Senior Motor Control Systems Engineer
Location: Stevenage
Working Pattern: Hybrid - typically 2-3 days per week on-site
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Motor Control Systems Engineer to join a multi-disciplinary engineering team. In this role, you will own the design, development, and validation of advanced motor control algorithms, ensuring that system performance requirements are successfully met.
This is a great opportunity for an engineer with a strong background in motor control and system modelling who enjoys seeing designs progress from concept through to proven performance.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop control algorithms for both analogue and digital systems, typically for BLDC motor control.
* Model systems and perform performance analysis of control algorithms.
* Derive sub-system requirements for mechanical, electronic, and software elements.
* Identify suitable electro-mechanical components (motors, feedback sensors) and collaborate with suppliers where required.
* Define and execute design proving plans, testing, and subsequent data analysis.
About You
Essential skills and experience:
* Proven experience in designing and developing digital control algorithms.
* Skilled user of MATLAB/Simulink and Embedded Coder for algorithm generation and system deployment.
* Ability to model complex real-world systems, including feedback sensors, motors, drivetrains, and drive electronics.
* Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical disciplines.
Desirable skills:
* Experience deriving sub-system or component requirements from customer specifications.
* Knowledge of motor control strategies such as Field Oriented Control (FOC) or Space Vector PWM (SVPWM).
* Familiarity with DO-178C or DO-331 standards and code generation processes.
What's on Offer
* Company performance bonus scheme
* Pension scheme with generous employer contribution
* Opportunities for paid overtime and flexi leave (up to 15 additional days)
