About Menlo
Menlo Research is an Applied R&D lab building Asimov, an open-source humanoid robot platform, and the full software stack that powers it. Our mission is to make humanoid labor economically viable -- turning software into physical labor at scale. We build across the full stack: hardware architecture, locomotion, autonomy, simulation, and infrastructure. We move fast, ship to real robots, and open-source everything we can. If you want your work to matter beyond a paper or a demo, this is the place.
The Role
As an Electrical Engineer, you will own the design, integration, and bring-up of the electronic systems that power Asimov. From power distribution to motor control to sensor integration, you will work across schematics, PCB layouts, harness design, and hardware debug -- ensuring every electrical decision holds up in the field and integrates cleanly with the broader mechanical and firmware stack.
What You'll Do
Design and review schematics and PCB layouts for power distribution units, motor driver boards, and actuator control electronics
Integrate wiring harnesses, PCBA enclosures, and motor controllers into mechanical assemblies from the ground up
Lead bring-up of power systems, sensors, and actuator subassemblies; diagnose and resolve issues across multiple hardware revisions
Define and run electrical and system-level test protocols, analyze failure modes, and iterate based on test data
Work closely with firmware and controls teams to ensure electrical design choices support stable, low-latency control loops
Apply expertise in connector selection, grounding strategies, harness routing, and EMI suppression to ensure robust and field-reliable hardware
Contribute to Menlo's open-source design efforts, including PCB schematics and manufacturing documentation for the broader robotics community
What You'll Bring
3 or more years of hands-on electrical engineering experience on high-complexity electromechanical products
Solid understanding of electrical and electronic systems, including motor drivers, sensors, and embedded hardware integration
Deep familiarity with low-voltage (under 60V) DC power systems, DC-DC converters, MOSFET gate drivers, current-sense amplifiers, and passive network design
Proficiency using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and CAN/UART sniffers for in-depth hardware debug
Expertise in connector selection, grounding strategies, harness routing, and EMI suppression techniques
Strong communication skills to drive alignment across firmware teams, mechanical engineers, and leadership
Bonus points for:
Experience with bipedal or humanoid robot hardware or legged locomotion platforms
Familiarity with CAN bus, motor controllers, and how electrical design choices affect firmware and control integration
Scripting experience in Python for hardware automation and data analysis
Familiarity with sim-to-real workflows and how hardware decisions affect locomotion policy training and transfer
Why Join Menlo?
You will be part of a tight-knit team defining the next generation of humanoid robots. With genuine ownership of the mechanical systems that bring Asimov to life, you will see your designs go from CAD to real-world deployments. If you thrive in fast-paced, open-collaborative environments, let's build the future of robotics together.
A Note on AI
You don't need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect everyone at Menlo to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement. When that's the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don't treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
Equal Opportunity and Accommodations
We hire talented people from a wide range of backgrounds. If you're excited about a role but don't meet every bullet, we still encourage you to apply. Menlo Research is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristic. Menlo provides reasonable accommodations during the application process. If you need one, please let your recruiter know.
