The Role

Design and implement real-time, high-performance servo and motion control systems for multi-axis robots. Tasks include motor sizing, dynamic simulation, servo tuning and commissioning, designing an ARM-based numerical control kernel, trajectory planning, error compensation, and collaborating across teams to deliver production-quality embedded firmware and algorithms.

Summary Generated by Built In

Aeolus Robotics ( https://aeolusbot.com ) seeks skilled and motivated roboticists who are hands-on, technical, and passionate about making their robot dreams reality.

We are seeking a candidate with an MSc or PhD in Robotics (or equivalent experience) or a Computer Science degree with a strong background in mechatronics (Servo and motion control). You need good knowledge and experience with programming in C/C++ and Python while also understanding that you are working with active hardware.

The successful candidate will deliver high-quality code for robot execution and will be able to effectively communicate with software developers and roboticists in other teams to speed up the development of high-quality software.

Role and responsibilities:

• Motion control, including motor sizing and system dynamic simulation using Python, GNU Octave, etc.,

• Servo control and motor commissioning using time-domain and frequency-domain analysis. (FFT, Bode plot, PID, loop-shaping, etc.),

• Design the numerical control kernel of a real-time ARM-based multi-axis motion controller,

• Real-time numerical control kernel architecture,

• On-line Jerk-limited motion profile generator,

• Multi-axis trajectory planning,

• Volumetric error compensation,

• Electronic camming, gearing,

• Robot kinematics.

Job Requirements:

• Firm understanding of motion control systems, closed-loop feedback operation, servo loop tuning, actuation systems, and feedback devices.

• Develop high-performance motion systems for high precision and high-speed service robots.

• Optimize motion control system in hardware and firmware to improve system dynamic performance.

• Define motion control hardware and software function interface and requirements for system development and integration.

• Motion control system issue troubleshooting and diagnosis experience with strong control engineering fundamentals in classic and modern methodologies.

• Experience with high-precision equipment motion control (robotic development background preferred).

• Proficient with Python and C/C++.

• Both hands-on lab experience and theoretical analysis of design and troubleshooting problems.

• Experience with technical writing of requirements, design specifications, and test plans.

• Very good in English.
