Controls Engineer - Actuation

📋 Description

• Develop and maintain high-fidelity actuator models in simulation, capturing the physical behaviors
• Design, tune, and deploy actuator-level control — closed-loop torque and current control and the
• Design and run hardware test campaigns to characterize actuator behavior and extract the parameters
• Apply system identification to extract trustworthy physical models from experimental data, and use
• Quantitatively validate sim-to-real fidelity — for both the models and the controllers — using
• Build and maintain robust Python/C++ tooling for experiment automation, model extraction

🎯 Requirements

• Strong C++, including comfort extending a simulator or physics-engine codebase — not just consuming
• Deep grounding in motor electromechanics and classical control — closed-loop torque/current
• Hands-on actuator or servo control on real hardware: designing, tuning, and validating low-level
• Hands-on system identification and modeling: structured experiment design and model fitting from
• Proficiency in Python (test automation, data analysis, tooling) and a track record shipping
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with controls engineers — focused on how your models and
