Job description

About Us

AIM builds autonomy for the real world—robots that move mountains. Our systems combine software, electronics, mechanics, perception, and mission-critical infrastructure into ruggedized machines operating on jobsites around the world. We replace manual, repetitive, and high-risk work with intelligent machines that transform how earthmoving gets done.

Electrical engineering is a critical part of these systems. Our autonomy hardware includes compute platforms, sensors, power systems, safety mechanisms, and wiring architectures that must perform reliably in harsh environments. We build electronics that operate through dust, mud, vibration, temperature swings, and the realities of field deployment.

We're growing quickly, scaling globally, and building the technology foundation that will shape the future of construction and autonomy. Learn more about AIM here.

About You

You're an engineer who enjoys building and troubleshooting real-world systems. You have strong fundamentals in electronics and enjoy seeing your designs move from concept to hardware operating in the field.

You have experience with PCB design, electrical testing, sensors, embedded systems, or system integration. You're comfortable working with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and other lab equipment to debug issues and validate designs.

You enjoy collaborating across disciplines and are excited to work alongside software, autonomy, mechanical, and field engineers to solve challenging problems. You take ownership of your work, seek feedback, and continuously look for ways to improve your designs.

You want to build technology where reliability matters and where your work directly impacts autonomous machines operating in real-world environments.

About Us Together

At AIM, you'll help solve electrical engineering challenges such as:

  • Integrating sensors, compute platforms, and embedded systems for autonomous machines

  • Designing and validating power distribution and protection systems

  • Developing reliable wiring and connector solutions for harsh environments

  • Supporting safety-critical systems that operate around people and heavy equipment

  • Debugging hardware issues that occur in both lab and field environments

  • Collaborating across software, autonomy, mechanical, and deployment teams

We'll move quickly, learn from failures, and continuously improve our systems based on real-world performance.

Responsibilities

  • Debug electrical and system-level issues in both laboratory and field environments

  • Execute validation plans and document test results

  • Assist with root-cause investigations and corrective actions

Support System Integration

  • Work with software and autonomy engineers to integrate hardware and communication interfaces

  • Assist with CAN, UART, Ethernet, SPI, I²C, and other communication systems

  • Support sensor integration and troubleshooting efforts

  • Collaborate with field teams to understand and resolve real-world issues

Improve Product Reliability

  • Participate in design reviews and technical discussions

  • Help identify potential failure modes and reliability risks

  • Support environmental and reliability testing efforts

  • Contribute to documentation, test procedures, and engineering best practices

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of professional electrical engineering experience

  • Experience with schematic design and PCB development

  • Familiarity with analog and digital circuit fundamentals

  • Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, DMMs, logic analyzers, and laboratory debugging

  • Familiarity with communication protocols such as CAN, UART, SPI, I²C, or Ethernet

  • Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills

  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative engineering environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Altium or similar PCB design tools

  • Experience with embedded systems or MCU-based designs

  • Familiarity with sensors, robotics, automation, or industrial systems

  • Experience with wiring harnesses, connectors, or ruggedized electronics

  • Exposure to environmental, reliability, or compliance testing

  • Basic firmware development experience in C/C++ is a plus

  • Interest in robotics, autonomy, heavy equipment, or industrial technology

How You'll Stand Out

  • You enjoy hands-on engineering and solving difficult technical problems

  • You write clear documentation and communicate effectively across teams

  • You take ownership of your work and follow through on commitments

  • You approach debugging methodically and learn quickly from failures

  • You care about reliability, quality, and real-world performance

  • You're excited to work at the intersection of hardware, software, and robotics

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to build hardware that powers real-world autonomous machines

  • High-impact work deployed on customer sites around the world

  • Mentorship from experienced engineers across electrical, software, autonomy, and robotics disciplines

  • Competitive compensation, equity, medical/dental/vision, 401(k), and life insurance

  • Opportunities to travel to customer jobsites and see your work operating in the field

Why AIM?

Joining AIM, You Will

  • Help solve large-scale real-world challenges through autonomy and robotics

  • Work on technology deployed in production environments

  • Gain experience across hardware, software, autonomy, and field operations

  • Learn from a highly experienced multidisciplinary engineering team
