What are the responsibilities and job description for the Humanoid Locomotion Control Engineer position at Persona AI Inc?
Persona AI is developing and commercializing a multi-purpose humanoid robot for manufacturing and other industries. Persona and its staff have a long history in humanoid research and development and are positioned to be a commercial leader in bringing these capable machines to market.
If you're passionate about cutting-edge technology and want to be part of a world-class team that's driving the future of manufacturing and humanoids, we'd love to hear from you.
We're looking for an experienced Humanoid Locomotion Control Engineer to collaboratively develop and implement locomotion control algorithms using traditional and machine learning control techniques, and applying sensor fusion, state estimation, and other robotics tools.
In addition to aptitude and energy, we are primarily interested in candidates with real-world experience in developing bipedal walking controllers.
As one of the inaugural Locomotion Control Engineers at Persona, you will have an incredible opportunity to get in at the beginning to shape the design and development of Persona's humanoid robot.
How will you be part of the team?
- Develop and implement locomotion control algorithms for bipedal walking, including balance control, gait planning, and reactive adaptation.
- Design and optimize real-time controllers for dynamic stability, disturbance rejection and energy efficiency.
- Integrate sensor feedback (IMUs, force / torque sensors, cameras, etc.) for state estimation and closed-loop control.
- Simulate, test and validate walking controllers in both simulation and real-world environments.
- Collaborate with hardware, perception and planning teams to refine system performance and robustness.
- Contribute to the development of whole-body control strategies for humanoid motion.
What does an ideal background look like?
What are additional skills that would make a candidate stand out?
Persona AI embraces diversity and equal opportunity in a serious way. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We believe the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
