Senior Electrical Engineer
About The Position
Motivo is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer for hands-on engineering work on electro-mechanical systems with embedded electronics. The role includes developing and editing top-level system architectures, designing electrical and embedded systems, and generating technical drawings of systems, components, and interfaces. The desired work split is approximately 80% hands-on engineering and 20% mentoring or similar activities. The engineer will work across concurrent, fast-paced projects with minimal direction and communicate results and recommendations to internal and external customers.
Requirements
- Six or more years of professional engineering experience.
- Direct technical involvement in multiple electro-mechanical projects with embedded electronics, with a deep understanding of motion/control systems theory and physics.
- Exceptional communication skills and the ability to present results and recommendations to internal and external customers.
- Strong ability to mentor less experienced colleagues.
- Ability to handle concurrent, fast-paced projects with minimal direction.
- Experience with embedded electronics design involving technologies such as microcontrollers, DSPs, programmable logic devices (FPGA or CPLD), memory, high-speed signaling, or MEMS sensors.
- Experience with a variety of sensor types and technologies.
- Electrical test and debug experience using industry-standard tools such as oscilloscopes, in-circuit debug tools, and digital multimeters.
- Custom PCB design experience covering schematic entry, board layout, fabrication, assembly, and test.
Nice To Haves
- Design experience with motors, motor controllers, power supplies, inverters/converters, or power electronics.
- Programming experience, especially with embedded C, real-time operating systems (RTOS), or Matlab Simulink Coder (formerly Real-Time Workshop).
- Familiarity with communication protocols such as CAN, USB, SPI, I2C, and Ethernet.
- Familiarity with high-performance vehicles such as EVs, hybrid-electric vehicles, race vehicles, Solar Car, or Formula SAE, including their design processes and components.
- Experience designing and fabricating for automotive environments involving extreme temperature, shock, and vibration.
- Experience with various battery chemistries and related battery management systems.
- Experience with R&D, SBIR, venture-capital-funded, or similarly funded projects and work efforts.
Responsibilities
- Develop and edit top-level system architectures.
- Design electrical and embedded-electronics systems, including relevant motors, motor controllers, power supplies, inverters, converters, power electronics, and sensors.
- Perform electrical testing and debugging using industry-standard tools.
- Design custom PCBs from schematic entry and board layout through fabrication, assembly, and test.
- Generate technical drawings of systems, components, and interfaces.
- Present results and recommendations to internal and external customers.
- Mentor less experienced colleagues.
- Handle concurrent, fast-paced projects with minimal direction.
Benefits
- High-quality insurance.
- 401(k) match.
- Generous vacation time.
- Monday–Thursday 4/10 work week.
- Profit-sharing bonuses tied to overall company performance.
