Senior Motor Control Engineer

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of motor control software for PMSM / BLDC motors
• Own FOC-based current control (20 kHz loop), including torque, velocity, and position control
• Design and maintain control architecture spanning current, velocity, and position loops
• Develop sensor-based FOC, including encoder and current-sensor signal conditioning
• Implement real-time motor control software on TI C2000 microcontrollers
• Configure and optimize PWM modules, ADC sampling, and interrupt timing
• Apply model-based design methodologies for control development and validation
• Perform motor parameter identification and estimation
• Develop and execute SIL, MIL, and HIL test strategies
• Support hardware bring-up, debugging, and system-level integration

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in motor control software development
• Deep hands-on experience with FOC-based motor control
• Proven experience implementing motor control on MCUs (e.g. TI C2000, NXP, STM or similar)
• Strong understanding of control theory, power electronics, and electric machines
• Proficiency in Model-based design tools (e.g. MATLAB / Simulink)
• Proficiency in embedded C/C++ for real-time applications
• Experience with SIL / HIL / MIL testing environments
• Ability to work in lab environments close to hardware

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience with F28003x / F280039
• Sensorless motor control algorithms
• High-bandwidth current loops (≥10–20 kHz)
• Linear actuator control systems
• Functional safety or safety-critical systems exposure (DO-178, ISO 26262)
• Experience in aerospace, automotive, or robotics
