Job Title: Software Controls Engineer

Job Description

This role involves being the 'software control system expert' responsible for defining and developing the software side of our gimbal motor control solution from the ground up. The candidate will handle everything software-related that feeds into the product from a controls/movement perspective, involving low-level development in C on bare metal processors. The role requires understanding system requirements and selecting the correct processor. The candidate will work with brushless DC motors and must have experience developing systems using these. Additionally, the role involves configuring the unit before it ships and sometimes in the field. In the long term, the goal is to develop a more automated configuration process, but the candidate will need to be involved in this for the foreseeable future.
Hard Skills
  • MS + 5 years or BS + 8 years
  • Minimum of 5 years of embedded C programming (bare metal)
  • Experience architecting the software stack for motor control applications including processor selection
  • Experience developing motor control software/firmware for any type of product, especially FOC
  • RTOS experience
  • Experience developing low-level software to process digital signals in the 5-15khz range
  • Experience in designing control systems based on Robust Controls and Adaptive Controls
  • FFT methods on embedded processors
  • Modi-plot based control methods, loop shaping methods
  • Inertial stabilized products
Job Type

This is a permanent position.
Work Site

This is a hybrid position requiring some days on-site in Hood River, Oregon and some days remote.
Work Environment

5 days a week on site is the official policy. However, there is flexibility for the right candidate. This role requires hands-on product configuration work which necessitates being on site.
