(M/W) Exoskeleton Control Internship

This job offer is also available in French language on request.

Within a young and dynamic company located in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, you will take part in the development of our exoskeleton’s control algorithms. You will be part of the Controls, Architecture, Products, Simulation engineering team, made up of 7 AI & Control engineers, within a multidisciplinary structure of about 150 people, in a young and fast-growing company.

Our exoskeleton Eve has recently received FDA clearance, and we’re now looking to expand its capabilities to further empower our users. You will contribute to the development of this medical device, helping people with disabilities regain mobility and autonomy.

This work will span modeling, optimized trajectory generation, and/or control strategy development.

Your main activities will include, for example (non-exhaustive list):

• Contribute to expanding the exoskeleton’s capabilities and range of possible motions, working alongside team members (new features, enhanced user experience, easier maintenance and production work, etc.)

• Validating control architectures in a simulation

• Testing control architectures experimentally with the exoskeleton, and adapting them to the problems encountered

• Participating in the team’s tests on the exoskeleton

• Diploma: Final year of a master’s degree or a grande école d’ingénieur.e in applied mathematics, computer science, controls, robotics or equivalent

• Required experience: Beginners accepted

• Innovative — enjoys tackling complex, challenging problems and proposing new solutions

• Autonomous and proactive — identifies priorities independently, suggests new directions, challenges existing approaches when relevant

• Rigorous — comfortable with kinematics/dynamics calculations, careful about assumptions, conventions and units (essential when working on a medical device); able to clearly explain your approach and report results to peers

• Adaptable — keeps pace with frequent software changes and shifting priorities

• Skills required:

  • Python or C++ development - Autonomous level

  • Python development - Basic Knowledge

  • C++ development  - Basic Knowledge

  • Mathematical modeling - Autonomous level

  • Kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies - Autonomous level

  • Control theory - Autonomous level

  • Robotic system control - Autonomous level

  • Code version control - Basic Knowledge
