At
Mentee Robotics
, we are redefining humanoid automation by integrating cutting-edge AI with real-world mechanical intelligence. Our flagship product,
Menteebot v3.1
, is a fully autonomous humanoid robot built to operate in dynamic industrial and commercial environments — learning and adapting as it moves.
We’re now expanding our technical team with a
Motion Control Tech Lead
a senior expert who will define how our robot moves, performs, and interacts with its environment at the actuator level.
Responsibilities:
Lead the
definition and validation of motor control methodologies
, spanning BLDC/PMSM motors, harmonic and planetary gears, and advanced drivers.
Design and execute structured tests to characterize performance — torque, speed, resolution, responsiveness, thermal behavior, and more.
Collaborate with embedded and control teams to guide the implementation and tuning of FOC, PID, and impedance control loops.
Requirements:
Advantages:
Experience in
robotic or humanoid actuation
systems.
Familiarity with
Python
for scripting and data analysis.
Exposure to
motor driver electronics
, EtherCAT networks, or real-time performance monitoring.
Understanding of how
sensor noise
,
latency
, and
actuation limits
affect higher-level robotic behavior.
Interface with mechanical and electrical teams to align actuator selection and design with control targets and test results.
Support the AI and behavior modeling teams by delivering clear, validated actuator models and control limitations based on real-world measurements.
Build test protocols, mentor junior engineers on execution and analysis, and filter out non-essential tests with good engineering judgment.
Use lab tools (e.g., oscilloscopes, encoders, current sensors) to verify dynamic behavior across integrated robot joints.
Drive improvements in actuation repeatability, responsiveness, and overall system control through precise measurement and feedback.
B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical, Mechanical, or Control Engineering (or equivalent experience).
8+years of experience
in motor control systems, robotics performance testing, or motion system integration.
Deep hands-on experience with
FOC
,
PID
, and
impedance control
for
BLDC/PMSM motors
.
Familiarity with
harmonic
and
planetary gear systems
and how they impact control and sensing.
Proven ability to define and lead
performance test plans
from lab setup to interpretation.
Skilled in collaborating across domains — embedded software, electronics, mechanical, and AI/control teams.
Comfortable using lab tools to evaluate dynamic system behavior under load and in closed-loop motion.
