Company

hirify.global develops general-purpose robotic systems requiring advanced control, perception, and real-time software.

What you will do

• Design, implement, and optimize embedded control stacks for general-purpose robots.
• Develop motion-planning and trajectory-optimization algorithms for dynamic locomotion and manipulation.
• Build real-time state-estimation pipelines that fuse heterogeneous sensor data for pose, contact, and force sensing.
• Formulate and solve nonlinear model-predictive control, convex optimization, and trajectory-optimization problems.
• Build modular software frameworks supporting rapid iteration between simulation and physical hardware.
• Lead controller debugging, tuning, and validation directly on physical robots.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience designing, implementing, and deploying advanced control algorithms on real robotic products.
• Deep expertise in dynamics, kinematics, optimal control, and state estimation.
• Strong command of hardware interfaces, IMUs, force/torque sensors, motors, gearboxes, and drivers.
• Production-level mastery of C++ and experience building reliable, safety-critical software.
• Ability to bridge hardware, software, and algorithms to deliver robust end-to-end systems.
• Passion for control systems engineering and openness to deep learning, reinforcement learning, and vision-language-action models in general-purpose robotics.

Nice to have

• Experience shipping humanoid robots or whole-body control systems.
• Published work in control theory, state estimation, or mathematical optimization.
• Familiarity with GPU-based parallel computation for accelerating optimization.
