Motor Control Software Engineer (senior / principal)
Warwickshire, UK
£65-75k + bonus + benefits (negotiable)
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced software engineer to develop motor control software for a broad variety of customers across multiple e-mobility / electric vehicle sectors.
Based in Leamington Spa.
Required:
* ESSENTIAL: Proven experience of developing software for traction motors used directly for e-mobility applications (land, sea or air - e.g. automotive electric vehicle EDU systems, drone propulsion, marine electric powertrains, etc)
* Experience of developing embedded software OR model based software
* Experience of capturing requirements and developing software architecture
* Good technical leadership / mentoring and communication skills
In this role you will be involved with taking customer projects from concept to prototype. This means being able to develop systems from scratch, bringing solutions up through hardware integration and lab testing to form validated prototypes ready for customer handover.
This role requires experience of embedded C software development OR model-based software development utilising Matlab / Simulink tools.
Candidates should have a systems appreciation and have ideally worked within the various e-mobility domains (e.g. automotive, aerospace, off-highway, marine, etc).
Skills / experience required:
* A good degree or ideally masters in a relevant subject (e.g. electronics, computer science, automotive engineering, etc)
* 8-10 years of post-academic experience including significant experience of motor control software development for e-mobility systems
* Good evidence of model based software development using Matlab / Simulink OR embedded C programming
* ESSENTIAL: Proven experience of developing software for traction motors used directly for e-mobility applications (land, sea or air - e.g. automotive electric vehicle EDU systems, drone propulsion, marine electric powertrains, etc)
* Good practical engineering aptitude (e.g. getting software to work on hardware platforms, within larger electromechanical systems, etc).
* Ability to technically lead projects, mentor juniors and work effectively with customers
* Experience of autocode tools (e.g. Embedded Coder) would be useful.
* Evidence of innovation and creative problem solving for relevant engineering projects
Our client is looking for senior or principal motor control software engineer to help take proof of concepts through to prototype and into production ready designs.
Domain knowledge of motor control software development for vehicle propulsion is paramount (land, sea or air)
This principal engineer role is based onsite (3 days per week) and is commutable from Birmingham. Redditch, Solihull, Nuneaton, Hinckley, Leamington Spa, Banbury, Daventry, Rugby, Coventry and Lutterworth.
