Controls Engineer

Roadrunner Venture Studios is partnering with a cutting-edge startup revolutionizing working to build bigger, simpler. Perseus Materials builds the world’s fastest manufacturing system for large-scale composite parts without molds, tooling, or delays. By reinventing how composites are made, Perseus unlocks a new era of structural materials: faster to produce, easier to assemble, and strong enough for real-world scale. By integrating chemistry, robotics, and custom hardware, Perseus unlocks entirely new paradigms in FRP manufacturing, to redefine how big things get built.

You’ll own the “nervous system” of our platform, with a wide-open canvas to work with leadership to imagine what’s possible at huge scale when we do manufacturing our own way. You’re a hands-on controls engineer who loves big, complex machines and figuring out how to make them behave that likes being: In the lab or on the floor, standing next to a system you helped design Wiring sensors and actuators, tuning control loops, and iterating until it “just runs” Translating fuzzy requirements (“we want to make that big thing, faster and better”) into concrete architectures, I/O, and logic Comfortable in ambiguity, curious by default, and you enjoy taking true ownership over how a system works end-to-end.
