Senior Robotics Control Engineer

5+ years of experience implementing optimization-based multi-DOF control algorithms (inverse dynamics, trajectory optimization) on real robotic systems

Experience building state estimation solutions for real-time robotic systems such as (E)KFs, Particle Filters, Factor Graphs, etc.

Experience with various sensors (encoders, torque sensors, force-torque sensors, IMUs) and sensor fusion

Deep understanding of spatial kinematics, dynamics, and related mathematical concepts

A proven track record iterating on complex multi-DOF systems, with emphasis on torque control and low impedance

Fluency in modern C++ and Python

This is one of the only places where world-class manufacturing operators, mechanical engineers, robotics researchers, and software engineers sit in the same room — building production systems together.

We are committed to being deeply embedded in the U.S. industrial base. Our focus is simple: build adaptive robotic assembly systems that make American manufacturing scalable, resilient, and competitive again.
