Skills: Rust
ABOUT THE COMPANY The datacenter buildout is the largest industrial project in human history. Gradient builds the autonomous robots that make it possible. Partnered with the world's largest AI infrastructure companies and backed by the industry's best investors, we move fast and build full-stack systems that matter. About the role We’re looking for a Senior Power Electronics Engineer to own the electrical and power architecture of Gradient’s robots: how they’re powered, how they sense, and how they’re controlled. This is an end-to-end ownership role with power electronics at its core. You’ll define our power architecture from input power down to the motor drives and sensors, run the trade studies that set our design direction, and take boards from schematic through bring-up to production. You’ll partner closely with mechanical and software teams, and the standards you set will shape every machine we ship. The electronics you design become the nervous system of our robots. Responsibilities - Own power architecture end-to-end: define power distribution, conversion, and protection across our robots, and run the trade studies behind key design decisions - Systems design - Design and validate power electronics, including DC/DC converters, motor drives, gate drivers, power distribution boards, and protection circuitry, from schematic and layout through bring-up and test - Own instrumentation and controls: partner with mechanical engineers on sensing and actuation, build electronics with custom PCBs or industrial components, and write firmware that gives software a reliable control interface - Take designs to production: drive thermal performance and manufacturability, and partner with board vendors and contract manufacturers on yield - Own electrical safety and compliance: set high-power and high-voltage safety practices for our lab and build floor, design for compliance from the start (EMI/EMC, harmonics, arc flash, product safety), and take our robots through testing an…
