Sr Staff System Architect

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced System Architect to lead the definition and development of next-generation robotic platforms, with a primary focus on motion systems, motor control strategies, and overall robotic system architecture.

In this role, you will bridge motor drive technology, control algorithms, and system-level integration to enable robots that are precise, safe, efficient, and scalable across industrial, service, and humanoid domains.

Key Responsibilities

Motion & Motor Control

• Architect robotic actuation systems including motors, drives, encoders, and sensors.
• Define motor control strategies for PMSM, BLDC, induction, and stepper motors to achieve precision, efficiency, and robustness.
• Develop control architectures for torque, velocity, and position control, including multi-axis coordination.
• Ensure real-time embedded implementations (MCUs, DSPs, FPGAs) meet safety and latency requirements.
• Deliver reference designs, SRDs, PoCs, and evaluation kits for robotic motion platforms.

System Architecture

• Define end-to-end robotic architectures, integrating motion, sensing, compute, and safety.
• Conduct system-level modeling and simulation (mechanical dynamics, thermal, magnetic, electrical).
• Specify HW/SW partitioning and key interfaces across subsystems.
• Ensure compliance with functional safety and reliability standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO 13849).
• Collaborate with perception/AI teams to ensure balanced integration between intelligence and actuation layers.

Collaboration & Strategy

• Align with product lines, silicon teams, and application engineers to ensure optimized system solutions.
• Track industry trends in robotics (humanoids, cobots, service robots, exoskeletons) to guide product roadmaps.
• Partner with universities, startups, and ecosystem players on innovative motion and control architectures.
