Controls Engineer, Robotics
Engineer and own the full robot control stack for data center robotics, including motion controls, functional safety architecture, fleet integration, and on-site commissioning to achieve high availability targets. Requires production experience with robotic controls, safety systems, and cross-domain debugging.
About the job
Role Scope
- Engineer controls for robotics in the data center: motion, safety, and integration with facility systems.
- Own the robot control stack integration: fleet management, task dispatch, and telemetry into the platform.
- Design the safety architecture: zones, interlocks, and functional safety for robots working among people and plant.
- Commission robotic systems at sites and hold them to availability targets.
Requirements
- Engineered controls for robotic or automated systems in production.
- Implemented functional safety around robots: risk assessments and safety PLCs.
- Integrated robot fleets with external systems.
- Commission on-site and debug across mechanical, electrical, and software.
- Hold availability numbers, not demos.
Nice-to-Haves
- ROS or fleet managers.
- AMR platforms.
- Robot safety standards (ISO 10218, ISO 3691-4).
- Data center environments.
