- Define system requirements, specifications, and design trade-offs for motor control solutions
- Develop and optimize control strategies such as:
- Field-Oriented Control (FOC)
- Sensorless and sensored control techniques
- Torque, speed, and position control loops
- Oversee hardware design including:
- Inverter topology (e.g., 3-phase bridge)
- Gate drivers, protection circuits, thermal design
- PCB layout for high-power applications
- Guide embedded software development in real-time environments (C/C++, DSP/MCU platforms)
- Ensure compliance with relevant standards (EMC, safety, functional safety if applicable)
- Drive system validation, debugging, and performance tuning (HIL, SIL, bench testing)
- Collaborate with stakeholders across product, manufacturing, and quality teams
- Lead technical reviews and ensure best engineering practices
Required Qualifications- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field
- 8+ years of experience in motor control systems, with a strong focus on PMSM drives
