We're looking for a Robotics Control Intern passionate about redefining the foundation of labor through robotics. You'll help design and implement the control systems that make Physical AI practical and commercially viable. This isn't a narrow role - you'll thrive in a small, driven team where ownership, speed, and creativity matter. You'll get hands-on with robots, test control strategies in the real world, and contribute to the core intelligence behind machines that will change the world.
Company
We are a VC-backed startup that is assembling a world-class team to build general-purpose robots. While competitors pursue end-to-end integration, we are relentlessly focused on creating the best labor platform, akin to Apple and Nvidia, for others to build, monetize, and scale on.
Responsibilities
- Develop, test, and tune low-level and high-level control algorithms for humanoid robots.
- Implement real-time control strategies for locomotion, manipulation, and whole-body coordination.
- Collaborate with mechanical and AI engineers to integrate perception, planning, and control into a unified system.
- Run experiments on hardware to evaluate performance, debug complex behaviors, and improve reliability.
Qualifications
- Strong background in control theory, dynamics, and numerical methods.
- Experience with one or more of: robot locomotion, manipulation, trajectory optimizatioon, or whole-body control.
- Proficiency in Python, C++, and Rust for implementation.
- Bachelor's, Master's degree, or PhD in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field
Why Join Us?
You want real ownership and the chance to shape the future of Physical AI at a company that moves fast and executes with purpose. As an intern, you’ll gain unparalleled exposure to building humanoid robots from the ground up and contribute directly to systems that will define the next era of robotics.
