Mechatronics Engineer (Robot Motion Control & Embedded Systems Development) at Locus Robotics; scenario-based firmware validation using HIL pipelines
Data CollectionDeveloped hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing frameworks that simulate drive system load profiles and motor fault conditions for validating embedded firmware across large sets of scenarios. Built and executed repeated test scenarios to ensure consistent labeling/ground-truth outcomes for localization, control-loop timing, and navigation behaviors during firmware validation. Reduced embedded software validation cycle time by using automated, scenario-based testing pipelines that replace physical robot hardware. • Simulated motor fault conditions and drive system loads for validation across 200+ test scenarios • Tested closed-loop control behaviors on ARM Cortex-M platforms with sub-5ms control loop timing targets • Calibrated odometry and improved EKF-based sensor fusion localization accuracy for labeling-quality evaluation • Integrated surface-specific motion control parameters across 15+ warehouse fulfillment configurations
