WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON

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.
