Job description

Robotics Motion Control Engineer (C++)

Grenoble, France

Freelance or permanent – depending on preference

Hybrid working available

We’re looking for an experienced engineer to join a robotics organisation that designs and builds advanced robotic systems for high-precision motion and automation. The role focuses on motor control and robotic motion software, working in C++ to implement, tune, and test high-performance control systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement and tune BLDC motor position control loops (servo, FOC)
• Develop and maintain C++ real-time control software
• Build and validate robotic kinematic models (forward & inverse)
• Perform advanced 3D numeric computations (linear algebra, Jacobians, quaternions)

Essential Skills

• Strong knowledge of servo control for BLDC motors
• Solid C++ (14/17) development in real-time environments
• Expertise in robot modeling and inverse kinematics
• Confident in mathematics and numerical methods for robotics

Desirable

• Linux RT (PREEMPT_RT, Xenomai)
• EtherCAT (SOEM, IgH, Beckhoff)
• Comfortable doing light wiring/debug at the bench
• Professional French is an advantage

If you're excited by the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology in a collaborative and agile environment, apply now or reach out directly for a confidential discussion.
