engineering designs – including implementation, manufacturability, vendor qualification and cost management.
• Deep involvement in the platform integration – including the electrical and embedded system, final test, and system deployment and support.
• Close communication and interaction with various functions within the organization
• Ability to be deeply hands-on and take full ownership of projects
