Senior Robotics Motion Control Engineer

Why Join Us?

You’ll work on cutting-edge robotic systems where your expertise in kinematics and motion control directly shapes product performance and innovation. This is an opportunity to contribute to highly technical, real-world robotic applications in a collaborative engineering environment focused on precision, reliability, and advanced system design.

This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of robotics, controls, embedded systems, and real-world motion dynamics. You will own the design and performance of sophisticated 1–6 degree-of-freedom robotic systems, working across actuator systems, motion control firmware, servo tuning, trajectory planning, and closed-loop control architectures.

If you are passionate about robotics, precision motion, and solving complex kinematic challenges, this is an opportunity to make a significant technical impact.
