Senior Robotics Controls Engineer

About the Role

We are building a new generation robotics software stack designed specifically for embedded robotic controllers.

Senior Robotics Controls Engineer

What You'll Do

• Design and implement

  real-time robotic control algorithms

  (PID, LQR, MPC, etc.) running directly on MCUs
• Develop

  application-level logic

  including motion control, sensor fusion, state estimation, and mission behaviors
• Optimize algorithms for

  embedded compute, memory, and latency constraints

• Work closely with embedded engineers to align control cycles with

  DMA timing, cache behavior, ISR latency, and bus bandwidth

• Integrate sensors and actuators using platform-level APIs (CAN, SPI, I2C, encoder interfaces)
• Ensure

  deterministic timing

  , low jitter, and stable closed-loop performance
• Prototype control strategies using physics models and port them to real hardware
• Tune and validate control loops on real robots
• Contribute to architecture discussions for a

  next-gen robotics SDK

Must-Have Skills

Robotics & Controls

• Strong experience with

  control theory

  : PID, LQR, state-space control, MPC
• Solid knowledge of

  robot dynamics, kinematics, motor control, and actuator modeling

• Understanding of

  state estimation

• Strong fundamentals in

  physics and applied mathematics

Embedded Execution Model Awareness

• ARM Cortex-M architecture:

  TCM/DTCM, SRAM, flash wait states

• Understanding of

  cache, memory layout, DMA timing

  , and interrupts
• Awareness of

  RTOS task scheduling, tick jitter, priority handling

• Knowledge of

  peripheral constraints

  : SPI latency, encoder interfaces, ADC timing
• Ability to design algorithms that

  fit the system

  instead of forcing complexity blindly

Programming

• Strong in

  C/C++

  for embedded applications
• Experience writing

  control logic on MCU platforms

• Ability to profile and optimize for

  latency, bandwidth, and memory
