Job Details
What You’ll Do
Design and develop motor controller hardware, from initial concept and architecture through testing and production.
Partner with system architects and firmware engineers to translate system‑level requirements into hardware specifications.
Create schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer while following sound engineering and design practices.
Perform electrical, thermal, and EMC analysis and simulation to validate designs and identify potential issues early.
Build and test prototypes, troubleshoot hardware issues, and drive problems through to resolution.
Work closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners on component selection, sourcing, production, and hardware support.
Collaborate with firmware and software engineers on the integration and validation of motor‑control algorithms and interfaces.
Partner with quality and compliance teams to support regulatory requirements and industry certifications.
Develop clear technical documentation, including design specifications, test procedures, and engineering reports.
Stay current with advancements in motor control, power electronics, and hardware design—and bring new ideas to the team.
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Demonstrated experience designing motor controller hardware, ideally within automotive, robotics, industrial automation, or another complex electromechanical environment.
Strong experience with schematic capture and PCB layout, particularly Altium Designer.
Solid understanding of analog and digital circuit design, power electronics, and signal processing.
Practical knowledge of motor control theory, including techniques such as PID and FOC, along with feedback mechanisms.
Experience designing or supporting 1–4 HP motor control systems.
Hands‑on experience with Brushed DC, Brushless DC, and AC Induction motors.
Experience with active and passive Power Factor Correction (PFC).
Experience designing, testing, and supporting flyback power supplies.
Familiarity with SPICE or comparable simulation and design‑verification tools.
Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills with a hands‑on approach to engineering.
Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Detail‑oriented mindset with a focus on building reliable, high‑quality hardware on schedule.
Why This Opportunity?
This is a chance to take ownership of meaningful hardware projects and see your designs move from schematic prototype testing production. You’ll work on challenging motor‑control and power‑electronics problems while collaborating with engineers across multiple disciplines.
If you’re the type of engineer who likes getting into the details, solving difficult hardware problems, and seeing your work become a real product, this could be a great fit.
