Our Controls Engineer will contribute at a very senior level to the development of Hansen’s complex tele-robotic systems. Responsibilities will include the development and maintenance of controls, kinematics, and robotics algorithms. Additional responsibilities include systems analysis, design, and testing activities at the system level as well as at the component level. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated the ability to participate at both the architectural level and at the detail level as a hands-on contributor. The candidate must have the ability to make sound technical decisions, prioritize project deadlines, and follow up with critical items.
