TL;DR · Motor Drive Systems Engineer

The Motor Drive Systems Engineer joins a cross-functional team to define and implement actuation solutions. This hands-on role involves developing motor drive and sensing architectures, including silicon definition and system integration. The engineer will work closely with mechanical and control system counterparts to develop motor drive circuitry, perform bringup and debug, conduct hardware validation, and prototype proof of concepts. Key technical requirements include expertise in 3-phase brushless DC motor drive design, silicon development, 3-phase bridge design, gate drivers, phase current sensing, active and passive signal conditioning, feedback systems, ADC interfacing, DC/DC converters, and power integrity. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in schematic capture, PCB/flex layout, and embedded processor peripheral interfaces like PCIe, USB, I2C, CAN, and SPI using oscilloscopes and multi-meters.

What you'll do

  • Define and implement silicon specifications for motor drive solutions.
  • Design and integrate 3-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive circuitry.
  • Define motor drive architectures and manage system-level integration.
  • Perform hardware bring-up and debug prototype systems using test equipment.
  • Execute hardware validation and functional testing for motor drive components.
  • Develop and prototype proof of concepts for new actuation solutions.
  • Create electrical designs including schematics, component selection, and PCB/flex layouts.

What we're looking for

  • BS in electrical engineering or computer engineering.
  • MS in electrical engineering or computer engineering (preferred).
  • 5+ years of relevant industry experience focusing on 3-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive circuitry design and integration.
  • 8+ years of relevant industry experience focusing on 3-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive design and integration (preferred).
  • Experience in motor drive silicon definition and development.
  • Proven experience across the motor drive silicon development cycle from architecture to mass production (preferred).
  • Excellent EE fundamentals in motor drives and analog design, including 3-phase bridge design, gate drivers, and power integrity.
  • Strong working experience in electrical design, including component selection, schematic capture, and PCB/flex layout.
  • Knowledge of embedded processor peripheral interfaces such as PCIe, USB, I2C, CAN, and SPI.
  • Hands-on experience with test equipment including oscilloscopes and multi-meters for prototype bring-up and debugging.
