RIVR, part of Amazon is a robotics company pioneering Physical AI through real-world doorstep delivery. Founded in 2024 as an ETH Zurich spin-off, RIVR developed wheeled-legged robots designed to operate in complex, unstructured environments such as stairs, gates, doors, and uneven urban terrain. We believe that achieving general physical intelligence requires solving real customer problems in the real world, where robots can learn from rich operational data at scale. Following our acquisition by Amazon in March 2026, we are continuing this mission with greater reach and speed. By combining custom robot hardware, onboard autonomy, and cloud-based coordination, RIVR, part of Amazon is building the next generation of safe, reliable autonomous robots for last-mile delivery Job Description As a Junior Electronics Engineer, you will spearhead the design, development, and testing of our robots' custom electronics. Your expertise will encompass power electronics (motor control, power distribution), digital electronics (PCBA design, microprocessor) firmware and communication protocols, ensuring that our robots not only meet specific application requirements but are also scalable and cost-effective for mass production. We value candidates with a proven track record of transitioning projects from prototyping and proof-of-concepts to MVPs, full products, and ultimately, mass production. If you are driven to innovate in robotic design, we invite you to join our team and help shape the future of intelligent robotics.
About the Company At Avaron, you get the security of permanent employment combined with the variety of working at different customers. We place specialists across everything from tech, IT and industry to project management and business support – and whatever the assignment, you have a consultant manager who is there for you and your development. About the Role You will join an industrial electronics environment where hardware is developed for products such as softstarters and contactors. In this role, you will work across the full development chain, from early concept work to verification, documentation and support for implementation in production. You will collaborate closely with suppliers as well as internal stakeholders in product management and factory operations, which means you will see how your designs perform both in the lab and in real products. This is an exciting opportunity if you want to combine hands-on circuit design with end-to-end ownership in a product-focused setting. Job DescriptionYou will design, develop and implement analog and digital circuits from concept phase through serial production. You will create schematics and define constraints for PCB layout. You will define verification specifications and drive verification activities for your designs. You will validate solutions through simulation, prototype testing and laboratory work. You will take responsibility for hardware development activities and coordinate with suppliers and cross-functional teams. You will document developed solutions and support handover and implementation in factory environments. RequirementsB.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in Electronic Engineering, Embedded Systems or a comparable field. At least 2 years of experience in development of industrial electronics within embedded systems as a hardware design engineer. Sound knowledge in designing electronic circuits, circuit diagrams and working with simulation tools. Experience in testing and validation of prototypes in a laboratory. Willingness to travel internationally on a limited basis. Fluency in English, written and spoken. Nice to haveKnowledge in EMC compatible design. Experience in working with voltage levels up to ~1kV. Swedish language skills. What We OfferPermanent employment at Avaron AB Occupational pension Wellness allowance of SEK 5,000 per year Application Selections are made on an ongoing basis – apply as soon as you can.
