Job Description:
At BOPA, we’re building the future of autonomy for small and mid-sized farms. Our compact, intelligent robots (ANTs) perform precision agricultural tasks like weeding, planting, and nutrient management - helping farmers cut labor costs, reduce chemical use, and increase sustainability.
We are a Seed-stage startup with a nimble, farmer-focused team. Our goal is to design robust, scalable robotics systems that can be deployed across the globe.
We’re looking for a senior, hands-on electrical / mechanical engineer to lead the design, integration, and evolution of the hardware systems that make up our next generation of autonomous nano-tractors (ANTs).
This role owns critical parts of the physical platform end-to-end - from electrical architecture, power distribution, wiring, sensors, motors, and actuators through mechanical assemblies, structural components, implements, and system integration.
You’ll operate as a technical leader across electrical and mechanical engineering - driving design decisions that impact reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, cost, and production readiness. You’ll lead complex hardware efforts, mentor other engineers, and help set the standard for how we design, build, test, and ship robust field robotics systems.
Own electrical architecture across power distribution, compute, sensors, actuators, and subsystems
Design wiring, harnessing, connectors, grounding, and protection for robust field operation
Size and integrate electrical components based on voltage, current, thermal, environmental, and requirements
Debug complex electrical and electromechanical failures across production and prototype systems
Design, review, and support development of custom PCBs for power, sensing, control, and system interface needs
Own mechanical design of chassis components, assemblies, mounts, implements, and supporting systems against strength, weight, clearance, serviceability, environmental exposure, and real-world agricultural operation requirements
Develop and review CAD models, drawings, tolerances, and manufacturing documentation
Prototype and iterate mechanical designs based on lab and field testing
Lead structured root cause analysis of mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical failures
Develop test plans for structural loading, vibration, thermal performance, power consumption, ingress protection, durability, and component lifecycle
Define acceptance criteria and validation requirements for new components and design changes
Drive hardware architecture decisions across electrical and mechanical subsystems
Define interfaces between mechanical, electrical, compute, and robotics systems
Design systems for manufacturability, assembly, maintenance, and field serviceability
Partner with manufacturing and suppliers on component sourcing, production processes, quality, and scaling
Mentor and guide engineers on system design, debugging, testing, and engineering best practices
Drive technical reviews and make pragmatic engineering trade-offs around cost, reliability, performance, and schedule
Set the standard for hardware engineering quality, docs, reliability, and execution across the platform
Lead successful design and validation of electrical/mechanical systems for the next gen ANT platform
Improve platform reliability through resolution of hardware and electromechanical failure modes
Improve serviceability, durability, manufacturability, and field performance across ANT deployments
Reduce hardware complexity and improve component standardization where appropriate
Capture lessons from 2026 deployments and steer hardware improvements for future iterations
Support successful transition of new designs from prototype into repeatable production
7+ years of experience in electrical, mechanical, mechatronics, robotics, automotive, industrial automation, or related systems
Strong fundamentals across electrical and mechanical engineering
Proven ownership of electromechanical systems from prototype through production deployment
Experience designing and integrating motors, actuators, sensors, power, and mechanical assemblies
Strong track record of diagnosing and resolving hardware and system-level failures
Experience with CAD and production mechanical design
Understanding of manufacturing methods, tolerancing, materials, fabrication, and assembly
Experience working with field robotics, vehicles, industrial equipment, or other ruggedized systems
Background in autonomous vehicles, mobile robotics, agricultural machinery, or ruggedized systems
Familiarity with CAN, embedded controls, and ROS2-based robotics systems
Hands-on knowledge of wiring harnesses, rugged electrical design, and environmental sealing
Working knowledge of structural analysis, FEA, vibration, fatigue, or thermal design
Exposure to production manufacturing processes and working with contract manufacturers or suppliers
At BOPA, we value practical impact, humility, and speed of iteration. We test everything in the field, learn fast, and build with farmers. We believe diverse perspectives lead to better designs, and we’re committed to fostering inclusion and collaboration.
Mission-Driven Work: Build robots that transform farming and rural economies
High Ownership: Own all hardware decisions and roadmap
Fast Iteration: Design, build, and see your systems operating in real-world fields within weeks
Equity & Growth: Share in the company’s success at scale
