About the Team
Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in real environments. We design and manufacture our hardware in-house, which means iteration, fabrication, and execution all happen under one roof.
To operate reliably in the real world, our robots need strong electrical systems for power delivery, conversion, and subsystem integration. Our hardware team works across motors, mobile systems, batteries, and supporting power electronics — work that sits at the core of making the robot dependable and scalable.
About the Role
As an Electrical Engineer at Droyd, you will focus on system-level electrical design across motors, power, and platform integration. You will help build the electrical backbone of the robot, including power conversion and the systems that support motion and mobile operation.
This role is ideal for someone comfortable working across practical electrical architecture, hardware integration, and power-related engineering challenges.
This role is based on-site in San Francisco, CA.
In This Role, You'll
Power & Motor Systems
Design and integrate electrical systems for motors, mobile platforms, and robot subsystems
Work on power delivery, power conversion, and battery-adjacent systems
Support electrical architecture for 24–48V systems and related hardware
Prototyping & Reliability
Prototype, test, debug, and iterate on electrical subsystems quickly
Help improve robustness and reliability of the robot's electrical platform
Integration
Collaborate closely with mechanical and robotics teams on system integration
Make sound engineering decisions around electrical architecture and reliability
Work Environment & Schedule
On-site in San Francisco, CA
Full-time
Compensation: $150K–$210K base salary, plus equity
We're Looking For Candidates Who
Have strong experience with system-level electrical engineering
Have worked on motors, power systems, or mobile electrical platforms
Are comfortable with practical integration and debugging on real hardware
Can make sound engineering decisions around electrical architecture and reliability
Thrive in a fast-moving hardware startup environment
Nice to have:
Experience with robotics or mechatronic systems
Experience with power electronics or converters
Experience with batteries, motor systems, or mobile robots
About Droyd
Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that operate in real production environments. We design the hardware, develop the control stack, and generate the data that enables generalist robotics.
If we do this right, robots stop being demos and start being infrastructure.
Join us and help build the systems that make it real.
