Electrical Engineer (Hiring at all Levels)

Company Overview Reflex Robotics is building affordable ($10k) wheeled humanoid robots to automate dangerous and repetitive tasks in manufacturing and logistics. We envision a future where intelligent robots are doing all kinds of boring work that people hate doing-loading chicken nuggets into Costco boxes, lifting forty pound bags of dog food at Petco stores, and cleaning up cranberry juice spills in your apartment. We are a three-year-old startup backed by Khosla Ventures, with $100M+/year of revenue lined up pending successful pilots with e-commerce warehouses.

Our robots are designed and built entirely in-house by an engineering team that include alumni from Boston Dynamics, Tesla, Waymo, Amazon Robotics, Intel, Figure, ASML and more. Reflex robots are high-performance, low-inertia, and optimized for low-cost manufacturing. We’ve built the best real-time teleoperation system in the world, allowing a remote operator in South America to “play a video game” to control our robots at human-level speeds. This has allowed us to already ship robots with positive unit economics, and enables us to create a powerful human-intervention + RL product feedback loop. Our system allows us to collect high-quality demonstrations at scale, giving us the proprietary data engine needed to train increasingly capable AI systems. We’re on track to build the largest robotics dataset in the world, which will serve as an important long-term advantage. Key Company Beliefs High-quality, proprietary robotics data is the next foundation for generational AI companies (like Tesla FSD and ChatGPT). Being nerd-sniped by maximizing an engineering metric is way less important than solving our customers’ biggest pain points. What We’re Looking For An Electrical Engineer to take design, layout, testing, and deployment of electronics on the Reflex robot. This is a high-impact role on a small team moving quickly with a lot of autonomy. Someone who can operate in a small team which means high ownership, high equity, and the chance to shape the product from the ground up. Someone who has built something they’re proud of. Whether it's a side project, an open-source contribution, or a product feature that shipped to real users. Required Qualifications - BS or higher in Electrical Engineering or related field - Generalist across electronics domains: motor inverter design, power electronics, sensors, analog circuits, communications (Ethernet, CAN, SPI, I2C, GMSL, MIPI-CSI, RS-485), and MCUs - Proficiency in Altium for schematic capture and PCB layout - Strong board bring-up, test, and debug skills: comfortable with a scope, a power supply, and a problem - Experience taking designs from prototype through production: DFM, supply chain considerations, and test coverage - Ability to work independently in ambiguity, extracting requirements and making design decisions without waiting for direction - Understanding of system-level tradeoffs: how your board interacts with firmware, mechanical constraints like cable routing and connectors, and cost Bonus Qualifications - Firmware development (C/C++, RTOS) - High-speed digital design (DDR4, PCIe, MIPI) - Motherboard design with integrated CPU/GPU - Robotics experience - RF design - Simulation tools (LTspice, PSpice) Compensation: $140,000–$250,000, depending on experience, skills, and qualifications Come Join Us Reflex is de-risked enough to see the hazy outlines of success, but still small enough that there’s enormous upside for grabs. This is a rare opportunity to help build a flagship robotics company from the ground up and to do work that will truly matter, reshaping what people believe is possible in robotics. We love to see the things you’ve worked on. Have a portfolio or a project that people tend to say 'wait, you built that?' wh
