Motion Control Engineer - Actuator Control Algorithms执行器控制算法
At Mentee Robotics, we are redefining humanoid automation with an AI-first approach - combining perception, reasoning, and dexterous manipulation into fully autonomous systems that continuously learn and adapt. 在 Mentee Robotics,我们以 AI 优先的理念重新定义人形机器人自动化——将感知、推理与灵巧操作融合为能够持续学习与自适应的全自主系统。 We are now expanding with a new robotics Engineering Center in China, working hand-in-hand with our engineering teams in headquarters. Its mission: to rapidly develop our next-generation full-size humanoid and bring it to life - a walking, working platform that becomes the foundation of our next generation of products. This is a small, senior, hands-on team where speed of iteration is the core value. 我们正在中国设立全新的机器人工程中心,与总部的工程团队紧密协作。其使命是:快速研发我们下一代全尺寸人形机器人并使其落地——一个能行走、能工作的平台,成为我们下一代产品的基础。这是一支精干、资深、亲力亲为的团队,迭代速度是其核心价值。 We are looking for a Motion Control Engineer to own the control algorithms of every joint in our humanoid - jointly with the embedded team, who implement your designs on the Motor Controller PCB. This is pure actuator control: FOC, loop design, estimation, and compensation. Whole-body behavior lives in learned policies; your job is to make every joint execute its commands perfectly. 我们正在寻找一位运动控制工程师,负责我们人形机器人每个关节的控制算法——与嵌入式团队共同协作,由其在电机控制器 PCBA 上实现你的设计。这是纯粹的执行器控制:FOC、环路设计、估计与补偿。全身行为由学习得到的策略承载;你的职责是让每个关节完美执行其指令。
