ABOUT AIM About Us AIM builds autonomy for the real world - robots that move mountains. Our systems fuse software, electronics, mechanics, perception, and mission-critical infrastructure into ruggedized, safety-critical machinery operating on jobsites across the world. We replace manual, error-prone, high-risk tasks with intelligent machines that reshape how earthmoving is done. Electrical engineering is at the heart of these systems. Our autonomy hardware spans compute and sensor platforms, power distribution, fault detection, safety architectures, and wiring systems that must perform flawlessly in harsh, unpredictable, high-entropy environments. We build electronics that survive dust, mud, vibration, shock loads, corrosion, temperature swings, and real-world operator behavior. We're growing fast, scaling globally, and building the technology foundation that will define the next century of construction. About You You're a builder who thrives at the intersection of electronics, software, and the physical world. You design simple, reliable, testable, and fault-tolerant electrical systems that operate correctly under real-world conditions - not just in simulation or the lab. You have strong fundamentals in PCB design, power systems, wire harnessing, sensors, and electrical-mechanical integration, and you bring high judgment to ambiguous decisions. You're equally comfortable architecting electrical subsystems, bringing up new boards, debugging failures with scopes and analyzers, validating hardware in the field, or collaborating with autonomy, software, mechanical, and field engineering counterparts. You take ownership of outcomes - not just schematics - connecting your designs directly to safety, reliability, and customer impact. You want to work on problems where precision, robustness, and safety matter - and where your systems directly enable autonomous heavy machinery operating across the world. About Us Together We're going to change how the world builds. Along the way, we'll take on electrical engineering challenges such as: - Sensor, compute, and MCU integration that survives vibration, shock, and temperature extremes - Power distribution and protection in unpredictable load and environmental conditions - Functional safety and fault-tolerant architectures for safety-critical autonomy systems - High-reliability wiring harness design for harsh environments, with field service processes designed in - EMI/EMC performance in electrically noisy heavy-equipment environments - Integration across mechanical constraints, software interfaces, autonomy pipelines, and OEM platforms - Designing electronics that work not only in clean labs - but in the elements We'll iterate quickly, debug deeply, confront the truth when things don't work, and build mechanisms that scale with quality and reliability. If that excites you, you're the kind of Senior Electrical Engineer who will thrive here. RESPONSIBILITIES What You Will Own As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will architect and deliver the electrical systems that enable AIM's autonomous machines to operate safely and reliably in the field. Architect & Build Electrical Systems for Autonomy - Architect end-to-end electrical subsystems, including compute/MCU platforms, sensor interfaces, power architectures, safety/fault-detection circuitry, and communication buses. - Translate product and customer requirements into hardware architectures and detailed electrical designs. - Define electrical integration approaches across autonomy, mechanical, and OEM platforms. Design, Implement & Validate Electronics - Own the full lifecycle of PCBA designs (schematic → simulation → layout → bring-up → validation) using Altium. - Perform circuit-level simulations (SPICE), signal-integrity analysis, power budgeting, and thermal considerations. - Validate designs through analog/digital testing, hardware debugging, and failure analysis using oscilloscopes, DMMs, and signal analyzers. - Design wiring harnesses a
