Founding role for electrical engineering focusing on power systems, controls, communications, and sensing for robotic platforms in autonomous vehicle support.

О компании

builds robotic pitstops for self-driving cars. A depot in a box for charging, cleaning and inspecting autonomous fleets directly in operating zones.
Autonomous driving is working. The operational layer around it is not. Today, fleets lose significant time and money traveling to centralized depots for charging, cleaning and servicing, creating dead miles, lower uptime and operational bottlenecks that limit fleet scale.
Aseon Pods are modular, rapidly deployable robotic stations that keep autonomous fleets operating near demand. By bringing operations directly into demand zones, Aseon helps fleet operators increase uptime, reduce operational overhead and scale markets more efficiently without relying on large centralized depots.
George and Dan are second-time founders and mobility infrastructure operators. Previously, they built and scaled Pushme to 5,000 stations across 40 cities and were acquired by TIER-Dott ($600M raised). is backed by Y Combinator and headquartered in Redwood City.

Aseon is looking for a Founding Electrical Engineer to define and own the electrical architecture of the Aseon platform. As the first dedicated electrical hire, you will make the key decisions around power systems, controls, communications, sensing and integration that will shape every generation of the product. The role is scoped for someone with 5+ years of experience in Electrical Engineering. Exceptional candidates with 3+ years who can demonstrate the right track record may be considered.
Own the full electrical architecture of the Aseon Pod: power electronics, charging integration, power distribution, network communication, motor control, embedded control boards and sensor systems.
Design the pod interface with DC fast-charging networks, including protocol handling for OCPP and ISO 15118
Develop wiring harnesses and electrical interconnects for robotic actuation, inspection sensors and vehicle-contact subsystems
Lead electrical systems through prototyping, EVT, DVT, safety validation and NPI, personally involved at each stage
Drive EMI/EMC compliance and certification for outdoor commercial deployment (UL, CE, relevant IEC standards)
Work closely with mechanical and robotics engineers on electromechanical integration across the full pod
Work with suppliers and contract manufacturers on component selection, sourcing and production

Требования

3+ years of electrical engineering experience with a demonstrable track record of taking hardware from schematic to shipped product
Comfort working across electrical, mechanical and software boundaries and resolving cross-disciplinary tradeoffs
Strong understanding of industrial control systems, sensors, actuators, power distribution and communication interfaces used in electromechanical systems
Industrial communication protocols e.g. EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, EtherCAT etc.
Ability to work in a high-agency environment: making sound decisions quickly with limited resources and without a large support structure
Strong communication skills: able to translate complex electrical concepts clearly across mechanical, software and non-technical audiences
BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics or a related field
