Robotics & Mechatronics Engineer

Role Overview

The ideal Robotics & Mechatronics Engineer at Precision AI is someone who can model, simulate, and tune dynamic systems, and thenvalidatethem in the real world.You’llwork in a multidisciplinary environment alongside embedded, mechanical, GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control), and software engineers, developing control strategies that directlyimpactUAV stability, safety, and spray performance from concept through flight testing.

Ifyou’reexcited to dive deep into system dynamics without ego, and you enjoy turning theory into working, stable behavior on a real platform, this role will feel like home. You bring strong fundamentals in control theory, comfort with modeling and stability analysis, and the grit to iterate through tests until the system converges.

You’llspend your days building models, designing PID control loops, running simulations, and analyzing stability (including frequency-domain methods like Bode plots) to improve platform behavior. Some daysyou’llbe tuning in simulation; other daysyou’llbe in the field, adjusting parameters andvalidatingperformance under agricultural shock and vibration.

At Precision AI, we move fast and build things that matter. If you want to own one of the highest-leverage technical risks on the program and help deliver reliable autonomy in real farm conditions,we’dlove to meet you.

This role is hybrid in Calgary due to the hands-on nature of testing, integration, and UAV flight verification and validation.

Key Responsibilities

Control System Design & Tuning

• Design and tune PID control loops for stability, responsiveness, and robustness across flight conditions.
• Define controlobjectivesand performance metrics tied to safety and spray accuracy.
• Develop control logic that accounts for real-world disturbances, saturation, delays, and sensor noise.
• Support integration of control algorithms into embedded implementations in partnership with firmware teams.
