Mechatronics Controls Engineer: our view in 3 lines...
- The Role:This role suits an engineer who designs, models and tests control systems for electro-mechanical products that rely on sensors.
- The Person:The person will develop sensor calibration, signal processing, estimation and controls algorithms, model and simulate systems, implement them on embedded hardware, and test them in the real world.
- Requirements:The ideal candidate has an MS in Engineering, Robotics, or CS, 8+ years of related experience, a deep understanding of kinematics, dynamics and equations of motion, and proficiency in C/C++ and Python or MATLAB.
About the role
One of Apple’s R&D groups is seeking a Mechatronics Controls Engineer to develop, prototype, and validate complex, next-generation electro-mechanical-sensor driven systems. This engineer will develop custom sensor calibration, signal processing, estimation, and controls algorithms for a host of product concepts. Typical work includes real-world modeling, simulation, machine learned and traditional algorithms, embedded implementation, and testing in the real world. We are looking for a hands-on creative individual eager to push performance boundaries on cutting-edge hardware.
Description
In this role you will partner with other mechanical, electrical, control, embedded FW, and AIML resources to develop end-to-end mechatronics experiences.
Minimum Qualifications
MS in Engineering, Robotics, or CS
8+ years of related experience and skilled in the of development, theory, design, modeling, and implementation of control systems
Deep understanding of kinematics, dynamics and equations of motion for dynamic systems.
Experience in hardware/software integration and physical system debugging
Proficient in C/C++ and Python or MATLAB
Experience with modern software development workflows, version control (e.g., Git), and genAI developer productivity tools (e.g., Claude)
Preferred Qualifications
PhD in Engineering, Robotics or CS
Strong knowledge in classical/modern control theory, robotics, and digital signal processing
Experience with rotary sensing (encoders), inertial measurement systems, and inertial state propagation
