Robotics Software Engineer – Control Systems

Note:

Not open to corp-to-corp and relocation

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science
• 5 years of experience in controls systems engineering for high-DOF robotic hardware
• C and Python
• Robotics / automation industry experience is a must
• Experience working in early-stage startups required
• Experience tele-operation, force-torque sensor, torque control
• Strong foundation in control theory and mechanics, including model predictive control, linear and nonlinear optimization
• Understanding of 3D coordinate systems transform, as well as rigid and non-rigid body dynamics
• Detail-oriented mindset with the ability to identify subtle issues across system layers (e.g., baud rate & time syncing)
• Experience with vision-language-action models (VLA), reinforcement learning, or world models

Responsibilities:

• Take end-to-end ownership of the motion and force control stack, from low-level systems to high-level integration
• Develop and improve various teleoperation technologies to make operations intuitive, smooth and fast
• Develop fault-detection, collision avoidance systems, conduct safety analyses, and lead rigorous testing
• Work closely with software engineers to refine system usability through real-world use cases and continuous iteration
• Collaborate on the design of new hardware platforms and tools to improve robotic manipulation, including evaluating and recommending novel sensors
