Job Description

We're making the world a more walkable place by developing innovative personal mobility solutions. Our goal is to empower people to choose walking over sitting in traffic. We believe that by giving people the ability to move more efficiently, we can create a better future for everyone.

As a Gait Control Engineer, you will play a critical role in advancing the world's fastest shoes. You will design, prototype, and test reliable and innovative hardware to help us achieve our mission. We're looking for an engineer who is ready to push the boundaries of what's possible and make the impossible a reality.

Our team is working on developing the next generation of Moonwalkers, and we need someone with real-world experience in developing bipedal locomotion controllers and an eye for detail. You will work closely with our mechanical, electronics, and software teams to ensure that our products are safe, efficient, and reliable.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and lead the development of the gait control algorithm using machine learning, sensor fusion, and bipedal locomotion control.
  • Prototype novel algorithms in simulation and evaluate them on the actual prototype.
  • Develop control strategies for various poses and gait, implement and evaluate the control system onto the real-world machine.
  • Solve complex problems through efficient models that run on low-cost embedded systems with limited computational resources.
  • Ensure safe and intuitive response of Shift shoes at all times.
  • Determine how to best design for performance requirements and system safety.
  • Develop production-quality embedded code with the firmware team and own your algorithms from design to production.

Requirements:

  • At least 2 years of research and development experience in bipedal locomotion, actuated prosthetics, or humanoid robotics, and published papers in internationally recognized conferences or journals.
  • Expertise in control systems, state estimation, multibody dynamics, or optimization.
  • Proficient with Matlab, Python, or other prototyping languages.
  • Demonstrated excellence in real-time control and processing using C and C++.
  • Familiar with Matlab Simulink or physical model simulation such as Mujuco.
  • Experience developing, debugging, and optimizing real-time controls on highly dynamic machines.
  • Strong intuition for physical movement in machines, and insight into the physics of motion.
  • Familiar with RTOS and Cortex-based embedded solutions is a plus.

Benefits:

  • Opportunities for participation in our Employee Options programs.
  • 401K retirement plan.
  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Sick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions), and Paid Holidays.
  • Massive Growth Opportunities and a long-term career.
  • Casual and comfortable work environment.
