EngineeringElectrical Engineer

Apptronik is a human-centered robotics company developing AI-powered robots to support humanity in every facet of life. Our flagship humanoid robot, Apollo, is built to collaborate thoughtfully with people, starting with critical industries such as manufacturing and logistics, with future applications in healthcare, the home, and beyond.

We operate at the cutting edge of embodied AI, applying our expertise across the full robotics stack to solve some of society's most important problems. You will join a team dedicated to bringing Apollo to market at scale, tackling the complex challenges like safety, commercialization, and mass production to change the world for the better.

We're looking for experienced senior and junior electrical engineers to drive our electronics developments for the end effectors of the Apollo humanoid robot. We are primarily interested in candidates who have developed electronics for robotic end effectors, prosthetics, and wearables. In this job role, you will own electronic systems from ideation through design, testing, and into mass production.
