Senior Motor Control Engineer
Job description
We’re building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it’s not.
To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you’re inspired by this, you’ll thrive here. We’ve been at this since 2014 and we’re at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.
NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We’re not demoing it - we’re shipping it. We’re excited to meet you, if this excites you.
Job requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls, Mechatronics, Robotics or a related field
- 3+ years of industry experience designing and tuning motor control on real hardware, with level set by depth and scope of ownership
- Shipped motor control: field-oriented control with cascaded current, velocity and position loops for PMSM or BLDC motors that you designed or tuned, running on hardware that reached production, a fielded fleet or a…
- Strong command of PMSM modelling in the dq frame, space-vector PWM, inverter non-idealities (dead time, current sensing, ADC and PWM timing) and voltage limits
- Hands-on motor parameter identification and position sensor calibration (encoder, Hall or resolver, including commutation offset)
- Dynamometer experience measuring torque constant, efficiency, torque ripple and loop response, and turning the data into control changes
- Controller modelling and simulation in MATLAB/Simulink or Python
- Ability to read embedded C/C++ well enough to trace control behavior back to the code
