The Electrical Engineer is responsible for designing and developing advanced electrical systems that power high-speed rotating equipment, with a focus on Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for AC motors, DC motor controllers for DC motor applications, motor controls, and the integration of industrial communication protocols. This role ensures robust, efficient, and reliable electrical solutions by leveraging expertise in power electronics, motor design, and control algorithms, while incorporating best practices in thermal management, EMI/EMC compliance, and manufacturing processes.

The position requires close collaboration with engineering, manufacturing, quality, sales, and product management teams to take designs from concept through prototyping and into full-scale production. The ideal candidate combines strong technical expertise with hands‑on manufacturing knowledge and a passion for continuous improvement in both design and production processes.

Design and Development of Electrical Systems
a. Support, develop and optimize Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for AC motors and DC motor controllers for DC motor applications.
b. Design, integrate and diagnose CAN‑based communication architectures that support deterministic data exchange between motor controllers, sensors.

c. Support motor design activities

• Performance Analysis
  • Evaluating how the motor behaves under different operating conditions (speed, torque, load).
  • Using tools like MATLAB/Simulink or Ansys Maxwell to simulate motor efficiency, thermal performance, and electromagnetic characteristics.
• Control Algorithm Development
  • Creating or refining algorithms that control motor speed, torque, and position.
  • Implementing algorithms in VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives) or DC motor controllers.
  • Ensuring smooth acceleration, deceleration, and fault protection using techniques like PID control, vector control, or field‑oriented control (FOC).

Testing and Validation
a. Conduct hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) and system‑level testing for VFD and DC motor controller
b. Validate designs against industry standards for safety, reliability, and electromagnetic compatibility. c. Develop and maintain test plans, instructions, and scripts (Python, C++) to ensure product durability and performance.

Manufacturing and Integration
a. Oversee PCB design and fabrication, soldering, and wiring harness assembly.
b. Collaborate on enclosure design, thermal management, EMI/EMC compliance.
c. Coordinate assembly, testing, and validation of electrical systems.
d. Utilize 3D printing (metal and polymer) for prototyping and component development.
e. Ensure proper application of coating, plating, and painting processes for durability and performance.

New Product Development
a. Work cross‑functionally with engineering, manufacturing, quality, sales, and product management teams to integrate electrical design principles into new product development.
b. Validate that…
