Job Description

As Manager – Robot Control Systems, you will be responsible for leading the development of various controls architecture and algorithms, leading with a team of talented engineers. You will work on multiple robotic systems and be involved in solving challenging problems for cutting-edge robotics technology and applications. Also, you will work closely with a cross-disciplinary team of hardware and software engineers to efficiently implement ongoing research and ideas into our robot technology platform. You will see your ideas translated into actions that matter in the real world to make robots that are intelligent, collaborative, and intuitive to work with. The ideal candidate will have a strong background with demonstrated experience in modeling and designing feedback control algorithms and methods for complex and non-linear electromechanical systems.

Job Responsibilities

• Define technical direction and coherent strategy for control systems for different robotic platforms.
• Develop feedback control algorithms and sensor fusion methods for complex and non-linear electromechanical systems.
• Coordinate in development of a robust system level design for software and hardware.
• Collaborate with engineers from other disciplines and communicate design priorities and provide constructive guidance to evolve a robust and reliable robot platform.
• Lead and mentor team to effectively contribute to product milestones.

Required Skills and Experience

• 8+ years of professional experience in development of controls systems for complex electromechanical systems.
• Solid foundation in control theory and application i.e., stability analysis, continuous & discrete-time systems, frequency & time domain analysis, state-space analysis etc.
• Knowledge of control techniques and algorithms for BLDC motors.
• Experience in MATLAB/SIMULINK or similar kind of tools.
• Experience in instrumentation for testing, data acquisition and analysis.
• Knowledge of real-time constraints and hardware interfaces (e.g. Ethernet, CAN, UART, SPI, I2C etc.) is a plus.
• The ideal candidate would have strong leadership and communication skills and would be able to collaborate with an interdisciplinary team.
• A good understanding of the software development process and best practices is a plus.
• Ability and desire to work in a fast-paced, iterative development environment.
• Willingness to take on new challenges and solve unfamiliar problems.

Education

• MTech/ PhD in the field(s) of Electrical Engineering or related field with specialization in controls
