Key skills for this role
We're looking for a Controls Engineer to own motion from command to actuator. You'll design and tune the control loops that let our machines do sub-millimeter precision work under real load: motor control, trajectory execution, force and impedance control, and the sensor feedback that closes every loop. You'll work tightly with mechanical, electrical, and software to make the whole machine behave as one deterministic system. We iterate fast (multiple robot generations in months, not years), so the controllers you build land on real hardware doing real precision work almost immediately.
The datacenter buildout is the largest industrial project in human history. Gradient builds the autonomous robots that make it possible.
Partnered with the world's largest AI infrastructure companies and backed by the industry's best investors, we move fast and build full-stack systems that matter.
