About The Position

Join a team of passionate and creative engineers dedicated to building technologies that will shape the future. We are a cross-functional group that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and tackling challenging problems. Our work lies at the intersection of groundbreaking hardware, software, and design, and we are looking for a key contributor to help us explore what's possible. In this role you will define and implement actuation solutions. This is a hands-on role working closely with our mechanical and control system counterparts to develop motor drive and sensing architectures, including silicon definition and system integration.

Requirements

• BS in electrical engineering or computer engineering
• 5+ years of relevant industry experience focusing on 3-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive circuitry design and integration
• Experience in motor drive silicon definition and development
• Excellent EE fundamentals focused on motor drives and analog design: 3-phase bridge design and control, gate drivers, phase current sensing, active and passive signal conditioning, feedback systems, ADC interfacing, DC/DC converters, and power integrity
• Strong working experience in electrical design, including component selection, circuit design, schematic capture, component placement and PCB/flex layout.
• Successful candidates have the ability to stay organized, execute to a timeline, and produce high quality deliverables
• Knowledge of embedded processor peripheral interfaces (PCIe, USB, I2C, CAN, SPI, storage, high speed serial)
• Strong working knowledge of best practices for PCB/flex layout and construction
• Hands on experience with test equipment including oscilloscope, multi-meters and more for prototype bring-up, debugging, and functional validation

Nice To Haves
