About the role
- We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain onboard control software including control loops, state estimation, and actuator interfaces
- Implement and tune motion planning and control systems - including whole-body control, trajectory optimization, or model predictive control
- Collaborate with the AI/ML team to integrate learned control policies onto real hardware reliably and efficiently
- Support bring-up and field testing of new hardware revisions
- We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots.
- Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design.
- You'll own the software that connects hardware to behavior - from low-level control loops and actuator interfaces to state estimation and real-world deployment.
Requirements
- 1+ years of experience building control software for robotic systems or a closely related field
- Hands-on experience with core robotics control: motion planning, control loops, state estimation, or actuator interfaces
Nice to have
- Experience with ROS/ROS2 or similar robotics middleware in production or research contexts
- Ability to debug across the full stack - from driver-level issues to control behavior on live hardware
- Comfort working directly with physical hardware in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
- Background in whole-body control, trajectory optimization, or model predictive control
- Familiarity with humanoid or legged robot platforms and the unique modeling challenges they present
- Exposure to learned perception or control models and their integration into real-time robot stacks
- Prior work on early-stage hardware programs (prototype or pre-production robots)
- Your code runs on the robot - the control software you write has a direct, physical impact on what our humanoids can do in the real world
Company info
- What We're Looking For
- At Rhoda AI, we're building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots.
- We're looking for a Robot Control Engineer to develop and maintain the control systems that run on our humanoid robots.
