Electrical Engineer - Dot

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. ).

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.

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...
