EE Compute and Camera

The Bot Company

We're building a helpful robot for every home.

We're a small team of engineers, designers, and operators based in San Francisco. Our team comes from Tesla, Cruise, OpenAI, Google, Pixar, and many other great companies. In the past we've shipped to hundreds of millions of users and know what it takes to build amazing products and experiences.

Our team is deliberately lean to promote rapid decision making and do away with bureaucracy and hierarchy. Everyone is an IC and is empowered with massive scope, radical ownership, and direct responsibility. We work across the stack with a culture built for rapid iteration and fast execution.

What we look for in all candidates

All roles at The Bot Company demand extreme sharpness and the ability to move fast in high-intensity environments. Throughout the process, we expect candidates to demonstrate:

• Exceptional mental acuity: you think quickly, learn instantly, and reason across unfamiliar domains.

• Engineering curiosity: you naturally dig into how systems work, even outside your specialty.

• High performance mindset: you move fast, handle ambiguity, and excel when the environment is demanding.

Electrical Engineer — Compute and Camera Systems

You’ll design the compute and sensor hardware at the core of our robotics platform. This includes Nvidia Jetson-class carrier boards, high-bandwidth multi-camera systems, and the electrical architecture that connects compute, vision, and the rest of the robot.

Qualifications

• Experience designing compute carrier boards (preferably for NVIDIA Jetson) with full power, interface, and system-level considerations.

• Strong understanding of camera interface architectures, including GMSL2 and MIPI CSI, and hands-on experience with multi-camera systems using serdes.

• Experience designing flex and rigid-flex PCBs, especially for compact or articulated assemblies requiring high reliability.

• Familiarity with system-level I/O including PCIE, CAN, USB, I2C, I2S, SPI, Ethernet, and their integration into robotic control/sensing pipelines.

• Ability to manage high-bandwidth camera subsystems, including synchronization, link configuration, frame sync, and data routing.

• Experience validating compute and camera boards through bring-up, electrical testing, and debugging.

• Understanding of mechanical, thermal, and EMI/EMC constraints in tightly integrated compute-sensor modules.

• Track record of taking embedded hardware from concept to production, including vendor collaboration and manufacturing handoff.

What You’ll Do

• Design carrier boards for embedded compute modules and integrate them into the full robotic system.

• Build multi-camera architectures optimized for bandwidth, synchronization, and reliability.

• Develop flex/rigid-flex PCBs for compact or moving assemblies.

• Own bring-up and validation of compute and camera subsystems.

• Collaborate with perception, firmware, and mechanical teams to ensure robust system-level integration.

• Move quickly and independently from prototype through production-ready designs.

Why Join

You’ll work with a small, elite team on challenges that require speed, intelligence, and deep engineering instinct. If you enjoy understanding systems at all levels, move fast, and think even faster, you’ll thrive here.
