TL;DR · Senior Specialist Electrical Engineer, Motor Control and Servo Design

The Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer- Motor Control and Servo Design joins the design team to support growing motor drive and control circuit card development. This role manages the full product lifecycle, from requirements definition and architecture through design, integration, verification, qualification, and production support. The engineer designs brushless 3-phase inverter and motor drive circuits for servo and motion control applications, developing analog, digital, and power schematics. Key responsibilities include performing first-article bring-up, debugging hardware in a laboratory, and applying control systems theory like PID and lead-lag compensation. Required skills include MATLAB/Simulink, LTspice, and SPICE for modeling and simulation. The role also involves designing interface circuitry for encoders and actuators while supporting communication interfaces such as CAN bus and EtherCAT for ruggedized, high-reliability environments.

What you'll do

  • Design brushless 3-phase inverter and motor drive circuits for servo and motion control applications.
  • Develop analog, digital, and power schematics for printed circuit card designs.
  • Manage the full hardware lifecycle from requirements analysis and design to production transition.
  • Perform first-article bring-up and debug of new hardware in a laboratory environment.
  • Apply control systems theory, including PID and lead-lag compensation, to motor and servo designs.
  • Develop interface circuitry for encoders, resolvers, actuators, and other feedback devices.
  • Use MATLAB/Simulink and LTspice to model, simulate, and validate hardware designs.
  • Support communication interfaces such as CAN bus and EtherCAT for system designs.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 6 years of relevant experience, Graduate Degree and 4 years of experience, or 10 years of experience without a degree.
  • Experience designing brushless 3-phase inverter and motor drive circuits for servo and motion control applications.
  • Experience developing analog, digital, and power schematics for printed circuit card design.
  • Experience applying control systems theory, including PID and lead-lag compensation, to motor and servo control designs.
  • Experience using modeling and simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink and LTspice.
  • Experience with stepper motor drive design and debug (preferred).
  • Experience with motion tables or motion control test systems (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
