We are seeking a Systems Integration Engineer focused on actuators to join the Actuation team. This role works closely with mechanical, electrical, controls, and software teams across design and manufacturing to deliver robust, high-performance actuation systems for the humanoid robot.

Job Responsibility:

  • Collaborate on the system-level deployment of actuators within the humanoid robot, including interfaces, behavior, and performance at the robot level
  • Collaborate on calibration strategies and end-of-line bring-up
  • Define and execute design-validation and production-scale test plans for actuation subsystems, document results, and ensure quality and reliability targets are met
  • Incorporate sensing and feedback systems, including position and torque, into real-time control architectures
  • Develop real-time diagnostic algorithms to enable fall-back strategies
  • Debug and analyze performance
  • Perform hands‑on debugging of mechanical, electrical and software integration issues
  • use diagnostic tools to identify root causes and drive corrective actions
  • Tune controllers and characterize performance
  • Collaborate with controls engineers to synthesize and tune high‑bandwidth controllers

  • Design Validation Test Plans: Specify test plans for validation
  • Bring up prototypes and first articles
  • Develop automation and tooling
  • Build scripts, dashboards and automated test rigs to streamline repetitive testing, data collection and diagnostics

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of hands‑on experience working on robotic or electromechanical systems with a focus on actuation, manipulation or integration
  • Proficiency in Matlab and Python for testing infrastructure, data analysis and control engineering
  • Proven experience integrating sensors, and control tuning of motion systems
  • Strong understanding of mechanics, kinematics, controls, dynamics and sensor technologies
  • Familiarity with Linux‑based development environments and capability to read C++
  • Proficiency with lab equipment for validation, instrumentation, and system-level debugging
  • Resilient and effective in fast-paced, challenging environments
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Controls Engineering, Robotics or a related field

Nice to have:

  • Prior work on high performance electro-actuation systems in multi DOF systems, deployed at large scale
  • Proficiency in C++
  • Working knowledge of communication buses and protocols like Ethernet, Ethercat, Serial, SPI and I2C
