Engineering Specialist

Description

We are looking for a talented Engineering Specialist to join our team specialising in Motor Controls Software Design & HIL Simulation for drivetrain and braking systems. This role involves developing, implementing, and validating advanced control strategies for electric brake and steering systems, ensuring robust performance across a range of operating conditions. It requires up to 25-30% of domestic and international travel frequency.

Responsibilities

• Leading the design and development of advanced motor and inverter control algorithms, including Field-Oriented Control (FOC), Direct Torque Control (DTC), and sensorless control techniques.
• Creating and refining mathematical models using simulation tools to ensure robust and reliable control strategies.
• Integrate embedded control software with HIL systems for closed-loop testing and fault injection analysis.
• Develop and maintain HIL simulation environments using platforms such as dSPACE, NI VeriStand, or Speedgoat for real-time validation of control software.
• Contributing to the overall reliability and safety of products by ensuring software and systems meet safety standards like ISO 26262.
• Ensuring comprehensive system requirements and functionality through close collaboration with electronics, mechatronics, mechanical, and safety teams.
• Maintaining system reliability and efficiency by diagnosing and resolving electro-mechanical, electrical/electronics, and electro-pneumatic system issues.
• Supporting knowledge transfer and continuous improvement within the team by creating detailed technical documentation and mentoring less-experienced engineers.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
• Proven expertise in motor control theory, inverter topologies, and power electronics.
• Extensive experience in developing and tuning control algorithms for PMSM, BLDC, and induction motors.
• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, C/C++, and embedded software development.
• Experience in Vehicle Dynamics and Motion Controls is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with HIL platforms and real-time simulation tools.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and communication skills.
