About Us
The American pharmacy system currently struggles to meet patient needs. Long wait times, overworked staff, and outdated infrastructure have compromised reliable access to essential medications. We are addressing these challenges today. We are a stealth-mode physical AI company working on a robotic pharmacy product. We are not just conceptualizing the pharmacy of the future; we are building it now.
About the role
Lead the electrical engineering design, development, and validation of power, control, motion, and sensing subsystems in our devices
Define the electrical architecture and establish component selection standards that balance reliability, cost, and regulatory compliance for a pharmaceutical environment
Drive schematic and PCB layout reviews, ensuring designs meet safety, EMC, and relevant medical quality standards before release to manufacturing
Partner with the firmware, software, and mechanical engineering leads to align on interface specifications, data handling, signal routing, wire harness definition, and integration timelines across disciplines
Spearhead the testing strategy to ensure all validation and verification activities provide sufficient coverage of the product features and expected failure recovery modes Required
Qualifications
10+ years of experience in electrical engineering, with at least 3 years leading a team of electrical engineers
Track record of shipping complex electromechanical products from concept through mass production, with ownership of major electrical subsystems
Deep expertise in analog and digital circuit design, power electronics, and PCB layout, with the ability to set technical direction for the team
Experience balancing speed of development with establishing engineering processes such as design reviews, test specifications, and DFM checkpoints
Ability to recruit, develop, and mentor electrical engineers while maintaining hands-on involvement in critical design work
Previous successful partnerships with mechanical, software, and product teams via excellent cross-functional communication skills
Strong understanding of regulatory and compliance considerations relevant to safety-critical or medical-adjacent products (e.g., UL, EMC, IEC standards)
