Job summary

Dexmate is seeking an Embedded Motor Controls Engineer in Fremont to develop real-time firmware that makes robot actuators precise and reliable. You will own motor-control implementation, encoder integration, servo tuning, communications and fault handling on real hardware.

This hands-on role involves bench work, testing on actuators, and coordinating with the drive and electronics teams to deliver reproducible firmware releases and calibration procedures for production.

Qualifications

Strong embedded C or C++ skills and real-time firmware on MCUs or DSPs.
Experience with encoder feedback, ADC and PWM timing; RTOS or bare-metal.
Ability to read schematics and debug with scopes and logic analyzers.

Responsibilities

Implement and validate field-oriented control for PMSM or BLDC motors, including current-loop timing and PWM calibration.
Develop torque, speed and position control, tune servo response and diagnose issues on real hardware.
Integrate encoders and feedback sensors, including alignment, calibration, timing and fault detection.
Build deterministic command and telemetry interfaces using the CAN/CAN FD or EtherCAT bus.
Implement current, voltage and thermal limits, derating and fault recovery with the drive engineer and actuator lead.
Develop automated bench and HIL tests with validation engineers; maintain reproducible firmware releases, diagnostics and production calibration procedures.
