Top Engineering Jobs in Austin, TX

Lead and build the Manufacturing Engineering team while scaling complex robotic hardware from prototypes to repeatable production. Own process development, tooling, manufacturing definitions, production readiness, yield improvement, DFM/DFA, PFMEA, process validation, and technical transfers. Partner with Engineering, Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, and contract manufacturers to improve quality, cost, throughput, and production ramp performance.

Own the board support package and OS configuration for NVIDIA Jetson platforms in humanoid robots. Develop board bring-up, boot chains, kernels, device drivers, reproducible OS images, real-time tuning, secure boot, OTA updates, and fleet provisioning. Debug hardware and field issues, review schematics, define hardware requirements, and collaborate with firmware, hardware, robotics software, QA, validation, and manufacturing teams from prototype through production.

Develop and maintain firmware for humanoid robot dexterous hands, including motor control, sensor integration, real-time communications, distributed MCU networks, hardware bring-up, and HIL/SIL testing. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers from prototype through production. Support firmware reliability, telemetry, diagnostics, field-failure analysis, code reviews, and design reviews while developing embedded systems expertise with mentorship.

Designs, analyzes, builds, tests, and validates drivetrain technologies for robotic electric actuators. Responsibilities include gear and gearbox design, bearing and lubrication selection, materials and manufacturing process selection, FEA, documentation, pilot builds, DVP&R, and design optimization for scalability and manufacturability. Collaborates with cross-disciplinary engineering teams to develop high-performance, cost-effective robotic drivetrain systems.

Lead the design, analysis, prototyping, testing, and documentation of rotary and linear actuators for humanoid robots. Collaborate cross-functionally, mentor junior engineers, perform FEA and DVP&R, create GD&T drawings and BOMs, support pilot builds, and optimize designs for scalability and design for manufacture and assembly.

Lead the end-to-end architecture and implementation of Apollo humanoid robot’s compute and sensing hardware. Design NVIDIA Jetson carrier boards, high-speed interfaces, power and thermal systems, sensor integration, synchronization pipelines, diagnostics, redundancy, and functional-safety mechanisms. Drive manufacturability, reliability, roadmap development, technical reviews, and mentorship of electrical and embedded engineers.

Develop and deploy actuator models and low-level controls for humanoid robots. Responsibilities include motor and actuator modeling, torque and current control, system identification, hardware characterization, controller tuning, sim-to-real validation, experiment automation, simulator integration, and hardware bring-up. The role requires strong C++ and Python skills, motor electromechanics expertise, classical control knowledge, and hands-on experience with real robotic hardware.

Leads system-level architecture, integration, verification, and lifecycle development for a humanoid robot chassis. Responsibilities include defining requirements, integrating mechanical, electrical, power, thermal, wiring, and controls subsystems, conducting trade studies and testing, supporting prototype-to-production development, qualifying suppliers, and driving reliability, safety, manufacturability, diagnostics, and failure analysis.

Lead end-to-end integration, validation, troubleshooting, and production deployment of perception hardware for humanoid robots. Responsibilities include custom camera and sensor module development, optical vendor and contract manufacturer coordination, ISP tuning, high-speed video link debugging, camera-LiDAR-IMU synchronization, calibration fixture deployment, DVT and EOL testing, and cross-functional technical leadership across mechanical, thermal, industrial design, software, and manufacturing teams.

Own and maintain Altium ECAD libraries, including schematic symbols, PCB footprints, pad stacks, and 3D models. Ensure component accuracy, IPC and JEDEC compliance, DFM/DFA readiness, standardized metadata, lifecycle governance, and revision control. Manage part-introduction workflows, audits, and ECAD-to-PLM integration while collaborating with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, supply chain, and contract manufacturing teams. Automate library processes through scripting and support board bring-up and design reviews.
