About the company:
A robotics company developing autonomous systems for agricultural harvesting. We combine computer vision, algorithms, real-time software, and tight hardware integration in real-world environments.
Location: Migdal HaEmek
Position Summary
We are seeking a Control Engineer with strong theoretical and hands-on experience in advanced motion control for robotic systems. The role focuses on the design, implementation, and validation of high-performance control algorithms for flexible robotic arms operating in dynamic environments. The ideal candidate combines strong control theory fundamentals with practical system integration capabilities and embedded software experience.
Key Responsibilities
• Design and implement position, velocity, and trajectory control algorithms for flexible robotic
manipulators.
• Develop advanced state estimation frameworks using EKF/UKF techniques, including handling
delayed and asynchronous measurements.
• Architect and tune cascade control loops for high-bandwidth electromechanical systems.
• Analyze and mitigate structural vibrations through active damping and vibration suppression
techniques.
• Integrate and troubleshoot industrial motion systems and fieldbus communication protocols,
including IEC 61158 / CiA DS402 and Modbus.
• Develop simulation, validation, and testing environments for control algorithms.
• Implement real-time control software in C++ and Python.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, embedded, and software engineering teams.
• Maintain clean, documented, and version-controlled codebases using Git/GitHub workflows.
• Participate in field testing, debugging, and continuous system performance improvements.
Required Qualifications
• M.Sc.or Ph.D. in Control Engineering, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering,
or related field.
• Strong background in classical and modern control theory.
• Proven experience with:
1. Familiarity with motor drives, servo systems, and motion controllers.
2. Position and velocity control of robotic systems
3. EKF/UKF state estimation
4. Experience with industrial communication and motion-control protocols EC 61158 / DS402
and Modbus
• Strong programming skills in C++ and Python
• Hands-on: work directly with hardware, testing rigs, actuators, and sensors.
• Experience working in multidisciplinary teams.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with robotics frameworks and simulation tools.
• Experience with control of flexible structures
• Experience with Git/GitHub and collaborative software development practices.
