Key skills for this role
Lead motor control software design and implementation for PMSM / BLDC actuators
Own FOC-based current control (20 kHz loop) and higher-level torque, velocity, and position control
Define and maintain the multi-loop control architecture (current/velocity/position)
Develop sensor-based FOC (encoder + current sensing), including signal conditioning, offset calibration, and runtime compensation
Implement real-time control on TI C2000 (F280034SPN); optimize PWM, ADC synchronization, interrupt timing, and loop determinism
Build required low-level drivers/middleware and ensure numerical stability, timing closure, and safe operation across all modes
Use model-based design to develop/validate controllers; maintain motor/inverter/actuator models and perform parameter ID/estimation
Tune and calibrate current/velocity/position loops; develop or integrate FOC auto-tuning and protection strategies
Integrate with higher-level embedded systems and execute SIL/MIL/HIL test strategies
Support hardware bring-up and lab debugging; participate in design/code reviews, requirements definition, and documentation
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field; equivalent professional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
Minimum of 8 years of experience in embedded motor control software development
Deep hands-on experience with FOC-based motor control
Proven experience implementing motor control on TI C2000 MCUs
Direct experience with F28003x / F280034 strongly preferred
Strong understanding of: Control theory Power electronics Electric machines Real-time embedded systems Proficiency in embedded C/C++ for real-time applications Experience with SIL / HIL / MIL testing environments Comfortable working close to hardware in lab environments
