Motion Control Tech Lead

• Lead the definition and validation of motor control methodologies, spanning BLDC/PMSM motors, harmonic and planetary gears, and advanced drivers.
• Design and execute structured tests to characterize performance - torque, speed, resolution, responsiveness, thermal behavior, and more.
• Collaborate with embedded and control teams to guide the implementation and tuning of FOC, PID, and impedance control loops.
• Interface with mechanical and electrical teams to align actuator selection and design with control targets and test results.
• Support the AI and behavior modeling teams by delivering clear, validated actuator models and control limitations based on real-world measurements.
• Build test protocols, mentor junior engineers on execution and analysis, and filter out non-essential tests with good engineering judgment.
• Use lab tools (e.g., oscilloscopes, encoders, current sensors) to verify dynamic behavior across integrated robot joints.
• Drive improvements in actuation repeatability, responsiveness, and overall system control through precise measurement and feedback.

• Experience in robotic or humanoid actuation systems.
• Familiarity with Python for scripting and data analysis.
• Exposure to motor driver electronics, EtherCAT networks, or real-time performance monitoring.
• Understanding of how sensor noise, latency, and actuation limits affect higher-level robotic behavior.
