Job description

Overview

My client, a world leader in the defence sector and supplier of Missiles and Missile Systems, requires a Senior Motor Control Systems Engineer to join their team, leading the design, development and proving of control algorithms.

Responsibilities

• Develop control algorithms for both analogue and digital systems, typically in the control of BLDC motors.
• Model systems and undertake performance analysis of the selected control algorithm.
• Derive sub‑system requirements (mechanical, electronics, software).
• Identify suitable electro‑mechanical components (electric motors and feedback sensors) working cooperatively with suppliers where needed.
• Define design proving plans, design proving testing and subsequent data analysis.

Qualifications

• Experience in design and development of control algorithms for digital control systems.
• Proficiency in the MATLAB / Simulink toolset and Embedded Coder for generation of control algorithms ready for deployment within systems (ideally direct experience in the control of BLDC motors).
• Modeling of complex real world electronic and mechanical systems such as feedback sensors, motors, drivetrains and drive electronics.
• Ability to generate sub‑system or component requirements from a set of customer requirements in support of system architecture development.
• Knowledge of electric motors and drive / commutation strategies e.g., Field Oriented Control (FOC) or Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) techniques.
• Understanding of DO-178C or DO-331 standards and the code generation processes specified.

Benefits

Salary up to £70k DOE plus bonus, hybrid working and benefits. Permanent position. Location: Stevenage, Hertfordshire.
