Waabi builds generative AI for the physical world, starting with autonomous trucks. Turning that intelligence into road-ready hardware takes someone who can take a board from a design file to a validated, assembled unit — and who reaches for the soldering iron, the scope, and the terminal when something doesn't behave the way the schematic says it should.
As a Bring-Up & Manufacturing Electrical Engineer, you'll be the person who makes our custom electronics real. You'll bring up new boards, debug them down to the root cause, partner with our contract manufacturers to get them built at quality, and stand up the test fixtures and V&V that prove they're ready for the vehicle. You'll report to the Electrical Engineering Team Lead and work closely with our design, quality, and technician teams.
Board bring-up & debug. Take new boards from first power-on through validation. When a design misbehaves, you're the one at the bench with the scope and the terminal, isolating the root cause and driving the fix.
Test fixture design & module V&V. Partner with our design and V&V teams to build module end-of-line test fixtures, then use them to evaluate designs under nominal and stressed environmental and electrical conditions.
CM coordination. Work directly with our contract manufacturers to get PCBs and assemblies built. Shepherd builds through fabrication, track schedules, and flag issues before they become bottlenecks.
Inspection & assembly. With our quality team, develop the controls and checks that catch defects at each stage of manufacture. Inspect incoming boards for quality and workmanship, perform rework and hand-assembly as needed, and integrate validated boards into their final enclosures — meeting OEM-partner and internal quality standards.
End-of-line debug. Support vehicle end-of-line testing, diagnosing and resolving issues at both the board and vehicle level.
Inventory awareness. Keep track of components, boards, and assemblies so the team always knows what's on hand, in transit, and due to be reordered.
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
4+ years in hardware development, test engineering, or board bring-up.
Fluency with bench instrumentation — oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and multimeter — and the ability to read a schematic and reason from it to a root cause.
Hands-on rework and soldering skills (IPC-A-610 or equivalent), including fine-pitch and BGA-adjacent work.
Comfort with JTAG/boundary scan and firmware flashing, and enough scripting (typically Python) to automate test fixtures and bring-up procedures.
A maker's instinct: happy to get your hands dirty in the lab and disciplined about documenting what you find.
Experience partnering with a contract manufacturer through a build or NPI cycle.
Familiarity with automotive or other high-reliability quality standards.
A track record of improving designs, processes, and the way the team works — you spot the rough edges and smooth them.
