Senior Motor Control Systems Engineer

Job Title: Senior Motor Control Systems Engineer
Location: Stevenage (Relocation package may be available)

The Opportunity
Our client is seeking a Senior Motor Control Systems Engineer to work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary design team. The successful candidate will own the design, development, and proving of control algorithms, ensuring customer performance requirements are successfully met.

Role Overview
This position offers the opportunity to contribute to the development of advanced motor control systems within a dynamic environment. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing control algorithms while collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to achieve project objectives.

Key Responsibilities

• Development of control algorithms for analogue and digital systems, focusing on BLDC motors.
• Modelling of systems and performance analysis of the selected control algorithm.
• Derivation of sub-system requirements, including mechanical, electronics, and software components.
• Identification and selection of suitable electro-mechanical components such as electric motors and feedback sensors, working with suppliers where needed.
• Definition of design proving plans, execution of design proving tests, and data analysis.

What Our Client Is Looking For

Essential Skills:

• Experience in the design and development of control algorithms for digital control systems.
• Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink and Embedded Coder for control algorithm deployment, ideally with experience in BLDC motor control.
• Ability to model complex real-world electronic and mechanical systems, including feedback sensors, motors, drivetrains, and drive electronics.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively within internal and external design communities.

Desirable Skills:

• Ability to derive sub-system or component requirements to support system architecture development.
• Knowledge of electric motors and drive/commutation strategies such as Field Oriented Control (FOC) or Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM).
• Familiarity with DO-178C or DO-331 standards and code generation processes.

Security Clearance Requirements
Candidates must be British citizens or dual UK nationals with British citizenship. Restrictions or limitations related to nationality and rights to work may apply. All successful candidates will be required to undergo HMG Basic Personnel Security Standard checks (BPSS).
