Compute Electrical Engineer, Robotics

Job description preview

From OpenAI’s original posting

ABOUT THE TEAM Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and advancing toward AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world environments. Working across the full model and systems stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the physical constraints of real-world systems to improve people’s lives. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for an Electrical Engineer to develop the AI inference compute systems that power OpenAI’s humanoid robots. This role combines compute architecture, high-speed digital design, onboard power electronics, and compact HDI PCB development. We’re looking for a self-driven engineer who takes ownership from concept through deployment. Above all, you should enjoy hands-on engineering: bringing up boards, characterizing interfaces, and tracking challenging failures to their root cause. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Own compute hardware architecture and development, from component selection and schematic design through PCB layout, validation, and deployment. - Design and integrate high-speed interfaces—including PCIe, DDR,…
