Senior Electrical Engineer- Power Management

Job description

At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality. THE ROLE We're building hardware that pushes the limits of what's possible — and power is at the heart of it. We're looking for a power management wizard to own the design of the systems that keep everything running: from the tiniest LDO to the battery pack powering the whole thing. You won't be a cog in a giant org. You'll own real problems end-to-end, ship fast, and have your fingerprints all over the product. If you love getting your hands dirty in the lab, debating topologies on a whiteboard, and bringing up brand-new boards at 11pm because you can't wait to see it work — let's talk. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Architect power solutions from scratch — LDOs, buck/boost converters, PMICs, the whole stack. - Tame multi-rail systems with bulletproof power sequencing. - Wire it all together over I2C, SPI, and CAN. - Design Battery Management Systems and chargers that are safe, efficient, and don't quit. Get deep into battery characterization — chemistry, charge curves, aging, the works. - Take designs from schematic → simulation → bring-up → debug → ship. - Work shoulder-to-shoulder with firmware, systems, and mechanical folks. No silos here. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Deep intuition for LDOs, buck/boost topologies, and PMICs — you've designed them, debugged them, and have opinions about them. - You've done real power sequencing on real boards with lots of rails and lived to tell the tale. - Fluent in I2C, SPI, and CAN. - Solid BMS and battery charger experience — bonus if you can sketch a Li-ion charge profile from memory. - You actually enjoy the lab. Scopes, e-loads, source meters — these are your friends. - BS/MS in EE or equivalent hands-on experience that proves the point + 4 years of work experience BONUS POINTS - You've driven a BLDC motor and know why field-oriented control matters. - EtherCAT doesn't scare you. - You've worked with encoders and torque sensors and know how to make them play nice with power electronics. WHY JOIN - Real ownership. Real impact. Real shipping. - Small team, big problems, no bureaucracy. - The kind of hardware challenges that don't exist at bigger companies.
