About the Company Our client is a cutting-edge robotics company developing next-generation humanoid and intelligent automation systems. Their mission is to advance human capability and efficiency through safe, scalable, and high-performance robotic platforms that integrate seamlessly into industrial and commercial environments.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on real robotic hardware and develop the systems that enable intuitive, precise, and reliable teleoperation and control — contributing to one of the most technically ambitious robotics projects in the world.
The Role As a Software Control & Teleoperation Engineer, you’ll be responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing real-time control systems that bridge human operators with robotic systems. You’ll work at the intersection of software, hardware, and human interaction, ensuring responsive, safe, and intuitive teleoperation of advanced robotic platforms.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop real-time teleoperation control algorithms including inverse kinematics and remote trajectory generation.
- Design and implement low-latency control pipelines for highly responsive operation.
- Create semi-autonomous control features blending human input with AI assistance for improved precision and ergonomics.
- Integrate and fuse sensor data to build intuitive visualization tools for remote operation.
- Implement robust fail-safe mechanisms (e-stop protocols, signal loss recovery, and fault handling).
- Conduct system stress and performance testing to ensure high reliability.
- Collaborate with cross-functional control, perception, and hardware teams to integrate teleoperation features into the broader robotic system.
- 3+ years of experience in robot control, teleoperation, or real-time systems.
- Strong proficiency in C++ and Python for control software development.
- Solid understanding of robot kinematics, dynamics, and motion control.
- Experience working directly with robotic hardware in a lab or production setting.
- Familiarity with ROS 2 and real-time communication protocols.
- Knowledge of sensor fusion and visualization for remote or semi-autonomous control.
- Experience designing robust and modular software architectures.
- Strong debugging and system optimization skills.
- Experience working with humanoid or dexterous robotic systems.
- Familiarity with haptic feedback and user-interface integration.
- Competitive salary and flexible working arrangements.
- 23 days paid vacation per year (or regionally equivalent).
- Dynamic startup-style culture emphasizing innovation and autonomy.
- Opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology across AI, robotics, and real-time control domains.
