SERVE ROBOTICS
At Serve Robotics, we’re reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses. Why move two-pound burritos with two-ton cars?
The Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.
WHO ARE WE?
We are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end-to-end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.

As a hardware engineer on the EE team, you are responsible for designing, validating and troubleshooting all aspects of the electrical design, from the components, PCB and system levels. You will own design tasks involving schematic, layout, component and circuit selection. You will work cross functionally with and support other teams and stakeholders to ensure that the electrical design meets the company's objectives.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Design and validation of circuit boards and interconnect
Bringup of new designs in tandem with the firmware team
Troubleshooting and root cause analysis
Provide support to our operations team in Los Angeles
Providing occasional onsite support at factory builds
Contribute to scalability plans
