About the role

Robotics Controls Engineer role focused on architecting and implementing advanced motion control systems for multi-axis robotic platforms in warehouse automation, spanning real-time embedded software, communication architecture, and control algorithm design.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and implement motion control frameworks for multi-axis robotic systems, including actuator control, trajectory generation, and dynamic path execution
  • Design and integrate communication architectures for distributed controllers, sensors, and actuators, including pub/sub messaging frameworks (e.g., NATS, ROS2, custom protocols)
  • Develop, simulate, and tune control algorithms for position, velocity, torque, and force control, incorporating model-based techniques and Kalman filter–based state estimation
  • Lead sensor fusion and localization efforts to ensure robust, real-time state estimation in both simulated and physical environments
  • Define motor and sensor strategies, including hardware selection, calibration, and diagnostics, to meet performance, safety, and scalability requirements
  • Build and maintain simulation and automated test tools to prototype new control strategies, validate them in CI/CD, and translate them into production-ready implementations
  • Iterate between simulation and hardware testing to diagnose corner cases, improve algorithms, and ensure robustness in diverse real-world conditions
  • Deliver high-quality, maintainable code in C++ and Python for real-time and high-level control systems

Qualifications

  • BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or related field
  • Strong background in control theory, kinematics, dynamics, and system modeling for electromechanical systems
  • Proficiency in C/C++ and/or Python for embedded and high-level control software
  • Demonstrated ability to balance control system complexity with simplicity, elegance, and robustness in production implementations
  • Experience with motor control (BLDC, stepper, servo), sensor integration (e.g., encoders, IMUs, cameras), and real-time operating systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, RT Linux, Zephyr)
  • Familiarity with CAN, pub/sub communication frameworks, distributed control architectures, and safety-critical system design standards (ISO 13849, IEC 61508)
  • Ability to debug and optimize complex electromechanical systems with limited telemetry, using both software and hardware tools
  • Demonstrated experience in approaching challenges with a physics-based, first-principles mindset to develop innovative solutions
