Electrical Engineer - Consumer Electronics

About the Team

DoorDash Labs, established in 2018, serves as the innovation hub for DoorDash, focusing on developing automation and robotics solutions to enhance last-mile logistics. The team's mission is to create technologies that support and augment human networks, aiming to improve efficiency for Dashers, merchants, and consumers alike.  We’re ruthlessly focused on business impact.  We are a highly senior team composed of former pioneers from a variety of different robotics industries.  As of 2025, DoorDash has completed 10B lifetime deliveries.  We’re focused on how to do the next 10B even better.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior/Staff Electrical Engineer to join our multidisciplinary team, with a focus on developing production-grade electrical systems for consumer and enterprise hardware platforms (e.g., tablets, POS systems, peripherals, and connected devices).

This role demands a strong background in mixed-signal board design, power systems, wireless integration, and high-volume product development. The ideal candidate has a passion for building and shipping reliable hardware at scale and thrives in an environment that demands technical depth and high-quality execution across multiple concurrent programs.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

Architect and implement electrical subsystems including:

• Power systems: battery management, charging, DC/DC converters, power distribution, and protection.
• Digital and mixed-signal board design: application processors, MCUs, high-speed interfaces (USB, PCIe, MIPI, etc.), memory, and sensor integration.
• Wireless systems: WiFi, BLE, LTE, antennas, and EMI/EMC-conscious layout and integration.
• Peripheral and display integration: touch interfaces, display subsystems, and external connectivity.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the full lifecycle of electrical hardware from concept, schematic capture, layout review, through bring-up, validation, certification, and production handoff.
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, systems, product, and operations teams to ensure seamless integration of hardware into polished, field-deployed products.
• Drive design for reliability and manufacturability (EVT, DVT, PVT, yield optimization, cost-down initiatives, etc.).
• Lead board bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting using lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, etc.).
• Support initial firmware bring-up and system integration as needed (bare metal, RTOS, embedded Linux, or Android-based systems).
• Contribute across multiple programs — including merchant-facing hardware and emerging automation or robotics efforts — as business needs evolve.

We’re excited about you because…

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in hands-on electrical hardware development.
• Proven track record of shipping high-volume consumer or enterprise electronics.
• Expertise in one or more of the following:
  • Power management and battery-operated product design.
  • Digital and analog circuit design, simulation, and layout best practices.
  • High-speed digital design and signal/power integrity considerations.
  • Wireless system integration and EMI/EMC-aware layout techniques.
    • Strong hands-on experience with board bring-up, testing, and debugging.
    • Experience working with ODM/JDM or contract manufacturing partners to scale products to mass production.
    • Fluent with tools like Altium, OrCAD, KiCad, or equivalent.
    • Must be comfortable regularly exercising discretion and inde
