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

Sr. Specialist, Electrical Engineer- Motor Control and Servo Design joins the design team to support growing motor drive and control circuit card development needs. This role manages the full product lifecycle, including requirements definition, architecture, design, integration, verification, qualification, and production support for robust hardware solutions. The engineer designs brushless 3-phase inverter and motor drive circuits for servo and motion control applications while developing analog, digital, and power schematics. Key responsibilities include performing first-article bring-up, debugging in the laboratory, and applying control systems theory like PID and lead-lag compensation. Technical skills required include MATLAB/Simulink, LTspice, and SPICE for modeling; knowledge of C, C++, or VHDL; and experience with CAN bus and EtherCAT. The role addresses technical challenges in motion control, developing interface circuitry for encoders, resolvers, and actuators within 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 to support printed circuit card designs.
  • Manage the full hardware lifecycle from requirements analysis and design through verification and 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 electrical designs.
  • Support communication interfaces such as CAN bus and EtherCAT for system integration.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree and minimum 6 years of relevant experience, a graduate degree and 4 years of experience, or 10 years of experience without a degree.
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. DoD security clearance.
  • Experience in brushless 3-phase motor drives, inverter power stages, and servo control systems.
  • Expertise in designing analog, digital, and power schematics for printed circuit cards.
  • Proficiency in control systems theory including PID and lead-lag compensation.
  • Experience with modeling tools like MATLAB/Simulink and LTspice (preferred).
  • Knowledge of C, C++, or VHDL (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
