Controls Engineer

About the Company

Reflex Robotics is building affordable wheeled humanoid robots to automate dangerous and repetitive tasks in manufacturing and logistics. Backed by Khosla Ventures, our team consists of engineers who previously led development at Boston Dynamics and Tesla. We are focused on building a high-performance, low-cost robotics platform and a proprietary data engine to train next-generation AI systems.

Responsibilities

• Control the motion of real-world hardware in manufacturing and logistics environments
• Develop and implement robust control algorithms for high-performance, low-inertia robots
• Work across the system stack, including time-sync between processors and mechanical stiffness properties
• Write robust, production-grade code that ensures long-term system reliability

Requirements

• Proven experience controlling real-world hardware (not just simulation)
• Strong understanding of model predictive control (MPC), nonlinear optimization, and sensor fusion strategies
• Proficiency in C++ for production code
• Experience with Python for prototyping
• Ability to work in a high-ownership, fast-paced startup environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-precision control (e.g., nanometer-scale) or complex dynamic systems (e.g., quadrupeds)
• A portfolio of personal or professional robotics projects
