Senior Real-Time Motor Control Firmware Engineer

SR2; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

SR2 in Austin, TX seeks an embedded firmware engineer focused on motor control to join a small team. You will own firmware from silicon to control loop, collaborating with hardware and systems teams to ensure seamless integration and reliability.

You will design real-time motor control firmware, optimize for latency and robustness, and validate performance on lab benches and in real-world conditions with a drive toward high-performance motor systems.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in embedded firmware development with a focus on motor control systems.
• Strong experience with real-time control loops and BLDC/PMSM motors, motor drivers, and power electronics.
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems and experience with microcontrollers such as STM32, TI C2000, or similar.
• Strong debugging skills using hardware lab tools including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power analyzers.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement embedded firmware in C/C++ for real-time motor control, including high-frequency control loops, deterministic system behavior, and control algorithms (PID, FOC).
• Work closely with electrical engineers to bring up motor control boards, including debugging power stages, gate drivers, and sensor feedback systems.
• Use lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power analyzers to validate performance and troubleshoot control, timing, and signal integrity issues.
• Optimize firmware for latency, efficiency, and reliability in hardware-constrained environments; conduct lab and field testing to validate motor performance under real-world operating conditions.
