Our Mission

Expand human ambition in the physical world.

Critical infrastructure is constrained by labor shortages, hazardous working conditions, and operational complexity. Watney builds and deploys autonomous robotic systems that increase the speed and capacity of buildout, starting with data centers.

About the Role

At Watney, Controls Engineers build the algorithmic foundations that make robots move. Your work will directly unlock a new class of robot capabilities with a uniquely high bar across precision, stability, and compliance while operating in unstructured environments such as warehouses, factories, and data centers.

As a Controls Engineer you'll own the entire estimation & controls stack: formulating the math, writing highly optimized code, tuning in the lab, and deploying across a growing fleet of robots operating at customer sites. You will also collaborate with research, hardware, and deployment teams to diagnose and correct failure modes and to design new features for both our robots and teleoperation interfaces.

We're looking for someone with technical rigor and sharp engineering instincts who is equally comfortable deploying to robots in production, not just simulation. You should be able to derive controller formulations on
