Job description

We're looking for a hands-on Embedded Controls Engineer to own firmware, plant identification, and closed-loop control for a novel actuator platform targeting humanoid robotics joints. This is not a tuning role on a known plant: you will define the control strategy for an actuator whose physics do not map cleanly to a standard motor-control playbook.
What You'll Do
  • Firmware: Write and own the full embedded stack - state machine, multi-phase commutation, and fault handling on an ARM Cortex-M or similar MCU.
  • Plant Characterization: Design and run frequency sweep experiments on live hardware; extract Bode plots, transfer functions, and the limits of existing modeling assumptions.
  • Control Architecture: Develop the control approach required by the actuator - whether by adapting advanced controls methods or inventing new ones; validate in simulation, then implement and tune on hardware.
  • Host Interface: Implement controls protocol; mirror the same command set a BLDC motor controller accepts where useful, without forcing the actuator into the wrong abstraction.
  • System Integration: Own full system integration through Alpha and 1M-cycle endurance soak.

Qualifications
  • Education: BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
  • Experience: 3+ years in embedded controls, including at least one real system taken from open-loop characterization to stable closed-loop operation on hardware.
  • Core technical skills:
    • Embedded C/C++ on ARM Cortex-M - state machines, interrupts, real-time constraints
    • Control systems: frequency-domain plant ID, transfer function analysis, and strong command of classical and modern control methods
    • Motor control background (BLDC/PMSM, FOC) - strong plus, especially if you know where the standard framework breaks
    • Comfort building controls for electromechanical systems that do not come with an accepted architecture, mature model, or datasheet
  • What we value:
    • First-principles fluency - form a deep physical model of a new system and turn it into a practical control architecture
    • Originality and technical courage - able to reject the default approach when the plant demands something different
    • A builder mindset: bench time, fast failure analysis, iterating toward a real product
