Job summary

Roam Robotics, based in San Francisco, seeks engineers to design and validate control strategies for a wear­able knee actuator used in real-world environments. You’ll work with the controls team to tune, simulate, and test deployed hardware from prototype to production.

Required is a BS in a relevant field and 3+ years in robotic control, with C++, Python, or MATLAB experience. The role is full-time and on-site in San Francisco, with a focus on rapid, rigorous development in a startup setting.

Qualifications

• BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or equivalent.
• 3+ years of experience developing control systems for robotic or electromechanical platforms.
• Strong foundation in dynamics and control theory.
• Experience building physics-based simulations (MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or equivalent).
• Proficiency in at least one of: C++, Python, MATLAB.
• On-site at the Roam San Francisco facility.

Responsibilities

• Implement, tune, and debug control systems on deployed hardware; take ownership of real-world control performance.
• Develop and apply simulation and model-based tools to evaluate control strategies and predict system behavior under varied operating conditions.
• Propose and iterate on control strategies informed by both simulation results and hardware feedback.
• Propose, evaluate, and iterate on control strategies using the simulation framework.
• Collaborate with the controls team and mechanical engineers to validate model predictions against hardware test data.
• Support hardware-in-the-loop testing and real-world validation during prototype and production phases.
• Document control architectures, model assumptions, and validation results clearly and completely.
