## The team you will be a part of
In this role, the candidate will work in a global cross-functional team to design, implement and integrate firmware with Motor Control solutions and Model Based Algorithms, to achieve attribute and product performance targets.
## This role in summary
The Technical Manager of Motor Control Systems leads a team of firmware and control engineers designing next-generation electric drive systems. This role balances hands-on technical architecture—spanning power electronics, embedded software, and dynamic motor control algorithms—with team mentorship, career development, project planning, and product delivery.
## Your responsibilities will include
* Team Leadership: Manage, mentor, and grow a team of 5–10 engineers specializing in motor controls, embedded firmware, and power hardware design.
* System Architecture: Define technical roadmaps and system architectures for motor control units (MCUs), power stages, and sensory feedback systems across BLDC, PMSM, and induction motor platforms.
* Algorithm & Control Design: Guide the development of advanced control algorithms, including Field-Oriented Control (FOC), Sensorless Control, Direct Torque Control (DTC), and Field Weakening strategies.
* Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with mechanical, systems, safety, and manufacturing teams to ensure robust mechatronic integration, regulatory compliance, and seamless design-for-manufacturability (DFM).
* Technical Oversight: Lead design reviews (schematics, firmware, simulation models), direct Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, and oversee debugging of complex control loop stability or power stage thermal/EMC issues.
* Project Management: Set engineering deliverables, manage resource allocation using Agile methodologies, and maintain project schedules from initial concept to mass production.
## Minimum requirements
* Education: B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Control Systems (Ph.D. preferred).
* Experience: 8+ years in motor drive design and power electronics, including 2+ years in a technical leadership or management role.
* Control Systems Mastery: Deep technical foundation in modern control theory, state estimation, and motor parameters identification.
* Embedded Firmware & Hardware: Hands-on experience with real-time embedded C/C++, microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex-M), inverter design (MOSFETs, IGBTs, GaN/SiC technology), and gate drivers.
* Simulation & Validation: Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink for model-based design, and laboratory validation equipment (dynamometers, oscilloscopes, power analyzers).
## Preferred skills and experiences
* Electrical or Electronic Engineering master’s degree
* Experience with functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508) and developing safety-critical firmware.
* Proficient understanding of code versioning tools, such as Git
* Familiarity with continuous integration and test
* Ability to work cross functionally and globally.
* Capable of working independently with cross functional teams and to provide updates to the leadership through effective communication. Should be able to negotiate and influence technical and non-technical audiences
* A passion for applying latest…
