Electrical Engineer - Piaggio Fast Forward
[email protected]
Electrical Engineer PFF is looking for an electrical engineer excited for a unique role with an early stage startup shaping the future of urban transportation. You’ll work on multiple projects and be integral in our future product roadmap. You must be very forward thinking and have strong technical experience in robotics, power electronics and systems integration.
About Us PFF was founded in 2015 by the Piaggio Group, the manufacturers of Vespa, Aprilia, and Moto Guzzi, to rethink how to better move people and goods in urban settings. The company’s mission is to help people move better, further, faster, and more enjoyably. We build robots and lightweight transportation solutions that travel behind and beside people on the move. We launched our first product, Gita™, in February 2017. Gita is a cargo carrying robot that can follow a human operator or move autonomously by itself in a mapped environment (think about it like a personal pack mule). Gita can carry up to 40 pounds and move at up to 22 mph, all with a zero turning radius. We’ve been featured in the WSJ, Techcrunch, Wired, CNN, and over 200 other news outlets and Forrester research said we will “change the way people work.” Join our 30-person team in Boston as we reinvent the future of transportation.

Responsibilities • You will be responsible for the electrical system architecture and design of our robotics and mobility platforms. This includes: • Developing power management systems, including: conceptual architecture, electrical schematics, capture circuit design, and PCB layout, and testing. • Planning, executing, and documenting tests to verify and validate performance, expose issues, identify root causes and implement corrective actions • You will work with an experienced electrical/software engineer that has already created the initial functionality of a prototype; you are expected to mature the ideas into robust designs • You will interface with the other PFF functions to ensure all requirements are met and potential problems are identified early and mitigated promptly. • You will interface with the Piaggio engineering, design, manufacturing, and service teams in Italy to take advantage of their 130-year history of expertise with 2-, 3 and 4-wheel vehicles
About You • • • • • • • • •
Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering or related discipline Demonstrated skills and experience in: • PCB layout and design • Electrical architecture and wiring schematics • Power and data management Ability to integrate multiple systems across a platform 3-7 years of relevant experience in the automotive, automation, drone and/or robotics sectors Hands-on skills required to build, integrate, test and troubleshoot hardware Advanced experience with electrical layout software such as KiCAD, EAGLE or Altium Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal Proactive, a team player, and exceptional time and people management skills Strong work ethic and enjoyment of exploring new and uncommon ideas in pursuit of the best solution to a challenge
