Robotics Modeling & Simulation Design Engineer, Optimus

What to Expect The Optimus team designs and builds humanoid bi-pedal robots to automate repetitive tasks and wheeled robots for manufacturing and autonomous logistics. The team joins mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and manufacturing engineering disciplines in a highly collaborative team. You will work on improving the robot's behavior in the real world and reflecting those capabilities in a simulation engine for fastiteration. The code you will write will at term run in thousands of humanoid robots in real world situations and will therefore be held to high quality standards.

Knowledge in control systems including, spring loaded inverted pendulum, zero momentum control, model predictive control, Motor controls, etc. Modeling knowledge in inverse kinematics, inverse/forward dynamics, impedance control, torque control, etc. Basic design of electric motors, power electronics and control circuits Familiar with gear reduction mechanisms including planetary, belt drives, harmonics drives, magnetic gears, etc. Excellent programming skills in Python, C++, Matlab/Simulink
