Job Summary

Serve as the technical authority for embedded motor control software, controls algorithms, and system behavior within C&I motor control and drive products. Lead the architecture, design, implementation, validation, and release of embedded motor control software, from concept through product launch, ensuring performance, real-time reliability, stability, safety, and compliance with applicable standards. Operate with a high degree of autonomy, providing technical leadership, design direction, and mentoring other engineers while partnering closely with power electronics, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and supplier teams

Job Description

What it does / How to / Aiming at Results

  • Develop and implement motor control algorithms such as Field Oriented Control (FOC), six-step / trapezoidal control, sensorless back-EMF methods, observers and estimators, and torque, speed, and position control loops (PID, adaptive control)
  • Develop firmware on embedded platforms, including PWM generation, ADC synchronization, and real-time signal processing
  • Develop control methods to improve efficiency and performance, including loss reduction and switching strategies
  • Own motor control system performance from concept through validation, including requirements interpretation, design trade-offs, and issue resolution
  • Develop and maintain MATLAB/Simulink models to simulate motor behavior, control design, and system stability
  • Work closely with power electronics and hardware teams
  • Interface with current and voltage sensing circuits, and validate signal scaling, offsets, and calibration
  • Debug system-level issues across firmware and hardware, including control performance, sensing, and power stage behavior
  • Implement communication interfaces such as Modbus, BACnet, UART, SPI, I2C, and wireless protocols (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi)
  • Implement protection features such as overcurrent, overvoltage/undervoltage, and stall/lock detection
  • Ensure compliance with safety requirements (e.g., Class B software per UL 60730)
  • Write design documentation (control strategies, architecture), test plans, and validation reports
  • Establish and lead processes for managing embedded motor control software across development, validation, and production, ensuring controlled changes, consistent configurations, and repeatable software releases
  • Define and implement structured verification processes, including black box and white box testing, standardized validation methods, and formal peer reviews to ensure performance, stability, and quality

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
