Controls Engineer – Our Client (Stealth Robotics Startup)

About Our Client

Our client is a fast-growing robotics company developing an affordable, next-generation wheeled humanoid platform designed to take on high-volume, physically demanding tasks across manufacturing and logistics. Their mission is to push robotics into the real world at scale automating the repetitive, messy, and often unpleasant work that slows companies down and drains human time.

Backed by top-tier investors and already lined up with significant revenue opportunities pending successful deployments next year, they’re building a business with strong market pull, rapid iteration cycles, and a clear path to scale.

How Their System Works

The engineering team comes from some of the most well-known robotics and automotive programs in the world. They design and manufacture the full system in-house, prioritizing high performance, low inertia, and cost-efficient production.

A major differentiator is their advanced real-time teleoperation infrastructure. Remote operators can control robots with near human-level responsiveness, unlocking positive unit economics today while feeding a powerful human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning engine. This setup allows them to gather vast amounts of high-quality demonstrations fuel for the large‑scale proprietary dataset they’re building.

Core Principles

  • Proprietary robotics data will be the backbone of the next wave of AI‑native robotics companies.
  • Engineering value is measured by how effectively it solves real customer pain not by optimizing internal benchmarks for their own sake.
  • Hard work, intensity, and ownership are fundamental to the company’s DNA and are rewarded accordingly.

What They’re Looking For

Our client is hiring Controls Engineers who want to shape a frontier robotics product from day one. It’s a small, highly capable team meaning meaningful equity, broad ownership, and the chance to directly influence the system architecture.

You’d be a strong fit if :

  • You’ve worked on real hardware controls - not just simulation. (Think precision systems, high‑performance actuators, or dynamic robots.)
  • You naturally think at the system level timing, sensing, mechanical stiffness, embedded constraints, everything.
  • You’re fluent in model predictive control, nonlinear optimization, and sensor fusion approaches.
  • You write reliable, maintainable software that others can depend on.
  • You’re comfortable working primarily in C++, with Python as a prototyping tool.
  • You prefer minimal middleware and are happy working outside ROS.
  • This is an environment with real customers, working hardware, and strong unit economics while still early enough that there’s massive upside as the product and company scale.

    Why Join

    This is a rare chance to help build a category‑defining robotics company from the ground up. You’ll be working on technology that pushes boundaries and sets new expectations for what real‑world robotics can do.
