Embedded System Engineer

Company Description

Quintrans is a deep-tech hardware company building high-performance electromagnetic linear actuators and motion systems for robotics, industrial automation, defense, and next-generation mobility platforms. We design and manufacture advanced linear motor systems, power electronics, and control architectures that replace traditional pneumatic and mechanical actuation systems delivering precision, energy efficiency, and reliability from India to the world. We are a fast-growing engineering-driven team building globally competitive motion technology with real world industrial impact.

Role Description

The Embedded Systems & Controls Engineer will be responsible for designing, developing, and validating high voltage power electronics and control systems for electromagnetic linear actuators and motor platforms. The role involves end-to-end ownership of power stage design, embedded controls development, system integration, and validation from concept and simulation to hardware bring-up and performance optimization. This is a high-ownership role suited for engineers who can independently drive power electronics and control development programs in a fast-paced deep-tech environment.

Responsibilities

• Design high-voltage power electronics circuits (DC bus systems, inverters, gate drivers, protection circuits).
• Develop motor control algorithms (FOC, current control loops, position/velocity loops).
• Design and simulate control systems using MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent tools.
• Develop embedded firmware for motor control (C/C++ on MCU platforms such as STM32 / dsPIC / ESP32 / equivalent).
• Perform hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation of power electronics boards.
• Implement protection strategies (overcurrent, overvoltage, thermal, short-circuit protection).
• Conduct system-level testing including efficiency mapping, thermal analysis, and dynamic performance validation.
• Collaborate with mechanical and product teams for integrated machine design.
• Support FMEA and reliability analysis from a power electronics and controls perspective.
• Maintain structured documentation including schematics, PCB revisions, firmware versions, and validation reports.
• Continuously improve system efficiency, EMI/EMC robustness, and control stability through iterative development.

Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering / Electrical Engineering / Power Electronics / Control Systems. Freshers with strong fundamentals in power electronics and hands to apply.

Experience

• Strong knowledge of high voltage DC systems and inverter design.
• Experience in circuit design for motor drives (MOSFET/IGBT selection, gate driver design, current sensing, DC link design).
• Solid understanding of electric machine fundamentals and motor modeling.
• Hands on experience with control theory (PID control, state control loops). space models, current and velocity controls loops).
• Experience in debugging using oscilloscopes, current probes, and power analyzers.
• Understanding of EMI/EMC considerations in power electronics systems. Strong problem solving ability and ownership mindset.
