FluidStack
Controls Engineer, Robotics
About this role
Fluidstack is seeking a Controls Engineer for Robotics to design and operate autonomous systems within AI data centers. You'll own the complete robot control stack—from motion control and safety architecture to fleet management and on-site commissioning—ensuring production-grade availability and integration with facility infrastructure.
What you'll do
- Design and implement controls for production robotic and autonomous systems in data center environments
- Build and integrate the robot control stack including fleet management, task dispatch, and telemetry systems
- Architect safety systems including zones, interlocks, and functional safety for robots operating near personnel
- Commission robotic systems at sites and maintain availability targets
- Debug across mechanical, electrical, and software domains during commissioning and troubleshooting
- Integrate robot fleets with external facility systems and platforms
What they're looking for
- Robotic controls engineering and motion control systems
- Functional safety design (safety PLCs, risk assessments, ISO 10218/3691-4 standards)
- Robot fleet management and task dispatch systems
- ROS (Robot Operating System) or equivalent fleet management frameworks
- On-site commissioning and cross-domain debugging
- Systems integration and telemetry architecture
