Controls Engineer - Motor & Motion Control SystemsAbout The Role:We are looking for a Controls Engineer to join our team, focusing on robot dynamics and controls, motor controls, and precision real-time systems that power our next-generation autonomous weapon platforms. This role requires strong experience with Python and controls development, with additional exposure to C, C++ and MATLAB being helpful but not mandatory. This is a unique opportunity to work in a fast-paced startup environment on systems where your work directly influences system performance and mission success.
What You'll Do:- Develop and refine motor control systems for high-precision actuation in real-time applications.
- Build simulation and testing tools in C++ or Python to validate control systems.
- Collaborate closely with embedded software engineers, hardware teams, and computer vision specialists to integrate control systems into our autonomous platforms.
- Analyze system dynamics and performance, and develop solutions for complex control challenges.
- Support system integration, tuning, and field testing of autonomous systems.
- Document control strategies, algorithms, and performance metrics.
- Stay current with advancements in control theory, robotics, and real-time systems.
What You'll Need:- A strong passion for controls engineering and autonomous systems.
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, or related field.
- 3+ years of experience in controls engineering with proven proficiency in Python.
- Experience developing flight control systems, motor control algorithms, or real-time motion control applications.
- Familiarity with control theory, PID tuning, state estimation, and feedback control loops.
- Knowledge of system identification methods and algorithms and robotics motion control strategies.
- Experience with simulation environments and test frameworks (Python-based preferred).
- Understanding of real-time constraints and hardware-software integration challenges.
- Comfortable with Git, CI/CD workflows, and writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code.
- A desire to work in a highly collaborative, fast-paced startup environment.
You'll Stand Out:- Experience with embedded systems programming C/C++.
- Familiarity with Python or MATLAB/Simulink for modeling and simulation.
- Experience developing autonomous aerial or ground robotic platforms.
- Familiarity with sensor fusion, state estimation, and Kalman filtering.
- Familiarity with MIMO systems and adaptive and nonlinear control mechanisms.
- Exposure to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing environments.
- Prior experience with ruggedized defense or aerospace systems.
