  • Ensure robust implementation of real-time control systems on RTOS/Linux platforms.
  • Partner with hardware leaders (mechanical, electrical, embedded) to deliver seamless hardware-software integration (servo drives, encoders, sensors, safety controllers).
  • Champion compliance with global robotics safety standards (ISO 10218, IEC 61508, ISO 13849).
  • Guide system-level validation through simulation and HIL testing (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Simulink, etc.).
  • Drive collaborations with AI/ML teams for intelligent, perception-driven motion control.
  • Represent the motion control function in executive strategy discussions and align with organizational goals.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s/Master’s/Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical/Electronics, or related field.
  • 12+ years of experience in robotics/motion control software, including 5+ years in leadership/architect roles.
  • Proven expertise in control theory, robotics algorithms, and real-time motion systems.
  • Proficiency in C/C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Hands-on with ROS/ROS2, EtherCAT, CANopen, or similar real-time frameworks.
  • Deep knowledge of RTOS/Linux RT environments.
  • Strong background in safety standards, system resilience, and fault-tolerant design.
  • Exceptional leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

Good to Have

  • Experience with industrial automation, cobots, or autonomous mobile robots.
  • Exposure to AI/ML for motion optimization.
  • Familiarity with simulation ecosystems such as Webots, dSPACE, or Open Robotics frameworks.

What We Offer

  • A leadership platform to shape the future of robotics software.
  • Collaborative and innovation-driven R&D environment.
