System Integration Engineer

About the team and the role:

At Mind Robotics, we're building generalized physical AI — robotic systems capable of dexterous, adaptive, and reasoning-intensive work in real-world industrial environments. Integration is where it all comes together: the moment mechanical, electrical, firmware, controls, and software stop being separate subsystems and have to behave as one robot.

We're looking for a System Integration Engineer to own bring-up and debug across the robot — from first power-on of a new subsystem to the hard interactions that only surface when everything is running together. You'll be on the bench as much as at a keyboard, working at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, firmware, controls, and software to get every build from first prototype to a robot that works reliably in the field.

Responsibilities:

• Lead bring-up of new subsystems and full-robot builds and assist with validation, coordinating across electrical, mechanical, firmware, controls, and software teams

• Debug hardware-software interactions hands-on during design, launch, and field deployment — pulling and analyzing logs and adding debug instrumentation/tracing to firmware and software to isolate root cause

• Lead calibration and tuning efforts to hit subsystem and robot-level performance targets

• Prototype and characterize components and full systems; build early prototypes to de-risk new technologies before committing to production architecture

• Execute system-level test plans from bench testing through field deployment, and turn real-world failures into repeatable test cases

• Write scripts and tooling to improve bring-up, validation, and triage efficiency

• Instrument systems and analyze noisy hardware data; communicate findings clearly across mechanical, electrical, and software teams

• Surface nth-order impacts of electrical, software, or process changes before they become problems

• Feed interface and requirements feedback from the bench back to the Systems Engineering team, and provide integration data and open-issue status for readiness reviews

Requirements:

• Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience

• 2+ years in systems integration, systems engineering, or a cross-disciplinary hardware role involving complex electromechanical or robotic products

• Strong hardware and software fundamentals — able to bridge electrical schematics, embedded communication protocols, and firmware architecture; comfortable with a scope and multimeter during bring-up

• Hands-on experience debugging complex subsystems involving networked microprocessors, embedded Linux, and software-controlled electromechanical devices — comfortable reading and modifying C/C++ firmware/software yourself to add debug logging, instrument code paths, and iterate on a fix, not just reading code to hand off to firmware engineers

• Able to write scripts or tooling to improve bring-up and validation efficiency

• Proficient in data analysis and visualization — able to extract signal from noisy hardware data

• You are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part

Nice to Haves:

• Background in robotics, EV powertrains, drones, or other dense electromechanical systems

• Exposure to manufacturing self-test design or service diagnostics

• Familiarity with functional safety concepts or automotive/robotics validation processes
