About the role

  • Our team leverages automation, AI-driven tools, and a fully connected digital backbone to accelerate innovation and reduce barriers to production.
  • Here, you won't just take a job - you'll help reinvent how the world flies.
  • If you're ready to solve complex problems, push technology further, and work alongside some of the brightest minds in aerospace, this is your chance to make a real impact.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and implementation of motor control software for PMSM / BLDC motors
  • Own FOC -based current control (20 kHz loop), including torque, velocity, and position control
  • Design and maintain control architecture spanning current, velocity, and position loops
  • Develop sensor-based FOC, including encoder and current-sensor signal conditioning
  • Implement sensor offset calibration and runtime compensation
  • Develop and evaluate sensorless control strategies where applicable
  • Implement real-time motor control software on TI C2000 microcontrollers, specifically F280039Series or equivalent.
  • Configure and optimize PWM modules
  • Configure and optimize ADC sampling and synchronization
  • Configure and optimize interrupt timing and control loop determinism

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in motor control software development
  • Deep hands-on experience with FOC -based motor control
  • Proven experience implementing motor control on MCUs (e.g. TI C2000, NXP, STM or similar)
  • Strong understanding of:
  • Proficiency in Model-based design tools (e.g. MATLAB / Simulink or similar)
  • Proficiency in embedded C/C++ for real-time applications
  • Experience with SIL / HIL / MIL testing environments

Nice to have

  • Ensure numerical stability, timing closure, and safe operation under all modes
  • Use models to inform controller structure, gains, limits, and protection strategies
  • Analyze lab data to refine control performance and stability margins

Compensation

  • Implement sensor offset calibration and runtime compensation
