Full Job Description
What We're Looking For

We are looking for controls engineers to join our team!

We're still a small team-which means high ownership, high equity, and the chance to shape the product from the ground up.

You should strongly consider applying if:
  • You've controlled the motion of real-world hardware before, not just in simulation-e.g., nanometer-scale control of EUV lithography machines, or making a quadruped do a backflip
  • You like to understand the entire system you're working with-e.g., you care about details like time-sync between two processors, or the stiffness properties of the mechanical assembly
  • You have a good understanding of model predictive control, nonlinear optimization, sensor fusion strategies
  • You pride yourself on writing robust code that others can trust for years

We primarily use C++, with some Python for prototyping. We don't use ROS.

You'd be joining a company that already has a solid core business-with working hardware, delighted customers, and profitable unit economics. Reflex is de-risked enough to see the hazy outlines of success, but still small enough that there's enormous upside up for grabs.

Compensation: $215,000-$300,000, depending on experience, skills, and qualifications

Come Join Us

This is a rare opportunity to help build a flagship robotics company from the ground up-and to do work that will truly matter, reshaping what people believe is possible in robotics.

We love to see the things you've worked on. Have a portfolio or insane project you've worked on? Share it. We're looking for people who push past the status quo, are passionate at work and in their own time-we're looking for people who want to win.
