Description de poste

Control Engineer (Low-level) – Vancouver

Humanoid is the first AI and robotics company in the UK, creating the world’s most advanced, reliable, commercially scalable, and safe humanoid robots. Our first humanoid robot HMND 01 is a next-gen labour automation unit, providing highly efficient services across various use cases, starting with industrial applications.

About The Role

We are looking for a Senior Control Engineer to join our Control Team in Vancouver , focusing on low-level control development for robotic actuation systems. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and validating joint- and actuator-level controllers that deliver high precision, responsiveness, and safety for complex robotic mechanisms.

The ideal candidate has a solid background in control theory, experience with BLDC motor control, and strong software engineering skills in C++. You will work closely with other control and hardware engineers to model, tune, and optimize the behavior of real robots and their subsystems (i.e. limbs and end-effectors).

What You’ll Do

Low-level Control Development

Design, tune, and implement actuator-level control loops for BLDC motors.
Develop and validate joint-space control loops such as impedance, admittance for multi-DoF systems in ROS2 / ROS2 Control
Work with embedded and communication layers (e.g., EtherCAT, CAN) to ensure deterministic timing and safety.
Apply modern control theory (PID, feedforward, observers, and state feedback) to achieve stability, performance, and robustness.
Implement safety and fault-handling mechanisms to ensure reliable operation under dynamic conditions.

Mechanism Modeling & System Identification

Build accurate models of actuators, transmissions, and mechanisms to support control design and simulation.

Perform system identification and parameter estimation to improve model fidelity and controller performance.

Analyze system behavior using both analytical and experimental methods to refine controller design.

Software Development & Integration

Develop high-performance C++ code for real-time control and diagnostics.

Develop robotic applications in ROS2 Control

Work closely with other control layers to ensure seamless integration between low-level and mid-level control systems.

Contribute to real-time frameworks and infrastructure for deployment and testing of control algorithms.

Collaboration & Cross-Disciplinary Work

Collaborate with mechanical, electronics, and control engineers across sites to define and validate actuation system requirements.

Participate in hardware bring-up, calibration, and performance testing on physical systems.

Support the integration of new actuators and sensor configurations into the control stack.

What We’re Looking For

M.S. or Ph.D. in Control Engineering, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

5+ years of experience in control system design and implementation for robotic or mechatronic systems.

Strong foundation in control theory (linear and nonlinear control, system stability, observers, and state estimation).

Proven experience with BLDC motor control, including commutation, current control, and torque optimization.

Proficiency in ROS2 Control and C++ for real-time or embedded control software.

Experience in modeling and simulation of dynamic systems.

Track record of hands-on controller tuning and validation on hardware.

Nice to Have

Experience with multi-DoF robotic systems or robotic hands and manipulators.

Familiarity with system identification tools and simulation environments (e.g., MATLAB / Simulink, MuJoCo, Gazebo).

Experience with real-time communication protocols (CAN, EtherCAT) and RTOS environments.

Knowledge of sensing and calibration techniques (encoders, torque sensors, current sensors).

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a focus on control stability and performance.

What We Offer

Competitive salary plus participation in our Stock Option Plan

Paid vacation with adjustments based on your location to comply with local labor laws

Private Insurance plan

Travel opportunities to our London and Boston offices

Office perks : free lunches

Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives

Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics

Startup culture prioritising speed, transparency, and minimal bureaucracy.
