Medior Controls Engineer

About the role

Medior Controls Engineer at REVEL, an AI robotics company developing physical intelligence for general‑purpose humanoid robots. The on‑site position in Prague focuses on low‑level control of GENESIS arms and hands, turning human force and intent captured by the Neural Gambit wearable into robot actions.

Key responsibilities

• Design, implement, and tune control algorithms (PID, cascaded loops, LQR, MPC, nonlinear control) for real robotic hardware.
• Model robot dynamics and kinematics to inform controller design and validate performance against real‑world behavior.
• Transfer controllers from simulation to physical hardware, mitigating sim‑to‑real gaps.
• Debug control instability, timing/latency issues, and hardware‑software integration problems end‑to‑end.
• Design and tune state estimation and sensor‑fusion pipelines for closed‑loop control.
• Collaborate with software, mechanical, and electrical engineers to integrate control systems into the broader robot stack.

Required profile

• 3+ years of professional experience in robotics control.
• Deep expertise in control theory (PID, state‑space, LQR, MPC, nonlinear control) and ability to select the appropriate approach.
• Proven experience designing and tuning controllers for real robotic hardware, including force control.
• Strong understanding of robot dynamics, kinematics, and contact dynamics.
• Professional experience with ROS/ROS2 and real‑time or near‑real‑time control loops on embedded or industrial hardware.

Required skills

• C++
• Python
• ROS and ROS2
• PID, LQR, MPC, nonlinear control algorithms
• State estimation and sensor fusion (Kalman filter, EKF, UKF)
• Force control
• Robot dynamics and kinematics modeling
• Real‑time control loops

What we offer

• Unlimited Paid Time Off and flexible working time.
• On‑site work in Prague with visa sponsorship and relocation assistance.
• Complimentary lunch, coffee, snacks and drinks every day.
• Top‑spec GPU workstation, cluster access, and hands‑on time with the robots.
• Conference budget and opportunity to publish open‑source contributions.
