• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls, Mechatronics, Robotics or related field.
• 3+ years of industry experience designing and tuning motor control on real hardware.
• Shipped motor control with field-oriented control on PMSM/BLDC in production.
• Strong command of PMSM modelling in the dq frame and space-vector PWM.
• Hands-on motor parameter identification and encoder/Hall/resolver calibration.
• Dynamometer experience measuring torque constants, efficiency, torque ripple.
• Ability to read embedded C/C++ and trace control behavior in code.

Responsibilities

• Design, simulate, tune and validate motor control for REVO2 PMSM/BLDC family.
• Ensure safe torque-off behavior and fault handling within limits.
• Translate FE results into control-oriented models and feed findings back to design.
• Collaborate with electrical and firmware teams to bring control strategies into production.
• Validate performance on dynamometer and full robot.
