Responsibilities
Work with a dedicated team of inventive engineers building a cohesive, next-generation robotics platform representing the future of autonomous manufacturing
Cooperative Robotic Systems: Develop electrical architectures that support coordinated operation across multiple robotic arms, AMRs, tooling, and sensing systems, enabling reliable communication, synchronization, and system-level performance
Electrical Architecture and Hardware Development: Design and implement robust electrical architectures for robotic arms, AMRs, and supporting manufacturing equipment, while developing custom electrical hardware enable reliable and scalable across complex robotic platforms.
Power Distribution and Routing: Lead the design and routing of power across low-voltage and high-current systems, ensuring safe, reliable delivery to motors, sensors, tools, battery systems, and onboard compute systems
AMR Electrical Development: Support the early-stage design and buildout of a custom autonomous mobile robot, helping define and implement the electrical systems required for operation in industrial environments
Battery Systems Integration: Support the design, integration, protection, charging, and monitoring of battery-powered subsystems, particularly for mobile robotic platforms operating in industrial environments
Team
Relativity Space pioneered large-scale additive manufacturing with our Terran 1 rocket, the largest 3D-printed object to fly. Now a distinct business unit within Relativity, Horizon Manufacturing Technologies is advancing next-generation manufacturing for aerospace and beyond. The team operates at the frontier of manufacturing innovation, where creativity meets capability. This is an environment where cutting-edge R&D is put into production, industrializing advanced manufacturing capabilities to solve customer problems. You’ll work alongside welders, robotics engineers, data scientists, and systems engineers at the intersection of hardware and software, creating an end-to-end additive manufacturing platform that serves a wide variety of applications. From exploring new materials to unlocking faster print speeds, to designing complex, organic geometries that can’t be built any other way, it’s high-impact work that sets the foundation for the future of advanced manufacturing.
As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will contribute to the development, integration, and optimization of industrial automation systems for our cooperative multi-robot platform. You will help shape the electrical backbone of a tightly coordinated robotic system in which multiple robotic arms, mobile platforms, and manufacturing subsystems work together as a unified cell to enable flexible, high-throughput production. This role will focus on creating custom electrical hardware, unifying power and data architecture, improving reliability of electrical performance, and simplifying system integration and use.This is a chance to help define the electrical systems behind a highly collaborative robotic platform that pushes the boundaries of autonomy, coordination, and advanced manufacturing.
