Embedded Software Engineer, Electronics Engineering

Job Summary

Serve as the technical authority for embedded motor control software, controls algorithms, and system behavior within C&I motor control and drive products. Lead the architecture, design, implementation, validation, and release of embedded motor control software, from concept through product launch, ensuring performance, real-time reliability, stability, safety, and compliance with applicable standards. Operate with a high degree of autonomy, providing technical leadership, design direction, and mentoring other engineers while partnering closely with power electronics, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and supplier teams.

• Develop and implement motor control algorithms such as Field Oriented Control (FOC), six-step/trapezoidal control, sensorless back-EMF methods, observers and estimators, and torque, speed, and position control loops (PID, adaptive control).
• Develop firmware on embedded platforms, including PWM generation, ADC synchronization, and real-time signal processing.
• Develop control methods to improve efficiency and performance, including loss reduction and switching strategies.
• Own motor control system performance from concept through validation, including requirements interpretation, design trade-offs, and issue resolution.
• Develop and maintain MATLAB/Simulink models to simulate motor behavior, control design, and system stability.
• Work closely with power electronics and hardware teams.
• Interface with current and voltage sensing circuits, and validate signal scaling, offsets, and calibration.
• Debug system-level issues across firmware and hardware, including control performance, sensing, and power stage behavior.
• Implement communication interfaces such as Modbus, BACnet, UART, SPI, I2C, and wireless protocols (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi).
• Implement protection features such as overcurrent, overvoltage/under voltage, and stall/lock detection.
• Ensure compliance with safety requirements (e.g., Class B software per UL 60730).
• Write design documentation (control strategies, architecture), test plans, and validation reports.
• Establish and lead processes for managing embedded motor control software across development, validation, and production, ensuring controlled changes, consistent configurations, and repeatable software releases.
• Define and implement structured verification processes, including black box and white box testing, standardized validation methods, and formal peer reviews to ensure performance, stability, and quality.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field. Master’s degree preferred.
• 10+ years of experience in embedded systems, control systems, or electronics engineering.
• 7+ years of experience in motor control systems for industrial equipment or drives applications.
• Proven experience developing and implementing motor control algorithms (e.g., FOC, PID control, observers, sensorless methods) on embedded platforms.
• Strong hands‑on experience in real‑time embedded firmware development (C/C++) for control applications.
• Experience designing and optimizing control loops (current, speed, position) in real‑world systems.
• Experience working with power electronics systems (inverters, motor drives) and understanding their interaction with control algorithms.
• Practical experience with current and voltage sensing systems, including signal conditioning, scaling, and calibration in control applications.
• Experience debugging system‑level issues involving firmware, control behavior, and hardware interaction.
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink or similar tools for control design, modeling, and validation.
• Experience implementing or integrating communication protocols, including wired (UART, SPI, I2C, Modbus, BACnet) and wireless (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi).
• Experience developing or supporting safety-critical embedded software (e.g., UL 60730 or similar standards).
• Participation in full product lifecycle development, including prototyping, validation, and production support.
• Participation in product industrialization activities, including prototype builds, pilot runs, and production ramp‑up support.

• Clear written communication skills for technical…
