## Description

We are seeking a Systems Integration Engineer focused on actuators to join the Actuation team. This role works closely with mechanical, electrical, controls, and software teams across design and manufacturing to deliver robust, high-performance actuation systems for the humanoid robot., * Collaborate on the system-level deployment of actuators within the humanoid robot, including interfaces, behavior, and performance at the robot level.

 * Collaborate on calibration strategies and end-of-line bring-up. Define and execute design-validation and production-scale test plans for actuation subsystems, document results, and ensure quality and reliability targets are met.
 * Incorporate sensing and feedback systems, including position and torque, into real-time control architectures.
 * Develop real-time diagnostic algorithms to enable fall-back strategies.
 * Debug and analyze performance. Perform hands-on debugging of mechanical, electrical and software integration issues; use diagnostic tools to identify root causes and drive corrective actions
 * Tune controllers and characterize performance. Collaborate with controls engineers to synthesize and tune high-bandwidth controllers; conduct system identification and data analysis to characterize actuation performance
 * Design Validation Test Plans: Specify test plans for validation.
 * Bring up prototypes and first articles.
 * Develop automation and tooling. Build scripts, dashboards and automated test rigs to streamline repetitive testing, data collection and diagnostics
