AI in this role

ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries. Join our highly talented and motivated team of more than 200 people and work on cutting-edge robot technology.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced and driven Senior Electronics Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team. In this role, you will take end-to-end technical ownership of our high-complexity Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs), directly impacting the reliability and capability of our autonomous mobile robots (ANYmal). You will bridge the gap between advanced concept designs and ruggedized, industrial-grade production, helping us scale our electronics architecture for harsh and hazardous environments.

The Market & Our Technology

ANYbotics is revolutionizing industrial inspection with ANYmal, our quadrupedal robot designed to navigate the world’s most challenging environments—from offshore oil platforms to complex chemical plants. Our technology integrates advanced robotics software with robust hardware that must withstand extreme conditions, strict EMI/EMC standards, and rigorous safety certifications. By developing highly sophisticated, reliable, and optimized electronics, you enable our robots to operate autonomously where humans cannot.

Your Impact

Take full technical ownership and product care of 1-2 key high-complexity PCBAs (e.g., our complex communication switches or Battery Management Systems)
Drive the PCBA development process from initial architecture and schematics through layout, prototyping, debugging, and production handover
Strategically review and simplify our current PCBA portfolio across ANYmal product lines to optimize system architecture
Establish rigorous test specifications and verification protocols to ensure flawless execution during productization
Collaborate closely with systems engineers and cross-functional teams to integrate electronics seamlessly into the robot
Champion high-quality engineering standards within the EE team, bringing strong industrial experience to the table

Your Profile

Degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field with at least 7 years of hands-on experience developing electronics boards for industrial, aerospace, or military applications
Expert-level proficiency in industry-standard ECAD software (e.g., KiCad, Altium) and simulation tools like SPICE
Proven track record of layouting your own complex designs with strict creepage, clearance, and isolation constraints for safety-critical applications
Extensive experience designing for harsh environments, including a strong background in meeting EMI/EMC compliance and functional safety standards
Deep expertise in debugging, verification, and defining testing specifications for manufacturing production
Strong proficiency in at least two of the following areas: Battery Management Systems (BMS), power electronics/motor drives, high-speed interfaces (USB, EtherCAT, WiFi), or MCU-based embedded systems
Highly accountable mindset with the ability to make firm technical decisions and own the outcomes in a dynamic environment

Bonus Points

Experience with Explosion-proof (Ex-protection) electronics design or hazardous-area applications
Background in wireless electronics design or Edge AI Compute Hardware
Direct experience working within the robotics or autonomous systems industry
Familiarity with InvenTree or similar modern tools for component and inventory management

We offer you a very exciting and dynamic work environment, the opportunity to become part of a fast-growing company and an ambitious team that is on a mission to change the industrial inspection market, a chance to leverage your experience and bring in your own ideas, a fair market salary, an attractive employee stock ownership plan, and a job in the city of Zurich.
