About

Wandercraft provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age or disability.

At Wandercraft we pioneer intelligent robotics to help people do what they can’t do. We apply the most advanced robotics and AI to expand what’s possible for humans in the fields of healthcare and now industry. Founded in 2012, Wandercraft is globally recognized for creating the world’s first self-balancing walking exoskeleton, Atalante X, which is used in more than 100 rehabilitation centers across four continents helping individuals with disabilities re-learn how to walk, with over a million steps taken each month.

Building on over a decade of real-world experience and a proprietary neural network trained on billions of steps, we’re bringing mobility beyond clinical settings and into the home. Our personal exoskeleton, Eve, is a first-of-itskind device designed to assist wheelchair users in standing and walking in everyday life. Now we’re expanding our platform to support industrial and assistive tasks with the Calvin family of humanoid robots. Built in just 40 days, Calvin-40 is designed to relieve factory workers from hazardous labor. Future versions of Calvin will assist persons with reduced autonomy in their daily activities.

Our growth into home and industrial robotics opens new horizons while reinforcing our ability to scale innovation, improve reliability, and accelerate our impact, across our entire portfolio of products and industries. From Paris and New York, our team of over 110 engineers, clinicians, researchers, and operators is united by one mission: to design robotics that improve human life, wherever people need them most!

We’re not just hiring people: we’re building a team of pioneers, curious minds and problem solvers who want to change the world, step by step.

Join us to shape the next generation of medical and humanoid robotics powered by AI and purpose.

Job Description

Within a young and dynamic start-up located in the center of Paris, you will participate in the development of exoskeleton control. This work will include aspects of modeling, optimization, trajectory generation, controller synthesis and/or reinforcement learning. You will be tasked with developing the most robust and safe algorithms to ensure the best possible experience for our users.

Reporting to the Head of Dynamic Walking, you will be integrated in the Controls team and will collaborate with the Mechanical and Electronic teams to implement the most recent approaches of robotics.

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

  • Develop controls algorithms with strategies like linear control, non-linear control, MPC

  • Train end-to-end or hybrid policies with reinforcement learning

  • Optimize trajectories offline and online

  • Write efficient software in C++ and Python

  • Improve system modeling and simulator realism

  • Develop state estimation algorithms

  • Participate in the team’s tests on the exoskeleton

Preferred Experience

  • Diploma: Master’s or PhD degree in Controls, Machine Learning, Optimization, Applied mathematics, or related scientific field

  • Required experience: projects on robotics system controls and/or Machine Learning

Skills

  • Programming (C++/Python): autonomous

  • Algorithmics: autonomous

  • Robotics (kinematics, dynamics, working with sensor data): autonomous

  • Control theory: autonomous

  • Machine learning: autonomous
