Control System Engineer (m/f/d)

München
Full-time
Permanent employee

Your role

You’ll shape how our robots move, sense, and respond, turning control theory into real-world performance

You’ll push existing products further and bring new prototypes to life with both state-of-the-art and experimental methods. In practice, that means: 
  • Exploring advanced algorithms, controllers, calibration, digital signal processing and finding what actually works on hardware
  • Implementing those algorithms in C++ and Python (and Matlab/Simulink when it fits)
  • Designing and running test benches that reveal true system performance
  • Building software for data acquisition and processing
  • Identifying dynamic system properties
  • Connecting the stack end to end: embedded firmware, middleware, backends, and analysis platforms
  • Hunting down and fixing interoperability issues across systems and devices

Your experience and qualifications

  • 3+ years as a control system engineer or mathematician
  • 3+ years in embedded software development, building scalable, high-performance systems
  • Strong grounding in control theory, advanced control algorithms, and DSP
  • Solid proficiency in C++, Python, and Matlab
  • Enough electrical and mechanical fluency to read schematics and reason about sensors and components
  • Working knowledge of electric motors and motor control
  • Familiarity with communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, EtherCAT, TCP/IP)
  • Comfort with professional tooling (git, GitLab, Confluence, JIRA, etc.)
  • Experience with robotic systems is a strong plus
