About Mecka AI

Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems.
We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware.

About the Role

You will build the electronics and sensing systems that let robots learn from physical experience. From complete camera electronics to wearable sensors, you will turn prototypes into reliable hardware that records useful data across Mecka's growing global capture network.

Own the work from circuit design and first power-on through measurement, system validation, and production.

Relevant Specializations

Bring depth in at least one area; you do not need expertise in all three.

• Camera SoC electronics: complete camera boards, from SoC, memory, power, and image-sensor interfaces to high-speed PCB design and system bring-up.

• Wearable and sensor electronics: compact, low-power circuits, low-noise readout, microcontrollers, and embedded C or C++ for sensor integration.

• Sensing R&D: sensing physics, sensor prototyping, experimental characterization, calibration, and signal processing.

What You Will Do

• Design circuits, schematics, and PCB layouts for capture devices and wearable sensing systems; bring up and debug the resulting hardware.

• Select and integrate commercial sensors, or develop new sensing approaches within your specialization. Build prototypes and fixtures.

• Characterize noise, sensitivity, drift, and repeatability. Develop calibration and signal-processing methods that produce trustworthy measurements.

• Work with firmware and mechanical engineers to validate power, timing, synchronization, and sensor performance after packaging and repeated use.

• Carry designs into production with suppliers, using test results and field failures to improve reliability and manufacturing consistency.

Skills and Experience

• Hands-on circuit design, PCB development, and board bring-up experience, using tools such as Altium or KiCad.

• A strong foundation in analog and digital electronics, power supplies, grounding, decoupling, and sensor interfaces.

• Practical debugging and prototyping skills with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, laboratory power supplies, and soldering or rework tools.

• Ability to design controlled experiments, distinguish signal from noise and measurement error, and analyze results in Python or a similar language.

• Evidence of taking a prototype through rigorous testing and resolving problems across electronics, firmware, and mechanical integration. Clear documentation of designs, measurements, and decisions.

Camera SoC specialization

• Experience owning a complete SoC-based camera or embedded vision board, from component selection and schematics through PCB layout, bring-up, and validation.

• Hands-on design of DDR or LPDDR memory, camera interfaces such as MIPI CSI-2, storage, high-speed I/O such as USB 3 or PCIe, and power management and sequencing. Ability to define PCB stack-up, impedance, routing, grounding, and decoupling constraints.

• Ability to debug boot, memory, clocks, resets, and camera links with firmware engineers, and validate sustained capture under realistic bandwidth, power, and thermal loads.

Nice to Have

• Experience applying tactile, force, pressure, or other wearable sensors in real systems.

• Experience with flexible circuits, EMC, wireless or battery-powered devices, or production test and calibration.

About You

• You are ambitious about what you build. You can point to results you personally delivered.

• You care deeply about your craft, pursue difficult questions, and learn quickly.

• You take initiative and own problems through to results. You work independently, make decisions, and bring others in when needed.

• You communicate honestly. You own mistakes, share credit, and help the people around you succeed.

A Note on Applying

Studies show women and candidates from underrepresented groups often only apply when they meet 100% of the listed qualifications, while others apply after meeting 60%. If you don't check every box above but believe you can do the job, we encourage you to apply — we're looking for capability and trajectory, not a perfect checklist match.

Inclusive Hiring at Mecka

We are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive candidate experience. Should you require any accommodation whatsoever during the interview process, please inform us without any hesitation. Mecka is dedicated to ensuring equal treatment and opportunity in all phases of recruitment, selection, and employment, in compliance with employment law. We do not discriminate based on gender, race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, veteran or military status, or any other protected category. Mecka is proud to be an equal opportunity employer, fostering a culture of inclusivity and maintaining a work environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.

Use of Artificial Intelligence in Recruitment

Mecka uses artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly to support administrative and efficiency-focused aspects of our recruitment process. This includes activities such as drafting job descriptions, generating interview questions, note-taking and recordings, and supporting sourcing and scheduling workflows. All candidate evaluations, interviews, and hiring decisions are made by members of the Mecka team. While AI tools may assist with screening and assessment, they do not replace human judgment in selection decisions. Our use of AI is intended to streamline routine tasks, improve consistency, and enhance the overall candidate experience. We are committed to upholding principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability in all hiring activities. Mecka regularly reviews its recruitment practices to mitigate bias and to ensure alignment with applicable laws and evolving best practices.
