• Experience with Mechanics: Biomechanics, Kinematics and Dynamics
• Experience with Machine learning: Decision-making, optimization, and system modeling
• Experience with Electromechanical Control: Sensors, filtering, and motor control
• Experience identifying and solving hard problems and structural issues with creative solutions including algorithmic and/or codebase reorganization.
• Experience ensuring that assigned projects are successful from a Control's team standpoint; responsibility, accountability, and independence are key.
• Experience with human subject testing, data collection, real-time performance tracking.
• Experience with high-level “non-classical” control algorithms & techniques (MPC, LQR, Kalman filtering, etc.).
• Experience converting basic prototypes to quality implementations
• Experience with embedded systems and microcontrollers
• Positive energy, curiosity, and a passion for building magical products that users love.
• Strong technical savvy and understanding/curiosity about emerging innovative technologies.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment where continuous learning is core to our identity.
• Willingness to roll up your sleeves to win as a team.

As Controls Lead, you will play a critical role in driving the execution of our powered athlete product roadmap. You will be responsible for the implementation of algorithms and firmware in controls, ensuring our products deliver a superior user experience.

IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL

• Combine developing, debugging, and optimizing real-time software in novel ways to deliver new features that have immediate impact.
• Determine and implement the appropriate pattern recognition, heuristics, sensor fusion, data analysis, and/or machine learning techniques to address real athlete needs.
• Integrate high-level decision-making and motion control for developing systems.
• Help advance Nike’s understanding of control systems.
• Clearly understand and predict athlete’s needs to create the ultimate user experience.
• Scope controls work to be consistent with project goals. Create, execute, and communicate plans, timelines, and resources to break high level problems into more detailed actionable steps while managing risk.
• Proactively work with our multidisciplinary team to represent the Controls Team on complex system solutions.
• Provide technical leadership of team of algorithms, controls, and firmware engineers to support magical product experiences.
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, and researchers to ensure that controls systems serve the athlete.
