Senior Robotics Controls Engineer

Join Mytra's robotics team as a Senior Robotics Controls Engineer. In this role, you will architect and implement advanced motion control systems for next-generation warehouse automation. You will work across mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines to push the boundaries of warehouse robotics. Your responsibilities will include designing and integrating communication architectures, developing and tuning control algorithms, leading sensor fusion and localization efforts, and delivering high-quality, maintainable code in C++ and Python.

• Architect and implement advanced motion control systems that integrate sensing, perception, and actuation into reliable, high-performance robotic platforms.
• Design and integrate communication architectures for distributed controllers, sensors, and actuators, including pub/sub messaging frameworks.
• Develop, simulate, and tune control algorithms for position, velocity, torque, and force control, incorporating model-based techniques and Kalman filter–based state estimation.
• Demonstrated experience in approaching challenges with a physics-based, first-principles mindset to develop innovative solutions
• BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or related field
• Strong background in control theory, kinematics, dynamics, and system modeling for electromechanical systems
• Familiarity with CAN, pub/sub communication frameworks, distributed control architectures, and safety-critical system design standards (ISO 13849, IEC 61508)
• Ability to debug and optimize complex electromechanical systems with limited telemetry, using both software and hardware tools
• Demonstrated ability to balance control system complexity with simplicity, elegance, and robustness in production implementations
• Proficiency in C/C++ and/or Python for embedded and high-level control software
• Experience with motor control (BLDC, stepper, servo), sensor integration (eg. encoders, IMUs, cameras), and real-time operating systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, RT Linux, Zephyr)
