About the Role

You will transition vehicle control from manually tuned MPC to learning-driven policies. You will collect and analyze real-world data, identify plant models, implement learning-based control, integrate controllers safely, define control interfaces, and validate policies before deployment on vehicles.

Requirements

  • 2-3 years of experimental data collection and data-analysis experience for automatic-control plant models
  • Production-quality software engineering skills in C, C++, or Python
  • Deep understanding of modern robotics control systems
  • Experience with learning-based control or policy optimization for real-world systems
  • Ability to work near hardware and real-time constraints

Responsibilities

  • Generate test plans and collect real-world data for plant-model system identification
  • Use real-world data to estimate parameters for automatic-control plant models
  • Design and implement learning-based control approaches
  • Reduce reliance on hand-tuned control parameters using data-driven methods
  • Integrate learned controllers into the vehicle-control stack safely and incrementally
  • Define interfaces between MPC, PID, state estimation, and learning-based components
  • Translate classical-control insights into learning-friendly formulations
  • Establish validation criteria for learned control policies before real-vehicle deployment
