The ideal candidate will have experience in automotive applications and will contribute to the development of advanced traction motor drive systems as part of a dynamic, innovative team at a leading Tier-1 supplier.\nJob Duties and Responsibilities\nDesign, develop, implement, and validate motor control algorithms for electrical machines, including IPM, SPM, and IM.\nDefine and manage requirements for motor controller functionality.\nConduct testing and verification of motor control algorithms on dynamometers and in-vehicle environments.\nDocument development processes and testing results, ensuring integration with relevant tools and systems.\nProvide technical guidance on advanced motor control topics.\nDevelop and enhance validation plans for traction motor control software.\nSupport related systems such as machine prototype development, powertrain controls, and traction inverter development.\nCollaborate with vendors, suppliers, and customers as needed.\nEducation and Qualifications\nMaster’s degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering\n2+ years post-MS in motor controls, electric drives, or electric machines.\nSkills\n RequiredStrong understanding of traction inverter drives and electric motors (IPM, SPM, IM).\nHands-on experience with field-oriented control for PM and/or IM machines. \nKnowledge of current control schemes and direct torque control strategies (preferred). \nProficiency in PWM techniques (sine PWM, space vector PWM); experience with discontinuous modulation and overmodulation is a plus. \nFamiliarity with digital observer and filter design. \nSolid foundation in control system theory, including system modeling, simulation, and advanced control design techniques. \nProficient in Matlab/Simulink for modeling, simulation, and validation. \nBasic knowledge of embedded C and ability to implement algorithms in compliance with automotive standards (e.g., MISRA). \nExperience with development stages and tools: MIL, SIL, HIL, and full system testing (dyno, vehicle).\n\n Preferred\nPractical knowledge of dead-time and delay compensation, voltage limits, and switching frequency variations.\nFamiliarity with position/speed sensors (resolvers, encoders). \nExperience with motor control MCUs and communication interfaces (CAN, SPI, I2C). \nSkilled with debugging tools (CANape, CANalyzer) and troubleshooting at the system level (including gearing, powertrain controls, battery systems). \nExperience with IDE tools (CCS, Eclipse), version control (Git), and software release processes.\nFunctional safety knowledge (ISO 26262) is a plus.\n\nWhat we offer\nOpportunity to work on cutting-edge electrified powertrain systems\nCollaborative and innovative engineering environment\nExposure to full product development lifecycle\nIf you are passionate about vehicle performance, energy efficiency, and future propulsion technologies, and you thrive in a data-driven, hands-on engineering role-we encourage you to apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3628,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Motors,
