Electronics Engineer
We are always looking for more people to join the team.
Our robot will have a bit bigger muscles ''/
Have you seen capabilites of MIT mini cheetah. What do you think, how important was the actuator design for this? What if I told you that these technologies are nothing fancy, and are being used all over the place? Ok ok, it does require some work, and experiance ;- to do things right, but what doesn’t? So, not scared away yet? Check their actuator paper[1]. Or the Thesis from the Ben Ketz(yeap, one student who built this actuator!)
You know, at some point just working with regular PCBs gets boring?! How to make it interesting you ask? Ha, make it juuuucy :D Ok, basically powerful. You know, its physics baby. Devels advocate they say, how else to justify this torture !!.
What you will gain:
- Hands-on experience and in-depth understanding of Brushless Motors, and their control
- Best practices for PCB Design and Project Collaboration
- Experience building, prototyping
- Hacking electronic signals (via oscilloscope, etc.)
- Maybe ocasional chat with us ;-
Requirements from candidates:
- Knowledge of Electronics/Power electronics
- Experience with PCB design and soldering
- Knowledge of one of the popular PCB Design software
- Basic Matlab skills
- Proficiency in English C1, reading academic papers
- Plus are:
- Understanding how Motors work
- Familiarity with GIT
- Embedded system programming, knowledge of C language
- Working skills in Ubuntu operating system
To apply, you can send email (please use [LegRobotics] in the subject line) with your CV, and short motivation to:
