is seeking a Senior Controls Engineer - Mechatronics to join our elite Precision Robotics R&D team in Milpitas, CA. This role is the technical cornerstone for developing the integrated controls and mechatronic architecture of our next-generation Special Purpose Machines (SPM) for manufacturing custom-made prosthetics.
As an engineer with 6+ years of experience, you will bridge the gap between high-level robotic theory and physical machine execution, responsible for building the "nervous system" of our machines. You will integrate actuators, sensors, and motion control into a cohesive, high-performance architecture. This is a hybrid role, where you will drive innovation from initial concept and rapid prototyping through to production-ready systems.

Будет плюсом

Deep expertise with high-performance motion controllers (e.g., Beckhoff/TwinCAT, ACS, Elmo).
Experience integrating advanced vision-guided robotics, AOI (Automated Optical Inspection), and force-feedback/torque-verification systems.
Demonstrated experience with safety standards such as ISO 10218 (Industrial) and ISO/TS 15066 (Collaborative) or ISO 13482.
Proficiency in performing ROI/CAPEX analysis and managing full-scale factory deployments.
Familiarity with CAD (e.g. Creo/SolidWorks/Onshape) for tooling design and GD&T principles.
Req ID: J-1239
