Sr. Motor Control Embedded SW Engineer

Build control systems that actually move things in the real world—fast, precisely, and safely. We're looking for a Senior Embedded Motor Control Software Engineer with deep motor‑control expertise and the technical leadership to own the control architecture for aviation‑grade linear and rotary actuators.

• Lead motor control software design and implementation for PMSM / BLDC actuators
• Own FOC‑based current control (20 kHz loop) and higher‑level torque, velocity, and position control
• Define and maintain the multi‑loop control architecture (current/velocity/position)
• Develop sensor‑based FOC (encoder + current sensing), including signal conditioning, offset calibration, and runtime compensation
• Implement real‑time control on TI C2000 (F280034
  
  SPN); optimize PWM, ADC synchronization, interrupt timing, and loop determinism
• Build required low‑level drivers/middleware and ensure numerical stability, timing closure, and safe operation across all modes
• Use model‑based design to develop/validate controllers; maintain motor/inverter/actuator models and perform parameter /estimation
• Tune and calibrate current/velocity/position loops; develop or integrate FOC auto‑tuning and protection strategies
• Integrate with higher‑level embedded systems and execute SIL/MIL/HIL test strategies
• Support hardware bring‑up and lab debugging; participate in design/code reviews, requirements definition, and documentation

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer, or related engineering; equivalent experience may be considered
• Minimum of 8 years of embedded motor control software development experience
• Deep hands‑on experience with FOC‑based motor control
• Proven experience implementing motor control on TI C2000 MCUs
• Experience with F28003x / F280034 strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of:
  • Control theory
  • Power electronics
  • Electric machines
  • Real‑time embedded systems
  • Embedded C/C++ for real‑time applications
  • SIL / HIL / MIL testing environments
  • Comfortable working close to hardware in lab environments
• Preferred experience in:
  • Sensorless motor control algorithms
  • High‑bandwidth current loops (10–20 kHz)
  • Linear actuator control systems
  • Model‑based design tools (MATLAB / Simulink)
  • Auto‑code generation workflows
  • Functional safety (DO-178, ISO 26262 concepts)
  • Aerospace, automotive, or robotics actuation systems

• Work alongside elite engineering talent and innovators from across aerospace and tech
• Be part of a team moving faster than the industry standard
• Shape solutions that are lower‑cost, autonomous, and scalable— the future of aviation
• Competitive compensation, including equity participation, growth opportunities, and full health benefits (health, vision, dental, 401 K)

Location‑Specific Pay Range: $150,000—$175,000 USD (depends on experience and skill level)
