A bit about us:
Build the Hardware Behind the Next Generation of Motion
Are you an electrical engineer who enjoys taking complex hardware from concept through prototype, testing, and production?
We're looking for a Motor Controller Hardware Design Engineer to join an innovative engineering team developing sophisticated motor control and power electronics technology. This is a hands-on opportunity to design, troubleshoot, and optimize hardware that powers real-world products.
You'll work across electrical engineering, firmware, systems, manufacturing, and quality to turn requirements into reliable, production-ready motor control solutions.
Why join us?
Key Perks:
- Competitive salary
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with company matching
- Company-paid life insurance
- Short- and long-term disability insurance
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA) / Health Savings Account (HSA)
- Generous paid time off
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Job Details
What You'll Do
- Design and develop motor controller hardware, from initial concept and architecture through testing and production.
- Partner with system architects and firmware engineers to translate system-level requirements into hardware specifications.
- Create schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer while following sound engineering and design practices.
- Perform electrical, thermal, and EMC analysis and simulation to validate designs and identify potential issues early.
- Build and test prototypes, troubleshoot hardware issues, and drive problems through to resolution.
- Work closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners on component selection, sourcing, production, and hardware support.
- Collaborate with firmware and software engineers on the integration and validation of motor-control algorithms and interfaces.
- Partner with quality and compliance teams to support regulatory requirements and industry certifications.
- Develop clear technical documentation, including design specifications, test procedures, and engineering reports.
- Stay current with advancements in motor control, power electronics, and hardware design-and bring new ideas to the team.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Demonstrated experience designing motor controller hardware, ideally within automotive, robotics, industrial automation, or another complex electromechanical environment.
- Strong experience with schematic capture and PCB layout, particularly Altium Designer.
- Solid understanding of analog and digital circuit design, power electronics, and signal processing.
- Practical knowledge of motor control theory, including techniques such as PID and FOC, along with feedback mechanisms.
- Experience designing or supporting 1-4 HP motor control systems.
- Hands-on experience with Brushed DC, Brushless DC, and AC Induction motors.
- Experience with active and passive Power Factor Correction (PFC).
- Experience designing, testing, and supporting flyback power supplies.
- Familiarity with SPICE or comparable simulation and design-verification tools.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with a hands-on approach to engineering.
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Detail-oriented mindset with a focus on building reliable, high-quality hardware on schedule.
Why This Opportunity?
This is a chance to take ownership of meaningful hardware projects and see your designs move from schematic prototype testing production. You'll work on challenging motor-control and power-electronics problems while collaborating with engineers across multiple disciplines.
If you're the type of engineer who likes getting into the details, solving difficult hardware problems, and seeing your work become a real product, this could be a great fit.
