Job summary

Evari is seeking an exceptional Embedded Controls Engineer to develop real-time embedded control software for multi-motor drive systems. You will own firmware, real-time control algorithms, and integration layers across high-speed equipment, coordinating with third-party vendors to meet latency requirements.

The role requires strong embedded C/C++, MATLAB/Simulink, and experience with CAN; you will work with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance products and drive robust diagnostics

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven experience in designing, developing, programming, and testing electrical control systems for automated products, systems, and equipment.
• Hands-on experience with embedded controllers.
• Working knowledge of power electronics and motor drive architecture.
• Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++ for real-time control, with Python for scripting, tooling, and data analysis.
• Strong proficiency with MATLAB Simulink and Simscape for model-based control design (or similar tools).
• Automatic code generation experience - ideally using Raptor or OpenECU.
• Experience with model based software.
• Hands-on experience with CAN for motor drive communication.
• Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and analytical skills.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement real-time embedded control firmware that orchestrates multiple motor drives and manages high-speed compressor operation across Evari products.
• Determine the optimal control architecture
• Develop, model, and validate control algorithms using MATLAB Simulink and Simscape
• Specify motor drive requirements, performance targets, and communication interfaces to third-party drive vendors and OEM partners; collaborate with them to define control interfaces and, where necessary, influence or define low-level drive firmware to meet system latency and responsiveness needs.
• Integrate sensors, actuators, encoders, resolvers, and other feedback devices into the control architecture
• Conduct system testing, validation, and troubleshooting
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineering, software engineering, and manufacturing, to define system requirements and ensure successful product integration.
• Provide technical expertise and support to maintenance, engineering, and manufacturing personnel, and train them in new or improved technologies.
