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