Senior Embedded Motor Control Engineer

Senior Embedded Motor Control Engineer (Robotics, Automotive & Aerospace)

Location: Irvine, CA Schedule: 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM, Monday – Friday

The Role:

Build the Systems That Actually Move

We are seeking a Senior Embedded Motor Control Software Engineer to own the control system architecture and lead the implementation of high-performance algorithms for linear and rotary actuators. This is a high-stakes "inner-loop" role where you will own the 20 kHz current control loop, as well as velocity and position control, running on real-time microcontrollers.

Key Responsibilities

• Algorithm Leadership: Lead the design and implementation of motor control software for PMSM and BLDC motors.
• Embedded Implementation: Optimize PWM modules, ADC sampling, and interrupt timing on TI C2000 (specifically F280034SPN) or comparable MCUs.
• Modeling & Simulation: Use model-based design (MATLAB/Simulink) to build motor, inverter, and actuator models that inform controller structure and gains.
• Hands-on Tuning: Perform rule-based tuning for current, velocity, and position loops while analyzing lab data to refine stability margins.
• Integration & Test: Execute MIL, SIL, and HIL test strategies and lead hardware bring-up and debugging in the lab.

What You'll Bring

• Experience: Minimum of 8 years in embedded motor control development.
• Deep Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of Control Theory, Power Electronics, and Electric Machines.
• Language Proficiency: Strong proficiency in Embedded C/C++ for real-time applications.
• Hardware Intuition: Proven ability to integrate and debug software across hardware and firmware boundaries in a lab setting.

Why Join?Work alongside elite engineering talent on a rare 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM schedule. We offer competitive compensation, including equity participation and full health/401K benefits.
