Job Description
Responsibilities
Design, implement, and tune real-time controllers for robot arms and multi-fingeredhands
Bring up new robot hardware: ros2_control hardware interfaces and drivers, high-ratecontrol loops, fault handling and safety limits, and integration with teleoperation anddata-collection pipelines
Perform system identification of arms and hands
Validate controller and model accuracy against hardware, quantify and reduce thesim-to-real gaps
Build controller and hardware benchmarks and produce transparent, data-driven reports
Partner closely with policy researchers to deploy RL and behavior-cloning policies onhardware — tune the controller/policy interface, diagnose failures, and close the loop ontraining-environment fidelity
Write clean, tested code and document systems for a cross-functional team
Skills and Requirements
Minimum Qualifications
BS in Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field, orequivalent practical experience
3+ years of hands-on experience implementing and tuning controllers on real robothardware
Strong grounding in robot dynamics and control: rigid-body dynamics,impedance/admittance control, operational-space control, stability and bandwidthanalysis
Proficiency in C++ and Python
Experience with ROS 2 (ros2_control preferred) and real-time Linux-based robotsystems
Experience with experimental data analysis: designing tests, fitting models, andinterpreting frequency- and time-domain responses
Preferred Qualifications
MS or PhD in robotics or controls




Experience with dexterous or multi-fingered hands, tendon-driven or backdrivableactuators, or torque-controlled arms
System identification and model calibration for physics simulators (MuJoCo, Isaac, orsimilar); familiarity with domain randomization
Experience deploying learned policies (RL, imitation learning) on hardware, or workingalongside policy researchers
Familiarity with rigid-body dynamics libraries and optimization tooling
Experience with teleoperation systems (VR or exoskeleton-based) and data-collectionpipelines
Experience with force/torque sensing, tactile sensing, or motor-current-based forceestimation
