About the Team DoorDash Labs is a team within DoorDash building autonomous delivery robots and other autonomy solutions from the ground up for DoorDash's core delivery platform. If you have a passion for applying autonomy and robotics in a service used by millions of people daily, then we want to talk to you! About the Role We are seeking a hands-on Electrical Engineer to review the design, drawings, and schematics of the electrical systems for our 4-wheeled autonomous delivery robot. This role is responsible for delivering robust, production-ready hardware across high-speed digital design, PCBAs, RF integration, harnessing, and board-level packaging. This is a deeply technical position for someone who can move seamlessly between system-level thinking and detailed circuit execution. You're excited about this opportunity because... • Develop electrical systems for a complex mobile robotic platform from concept through production. • Lead high-speed digital design efforts (PCIe, MIPI, Ethernet, DDR, multi-gigabit SERDES, etc.). • Own PCBA development including schematic capture, stack-up definition, layout guidance, impedance control, and design-for-manufacture. • Drive RF integration (Wi-Fi, LTE/5G, GNSS, Bluetooth, RADAR, and LiDAR), antenna placement, layout constraints, and signal integrity. • Develop and review cable harness designs, connector selection, grounding strategy, and environmental robustness. • Collaborate closely with mechanical engineering on board packaging, thermal management, vibration resistance, and environmental sealing. • Define and implement power distribution architecture, battery interfaces, protection circuits, and system monitoring. • Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC and regulatory requirements (FCC/CE) (CISPR-25 and FCC Part 15 Class A). • Support prototype builds and bring-up, debug hardware/firmware interface issues, root-cause failures, and drive corrective actions quickly. • Establish design standards and perform detailed design reviews across the EE team. • Work cross-functionally with firmware, robotics, systems, manufacturing, and reliability teams. We're excited about you because... Required Qualifications • B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience). • 3-7+ years of experience designing complex embedded hardware systems. • Strong expertise in: • High-speed digital circuit design and layout • Multi-layer PCB design and stack-up planning • Signal integrity and power integrity fundamentals • RF integration and antenna considerations • Cable harness and interconnect design EMI/EMC mitigation • Experience designing EMC/EMI input and output filters • Experience taking hardware products from concept to production. • Experience with mobile or ruggedized systems operating in real-world environments. • Strong debugging and lab bring-up experience. • (VNA and Spectrum Analyzer experience is a plus) Preferred Qualifications • Experience in robotics, automotive, aerospace, or industrial automation. • Familiarity with safety-critical or high-reliability systems. • Experience with high-voltage battery systems. • Experience with environmental, vibration, and regulatory testing. • Background working with contract manufacturers and NPI processes. Key Attributes • Hands-on engineer who enjoys building and shipping real hardware. • Strong systems intuition with attention to detail. • Comfortable working in fast-moving, cross-functional teams. • Pragmatic decision-maker balancing performance, cost, and reliability. • Strong communicator and technical mentor.
