Circuit Design Engineer for Delivery Robot Development

An autonomous delivery robot is a compact six-wheeled vehicle that navigates sidewalks on its own, using lidars, cameras, and sensors to deliver orders to last-mile customers in urban environments. It operates in any weather, avoids obstacles, interacts with pedestrians, and is integrated into the Yandex ecosystem of services (including Yandex Food, Yandex Lavka, and others).

We develop reliable electronic units for serial production delivery robots: from circuit design and component selection to preparing devices for industrial manufacturing. We are looking for a Circuit Design Engineer who will take on the development of key on-board electronic systems. Apply if you are ready to work on designing the next-generation robot and modernize existing solutions.

What tasks await you

Development of the robot's electronic systems You will develop power blocks (DC/DC, protection, redundancy), motor control systems (BLDC/brushed, drivers, position sensors), communication interfaces (CAN, UART, Ethernet, USB, RS-485, and others), connect sensors (lidars, IMU, encoders, cameras, current, voltage, temperature sensors), as well as work on auxiliary logic (power control, monitoring, safety circuits).

Conducting tests You will participate in preparing plans and procedures for launching and testing the designed device. It will also be necessary to perform device commissioning, prepare it for validation testing, and make improvements based on issues identified during testing.

Preparation for serial production You will prepare and approve design documentation for serial production, as well as develop test stands and production testing procedures.

We expect that you

• Have designed and debugged analog and digital electrical circuits
• Have routed printed circuit boards of varying complexity (with more than four layers) in modern electronic design automation systems
• Have worked with contract manufacturing
• Have excellent knowledge of modern component base
• Are a proficient user of Altium Designer
• Understand the structure and principles of communication interfaces such as CAN, RS232/RS485, SPI, I2C, USB, Ethernet, PCIe, and others
• Have experience routing high-speed interfaces (LVDS, PCIe, RGMI, and others)
• Know popular standards and regulations in the field of electronic device development
• Are responsible, organized, and able to work in a team
• Can confidently read documentation in English

Will be a plus

• Have developed automotive electronics
• Have designed and supported serial production devices
• Speak English
