Redefining Robotic Intelligence. Backed by Khosla.
About the role
Develop safety requirements for Robot Stability through analysis, empirical derivation, and testing Derive requirements for performance and stability of advanced control algorithms for whole-body stability, balance, and posture regulation in humanoid platforms
What they're looking for
- MS or PhD in Robotics, Control Systems, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
- Strong background in dynamics, kinematics, and control theory
- Experience with humanoid or legged robot control systems
- Proficiency in Python for data analysis
- Hands-on experience with simulation tools (e.g., MuJoCo, Gazebo, Isaac Sim)
- Familiarity with state estimation techniques (e.g., Kalman filters, sensor fusion)
More about this role
At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
Summary
This is a Senior MTS position reporting directly to the Head of Safety and Certification. The Safety Systems Engineer-Robot Stability will own the design, implement, and optimize control systems that enable robust balance, posture maintenance, and dynamic locomotion in humanoid robots.
This role sits at the intersection of AI, functional safety, and robotics — responsible for ensuring that the robot's AI-driven perception, planning, and control behaviors meet the requirements of the broader humanoid robot safety standard ecosystem. You will...
