About the Role

You will develop real-time robotic-arm control software, optimization-based planning, and state estimation. You will integrate sensor fusion, validate and tune controllers in simulation and hardware, and build scalable systems for precise manipulation.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of optimization-based multi-DOF control experience on robotic systems
  • State-estimation experience for real-time robotic systems
  • Sensor fusion experience
  • Knowledge of spatial kinematics and dynamics
  • Experience iterating on multi-DOF torque-control systems
  • Fluency in modern C++ and Python

Responsibilities

  • Develop real-time C++ control software for robotic arms
  • Build trajectory optimization, inverse dynamics, and whole-arm motion-control components
  • Develop real-time state estimation and sensor fusion
  • Own controller validation, hardware bring-up, tuning, and regression testing
  • Design scalable integrations with autonomy, hardware, and testing systems

Benefits

  • Equity compensation
  • Comprehensive health coverage
  • Dental coverage
  • Vision coverage
  • Generous PTO
