Whole-Body Robotics Control Engineer for Exoskeletons

Wandercraft; Paris; Sur place; EUR 70 000 - 100 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Wandercraft in Paris seeks a highly skilled control engineer to develop whole-body control algorithms for floating-base robots and exoskeletons, from mathematical formulation to deployment on real hardware.

You will tackle locomotion, manipulation, and trajectory optimization with MPC/NMPC and learning-based approaches when relevant, emphasizing robustness and real-time performance. Collaboration with software, mechanical, electronics, perception and other teams is required.

Qualifications

• Diploma: Master’s or PhD degree in Robotics, Controls, Optimization, Applied mathematics, or related scientific field.
• Hands-on experience with robotics, control, motion generation, trajectory optimization or related algorithmic development through industry, research or significant academic projects.
• Proficiency in programming (C++/Python) and working with robotics data.

Responsabilités

• Develop whole-body control algorithms for floating-base robots.
• Design control strategies using linear and nonlinear control, MPC and NMPC.
• Develop online and offline trajectory optimization and motion generation algorithms.
• Design and improve whole-body trajectory tracking for locomotion and manipulation.
• Model robot dynamics, contacts and interactions with the environment.
• Develop or integrate state-estimation algorithms using sensor data.
• Explore learning-based approaches, including reinforcement learning, when relevant.
• Write efficient, maintainable software in C++ and Python.
• Test, debug and validate algorithms directly on exoskeletons and humanoid robots.
• Contribute to the architecture and long-term technical direction of the control stack.
