Actuator Systems Engineer, Fauna

Job description

Every motion our robots make starts with an actuator, and we’re looking for an Actuator Systems Engineer to help us build better ones. This role is for someone who enjoys the full loop: building a model of how a motor or transmission should behave, rigorously testing this around other industry standards, and then iterating on the hardware or firmware until the desired specification is met.

You’ll work across electrical, mechanical, and firmware design, and you’ll own actuator performance from the bench all the way to robots running in people’s homes. The things you learn and build will directly shape how safe, reliable, efficient, quiet, and strong our robots are.

Job requirements

Experience in developing functional specifications, design verification plans and functional test procedures
PhD in EE, ME, Robotics, Physics, or a related field, or a Master’s degree in one of these fields and 4+ years of industry experience developing actuators, motors, or other electromechanical systems
Experience building models of electromechanical or thermal systems and validating them against test data
Hands-on experience testing and characterizing motors or actuators
Experience writing embedded motor control firmware in C or C++, and analyzing data in Python
Experience leading a technical project from early concept through validation
Experience designing actuators for robots
Experience with brushless motor design, field-oriented control, or power electronics
