Senior electrical engineer

Job Overview

Help develop advanced motion control and power electronics solutions. In this role, the candidate will design and support hardware for servo systems, brushless motor drives, and inverter-based power stages used in high-performance applications. This is an opportunity to work across the full product lifecycle — from concept and architecture through design, test, integration, qualification, and production — while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions.

Work Environment

Office/Cubical or Production floor/lab environment (Flexible depending upon the needs of the project).

Responsibilities

• Design hardware for brushless 3-phase motor drives, inverter circuits, and servo control systems.
• Develop analog, digital, and power electronics schematics for circuit card assemblies.
• Support hardware bring-up, debug, integration, verification, and production transition.
• Apply control theory concepts such as PID and compensation techniques to motion control designs.
• Develop interfaces for encoders, resolvers, actuators, and related feedback devices.
• Use simulation and modeling tools such as MATLAB/Simulink and LTspice to validate designs.
• Partner with systems, mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and test engineers to ensure successful product execution.
• Support communication interfaces such as CAN bus and EtherCAT, as needed.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 6+ years of relevant experience; or Graduate degree with 4+ years of related experience; or 10+ years of directly related experience in lieu of a degree.

Preferred Skills

• Proven track record of designs that include motor drives, servo systems, and power electronics hardware design.
• Knowledge of stepper motors, motion control systems, or actuator test setups.
• Familiarity with C, C++, or VHDL.
• Experience with schematic capture and simulation tools such as Mentor Graphics and SPICE.
• Strong lab debugging and test experience with standard electrical lab equipment.
• Experience in military, aerospace, ruggedized, or high-reliability product environments.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and ability to work effectively on cross-functional teams.
• Ability to obtain a U.S. DoD security clearance is a plus.
