Job Details

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

The ideal person for this role will have a blend of experience with embedded C and classical control theory (motor control) looking to leverage their passion for firmware and control algorithm development.
Implementation of control algorithms for electric motors and inverters in embedded C/C++. This may involve auto-coding from the derived control simulation, hand coding and coding of the hardware abstraction layer.
Develop motor control algorithm and firmware that spans across our motor/generator products.
Design and simulate algorithms for controlling of electric motors/generators, and power converters.
Experience with embedded ARM/C2000 and motor control modules within ARM/C2000 micro controllers
Work with system design team and firmware team to integrate control algorithms into the control systems.
Work with firmware team to develop reusable device drivers and application libraries
Develop test plan, perform validation test and ensure compliance with specification.
Perform hands on work encompassing testing, tuning, and troubleshooting of existing and new motors/generators and power electronics controllers.
Lead the activities of control hardware in-the-loop (C-HIL) test setup and simulation environments.
Analyze performance data and make recommendations for improvements.
Participate in all aspects of product development, including design, prototyping, development, testing, and manufacturing.
Assist with part selection, board and product design.

Required Skills, Experience, Education, and Abilities:

BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems Engineering or Computer Science and having 5 years of industry experience. PhD is a plus.
Strong background of at least 5 years in control design for motor drive applications and its embedded firmware development in C/C++. Experience with power electronics control development is plus.
Deep knowledge of high-performance motor control algorithms and software including various formulations of field-oriented control and direct torque/flux control
Hands on experience of field-oriented control, flux estimation methods, sensorless and resolver-based controls, 3-phase power control, and control system design.
Experience with MATLAB/Simulink/Plecs. Model-based design using Matlab/Simulink/Plecs (modeling and simulation of electric drives, and inverter fault handling) is a plus.
Skilled in classical and advanced control system theory, including modeling, simulation, stability analysis, control loop shaping, signaling, and processing.
Ability to lead and support multiple projects related to control design and tuning.
Able to use and set up test equipment such as oscilloscopes, data loggers / analyzers, software development tools, CANalyzer.

Desired Skills and Experience

Experience with embedded low level driver implementation.
Familiar with fundamentals of power electronics and electric machines.
Demonstrated experience with space vector, sinusoidal, and/or discontinuous PWM schemes.
Fundamental knowledge of digital, analog and power electronic circuits.
Familiarity with common bus protocols such as SPI, I2C, CAN, RS485, etc.
Strong debugging skills through use of instrumentation such as oscilloscopes and protocol analyzers
Experience with TI C2000 series, TI Sitara, NXP MPC, or NXP S32k series microcontrollers
