Controls Engineer, Robotics

About the company

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built—but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them—with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

How we operate

• Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.
• Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

Responsibilities

• Engineer controls for robotics in the data center: motion, safety, and integration with facility systems.
• Own the robot control stack integration: fleet management, task dispatch, and telemetry into the platform.
• Design the safety architecture: zones, interlocks, and functional safety for robots working among people and plant.
• Commission robotic systems at sites and hold them to availability targets.

Requirements

• You've engineered controls for robotic or automated systems in production.
• You've implemented functional safety around robots: risk assessments and safety PLCs.
• You've integrated robot fleets with external systems.
• You commission on-site and debug across mechanical, electrical, and software.
• You hold availability numbers, not demos.

Nice to have

• ROS or fleet managers.
• AMR platforms.
• Robot safety standards (ISO 10218, ISO 3691-4).
• Data center environments.
