Robotics - Electronics Engineer

Join Way of Water, a funded field-robotics project at ETH Zurich (Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control, Research D'Andrea). This is a project employee (staff) role: you come in to deliver engineering work for the life of the project. We build autonomous surface robots whose electronics have to live with batteries, water, EMI and long days outdoors, then still be serviceable. This role is for someone with an electronics and embedded bent who wants ownership, not a closed schematic brief. You will shape the electrical and device layer: boards, power, interfaces, bring-up and the habits that make a fleet electrically trustworthy. The brief will widen as payloads, sensors and production volumes change. Specialization helps you start strong. Curiosity across the stack is how you grow into more. Compensation is competitive for a funded project role and depends on experience. 100%, IDSC - Research D'Andrea, Fixed-term project staff (~18 months) …
