About the Role
As a Robotics Software Engineer focusing on Controls, you'll design and develop the control systems that transform high-level motion commands into precise, responsive, and reliable robot behavior. You will work closely with electrical, mechanical, and machine learning engineers, integrating firmware with our custom hardware to enable compliant, force-sensitive motion.
Responsibilities
- Own policy-output-to-joint-commands, turning action streams into whole-body motion by retiming, smoothing, and coordinating arms, torso, and base without sacrificing responsiveness.
- Design, implement, and tune hierarchical control systems, including nested feedback control loops.
- Build motor control software from early prototypes through production deployment.
- Build whole-body controllers, including operational-space and impedance control, QP-based whole-body control with contact and joint constraints, and compliant behaviors for safe operation.
- Architect reliable, high-performance software meeting the timing, safety, and robustness requirements of production robotic systems.
- Build robust pipelines for encoder calibration, current and voltage sensing, filtering, synchronization, and system characterization.
Requirements
- 3+ years building controllers that ran on real robot hardware, ideally manipulators or legged/mobile platforms.
- Strong understanding of motor control theory with hands-on implementation experience with rotary encoders, current sensing, calibration, filtering, and synchronization techniques for robust feedback control.
- Proficiency developing embedded software with a deep understanding of real-time constraints and low-level peripherals.
- Experience with embedded communication interfaces such as SPI, I²C, RS-485, CAN/CAN FD, Ethernet, or EtherCAT.
- Knowledge of embedded safety mechanisms, including brownout detection, overcurrent protection, watchdogs, and thermal monitoring.
- Excellent instincts for the gap between offline tracking plots and real-world performance.
