The Mechanical Engineers design and build the frame and joints, making sure the exoskeleton has the strength and power to make someone stand up and walk.
The Human Engineer makes sure the exoskeleton is medically justified, and is busy ensuring safety for the pilot, while forming a bridge between them and the team.
Software
The Lead Software leads and keeps track of the entire Software department, making sure everybody is on track and constantly looking ahead for possible problems to arise, whilst picking up various Software Engineer tasks.
The Software Engineers work on the software architecture, collecting sensor inputs and developing correct reactions.
As Lead Control, you will mainly participate as a Control Engineer in the Software department but you will also have some lead tasks. You will keep an overview of the Control deadlines, plan Control meetings and you are the main point of contact for the Management Team.
The Control Engineers convert the softwares desired output into voltages which can be sent to the exoskeleton motors, making sure they produce the desired torque.
