Save Job

We're excited to be partnering with Molg , a cutting-edge robotics company building modular microfactories that radically rethink how physical products are assembled. Their systems bring software-like flexibility and intelligence to manufacturing-enabling automation that's fast, adaptable, and scalable.
About the Role
Molg is seeking a hands-on Electrical Engineer to design, prototype, and deploy the electronics at the heart of their robotic automation systems. In this role, you'll work across the stack-from PCB layout and embedded firmware to real-time hardware integration-and collaborate closely with software, robotics, and mechanical teams to deliver systems that are precise, reliable, and production-ready.
You'll play a key part in making the Molg platform modular and extensible by designing custom hardware modules that scale from prototype to production.
What You'll Be Doing

  • Designing modular, expandable PCBs for robotic tooling, sensors, and actuators
  • Developing and debugging circuit-level systems-from schematics to board bring-up
  • Writing firmware and embedded software for time- and memory-constrained automation workflows
  • Prototyping and iterating early hardware in-house (soldering, troubleshooting, testing)
  • Collaborating across engineering teams to ensure system-level coordination
  • Sourcing key components and helping standardize internal hardware development practices
  • Contributing to reusable electronics architecture to accelerate future development
What We're Looking For
  • 1-3 years of professional (non-internship) experience as an Electrical Engineer
  • Strong background in custom PCB and circuit design using electrical CAD tools
  • Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up, soldering, testing, and debugging
  • Proficiency with C and RTOS for embedded development
  • Ability to design across electrical, firmware, and system-level constraints
  • Bonus: experience with Python and/or Zephyr RTOS
  • Must be available to work onsite full-time in Sterling, VA

Why Join
At Molg, you'll help build intelligent factories from the ground up. This is an opportunity to work on real-world systems at the intersection of hardware and automation-where every design decision directly shapes how products are made.
