About the role

Internship focusing on bringing up firmware components for multi-axis robotic systems, including hardware drivers, communication protocols, and controls functions to enable robot operation and product launch.

Responsibilities

  • Support the development and tuning of motion control components for multi-axis robotic systems, including actuator control, trajectory generation, and path execution.
  • Implement and test control loops for position, velocity, torque, and force control, and compare real-world behavior against model-based predictions.
  • Contribute to state estimation work, including sensor fusion and Kalman filter–based estimators, in both simulation and on hardware.
  • Work with distributed communication interfaces (e.g. CAN, NATS, ROS2) to move data between controllers, sensors, and actuators.
  • Support motor and sensor bring-up, including calibration, diagnostics, and characterization of encoders, IMUs, and BLDC/stepper/servo drives.
  • Iterate between simulation and hardware testing to reproduce corner cases, debug issues, and improve robustness.
  • Write clear, maintainable C++ and Python for both real-time and high-level control software.

Qualifications

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Coursework or project experience in control theory, kinematics, dynamics, or system modeling for electromechanical systems.
  • Proficiency in C/C++ and/or Python for embedded and/or high-level control software.
  • Exposure to motor control (BLDC, stepper, servo) and sensor integration (e.g. encoders, IMUs, cameras) through coursework, labs, projects, or competition teams.
  • Comfortable working in Linux-based development environments and with Git version control workflows.
  • A bias toward simple, elegant, robust solutions over unnecessary control system complexity.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to debug complex electromechanical systems at both the hardware and software level, often with limited telemetry.
  • Demonstrated interest in approaching challenges with a physics-based, first-principles mindset.
