  • Implement and optimize control loops for precise robotic manipulation
  • Integrate and calibrate sensors (force, tactile, IMU, encoders)
  • Work with RTOS and Linux-based real-time controllers
  • Develop and test safety-critical systems for robotic hands
  • Collaborate with AI and hardware teams to optimize system performance
  • Pursuing a BS or MS in Robotics, Mechatronics, or related CS/Engineering fields
  • Strong Rust & C skills with experience in embedded systems development and rust embassy
  • Strong Python skills with experience with HIL testing and hardware integration
  • Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux kernel development
  • Familiarity with motor control systems and sensor interfaces
  • Understanding of real-time control loops and timing constraints
  • Experience with communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I2C, EtherCAT)
  • Familiarity with debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers)
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2, machine learning, or HIL testing
  • Opportunity to make impactful contributions to real-world robotics systems
  • Work alongside world-class roboticists and engineers
  • Access to state-of-the-art robotic platforms and labs
  • Competitive salary and equity package
  • Comprehensive health benefits Two technical phone interview followed by a technical presentation.
