Automation & Control Engineer

Role mission

Own the motion intelligence layer — the kinematics, dynamics, and control code that turn perception into safe, precise physical action. This is the role closest to the hardware and the role on which deployment reliability ultimately rests.

Key responsibilities

• Design motion sequences for the program‘s task library (‘Grasp-Turn-Pull‘ for door operations, cassette handoff, bag manipulation, replenishment patterns).
• Implement force and torque control for delicate tasks where pure position control is insufficient.
• Optimise gait, balance, and stability during heavy lifting and dynamic carrying for bipedal platforms.
• Build the motion-primitive library and Action Library that higher-level planners call into.
• Develop dexterous-hand grasping strategies appropriate to the program‘s object catalogue.
• Maintain the kinematic and dynami...
