Job Description

Who We Are

Swish Robotics is bringing embodied intelligence into the home, starting with Bento, an AI-powered cooking robot that prepares fresh meals in under 20 minutes. Backed by top investors like Accel Partners, we are building a team of world-class engineers, designers, and operators to define the future of home robotics.

We are looking for a Founding Electronics Engineer to lead the electrical systems behind our robotics platform. This is an opportunity to build and scale first-of-its-kind consumer robotics hardware while having a direct and lasting impact on our product and company trajectory.

The Role

As the Founding Electronics Engineer, you will take ownership of electrical architecture, PCB design, and embedded systems development for Bento. You will work alongside the founding team to drive core technology decisions, prototype rapidly, and bring a consumer hardware product to market by EoY.

What You'll Do:

- Own the Electronics Stack – Architect, design, and optimize all electrical subsystems for Bento.

- Circuit & PCB Development – Design, prototype, and iterate custom PCBs for power, sensing, and motor control, etc.

- Embedded Systems – Develop firmware for ESP32 and interface with Raspberry Pi 5.

- IoT & Communication Protocols – Implement robust communication (UART, SPI, I2C) between subsystems.

- Prototyping & Manufacturing – Rapidly iterate designs, select components, and prepare for mass production.

- Regulatory & Compliance – Ensure designs meet consumer safety and certification standards (FCC, UL, CE).

- Technical Leadership – Define and implement best practices for hardware engineering at Swish Robotics.

Who You Are

Required Qualifications:

- Experience in e lectronics engineering, PCB design, and embedded systems.

- Proven ability to take a product from prototype to mass production.

- Deep expertise in circuit design, power electronics, and embedded firmware development.

- Experience designing for consumer hardware, robotics, or electromechanical systems.

- Hands-on problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced, iterative startup environment.

- Strong understanding of IoT architectures and communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, MQTT).

- Experience working with contract manufacturers and suppliers.

Bonus:

- Experience with kitchen appliances, automation, or robotics.

Why Join Us?

• Build Something Revolutionary – Be at the forefront of consumer robotics and embodied AI.
• High Ownership & Impact – Your work will directly shape the future of Swish.
• Equity – Meaningful equity in one of the fastest-growing robotics companies.
• First 5 Employees – Help define the culture, vision, and technical foundation of our company.
• Fast Execution – We move quickly, break things, and learn fast.
• It’s a Grind (But Worth It) – We're building ambitious hardware, which means long hours, high standards, and constant problem-solving. It’s not easy—but if you’re wired for this, there’s nowhere more exciting to be.
