<p>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!</p>
<p>We are seeking an experienced and hands-on <strong>Senior Electrical Engineer</strong> to lead the design and development 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.</p>
<p>This is a deeply technical position for someone who can move seamlessly between system-level thinking and detailed circuit execution.</p>
<h2><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Design and develop electrical systems for a complex mobile robotic platform from concept through production.</li>
<li>Lead high-speed digital design efforts (PCIe, MIPI, Ethernet, DDR, multi-gigabit SERDES, etc.).</li>
<li>Own PCBA development including schematic capture, stack-up definition, layout guidance, impedance control, and design-for-manufacture.</li>
<li>Drive RF integration (Wi-Fi, LTE/5G, GNSS, Bluetooth, RADAR, and LiDAR), antenna placement, layout constraints, and signal integrity.</li>
<li>Develop and review cable harness designs, connector selection, grounding strategy, and environmental robustness.</li>
<li>Collaborate closely with mechanical engineering on board packaging, thermal management, vibration resistance, and environmental sealing.</li>
<li>Define and implement power distribution architecture, battery interfaces, protection circuits, and system monitoring.</li>
<li>Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC and regulatory requirements (FCC/CE) (CISPR-25 and FCC Part 15 Class A).</li>
<li>Support prototype builds and bring-up, debug hardware/firmware interface issues, root-cause failures, and drive corrective actions quickly.</li>
<li>Establish design standards and perform detailed design reviews across the EE team.</li>
