Control Engineer (Low-level) – Vancouver

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.
