Electrical Engineer (Hiring at all Levels) at Reflex Robotics

Company Overview

Reflex Robotics builds general-purpose, AI-powered humanoid robots for the toughest jobs in industry.

We’re focused on jobs that are genuinely hard on the human body: lifting 40-pound bags of dog food, loading boxes for an entire shift, and moving heavy materials from floor to high overhead shelves. Not just lightweight tasks in controlled environments. Actual, back-breaking work.

Factory and warehouse work demands more. The hardware needs strength, reach, precision, speed, and the battery life to be useful across multiple shifts. It also needs to deliver a clear return today, not in some hypothetical future. Our robot costs $32K at development volumes today.

We build the full robot stack ourselves, from cameras and compute to actuators, electronics, and software. Our custom-built supervision stack helps handle the hard parts of deployment, from real floor variability to keeping work moving without line disruption. That supervision also generates proprietary real-world data that helps improve autonomy over time.

We are a four year old startup backed by Khosla Ventures and a team of other great investors. Our team includes alumni from Anduril, Oculus, Amazon, Waymo, Skydio, Boston Dynamics, ASML, MIT, Jane Street, and Joby Aviation.

Key Company Beliefs

• We are obsessed with shipping robots.

• A humanoid robot is only valuable if it solves a real customer problem. Cool demos are fun, but reliable work is what matters.

• Low cost is what makes widespread deployment possible.

• High-quality, proprietary robotics data is the foundation of the next generation of physical AI.

• Getting nerd-sniped by an engineering metric is way less important than solving our customers’ biggest pain points.

What We’re Looking For

We develop custom servo actuators, computer, networking, cameras, and other sensors for our robots. These systems must be performant, reliable, cost-effective, and integrated with mechanical and software requirements.

We are looking for versatile electrical engineers to design, debug, test, and deploy these systems. This is a small team with high ownership, high equity, and the chance to shape the product from the ground up.

We love to see engineers who have built something they are proud of, whether it's a side project, an open-source contribution, or a product feature that shipped to real users.

Required Qualifications

• Understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals

• Strong PCB design experience (project portfolios encouraged!)

• Strong board bring-up, test, and debug skills: comfortable with a scope, a power supply, and a problem

• Understanding of system-level tradeoffs: how your board interacts with firmware, mechanical constraints like cable routing and connectors, and cost

• Ability to work independently and make good design decisions based on project requirements

• Good communication skills

• BS or higher in Electrical Engineering or related field

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience with motor control and power electronics designs

• Robotics experience

• High-speed design (Ethernet, PCIe, MIPI)

• RF design

• Proficiency in Altium for schematic cpature and PCB layout

• Experience taking designs from prototype through production: DFM, supply chain considerations, and test coverage

• Cross-disciplinary experience: firmware (C, RTOS), mechanical design
  

Compensation: $140,000–$250,000, depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.

Come Join Us

Reflex is de-risked enough to see the hazy outlines of success, but still small enough that there’s enormous upside for grabs. This is a rare opportunity to help build a flagship robotics company from the ground up and to do work that will truly matter, reshaping what people believe is possible in robotics.

We love to see the things you’ve worked on. Have a portfolio or a project that people tend to say 'wait, you built that?' when you describe what you worked on? Share it. We’re looking for people who push past the status quo, are passionate at work and in their own time, we’re looking for people who want to win.
