Humanoid Locomotion Specialist

About Humanoid Robotics

Summon is building cost-competitive, reliable, and capable humanoids to address labor shortages. We drive end-to-end development of humanoid hardware and software, from core mechanical design to advanced locomotion, perception, teleoperation, and automation systems.

We seek a robotics engineer with strong Isaac Sim and hardware-software deployment expertise to design, implement, and test locomotion strategies for humanoid and wheeled bipeds platforms.

• Develop balance, gait generation, and stability control algorithms for humanoid robots.
• Specialize in one of two tracks: Optimal control methods or Reinforcement learning approaches in Isaac Sim, focusing on closing the sim-to-real gap.
• Collaborate with the mechanical and electronics team to integrate locomotion into the full humanoid system.

• Strong foundation in either control theory, reinforcement learning, or optimal control.
• Hands-on experience with Isaac Sim and Python programming language.
• Familiarity with robotics simulation tools, physics engines, or related frameworks.
• (Preferred) Ability to transfer algorithms from simulation to real hardware.
