About
AnySignal is a startup whose mission is to usher in the next generation of RF products and services. For the most demanding space and defense missions, AnySignal provides a flexible platform with world-class performance that is easy to deploy, monitor, purchase, and upgrade. Our team has a diverse range of backgrounds spanning cloud computing, artificial intelligence, communications and sensing, embedded systems, and more.
About the Role
This role spans COTS integration and custom firmware development. You'll commission and tune drive hardware, close loops on real motors, and build embedded software for our own control electronics - all in service of high-accuracy tracking on deployed systems.
What You'll Do
Own the motion control stack from controller design through field performance, including tuning, validation, and long-term reliabilityDesign, implement, and tune closed-loop control systems (cascaded PID, feedforward, gain scheduling) on real hardwareImplement trajectory generation and tracking algorithms for high-rate target profilesDesign and develop embedded firmware for a custom motor control boardIntegrate with higher-level software systems for scheduling, telemetry, and remote operationsInstrument the control system for observability - logging, metrics, diagnostics - so we can monitor fleet health and debug remotelyDesign calibration and self-check routines that keep performance tight over time and across deployed unitsBuild HIL/SIL test environments and validate control software before field deploymentCharacterize system dynamics - friction, compliance, inertia - and translate into controller performance
Required
Real experience closing feedback control loops on real motors - not just simulationC/C++ on embedded or real-time platforms (RTOS, bare-metal, or RT Linux)Hands-on integration with servo drives, motor controllers, or similar electromechanical systemsComfortable with hardware interfaces (SPI, CAN, RS-485, EtherCAT, GPIO)Ability to read schematics and debug at the board level
Nice to Have
Experience with commercial motion controllers (Galil, Delta Tau, PMAC, or similar)Antenna pointing, telescope tracking, or robotics backgroundFirmware development for custom PCBs (MCU bring-up, BSP, peripheral drivers)Python for tooling and test automationFamiliarity with satellite orbital mechanics or two-axis mount kinematics
