Ideal candidate

Controls-focused roboticist who loves hands-on hardware work and turning sim-learned behavior into reliable real-world performance. You thrive with researchers, own systems end-to-end, and care about open science.

Requirements

• Master's with 3+ years experience, or PhD, in robotics, control or related field; Bachelor's with 3+ years industry experience also considered
• Implemented and tuned real-time controllers (joint, impedance, operational-space or torque control) on physical robots
• Solid grounding in rigid-body dynamics, control theory, stability analysis and system identification
• Understanding of floating-base dynamics, contact constraints and inverse dynamics with experience in QP-based whole-body control, operational-space control or MPC on hardware or high-fidelity simulator
• Substantial hands-on experience with real-robot manipulation including bring-up, calibration and control of arms
• Experience with humanoid whole-body control and Unitree platforms (G1, H1 and similar) is a strong plus
