Systems Engineer (Motor Controls) - Eclectic Recruitment : Job Details

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Systems Engineer to join a multi-disciplinary design team, taking ownership of the design, development and proving of control algorithms to ensure customer performance requirements are successfully met.

This role performs the duties of developing and modelling control systems, defining requirements, and working collaboratively across engineering disciplines, reporting to senior leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

• Development of control algorithms for both analogue and digital systems, typically in the control of BLDC motors
• Modelling of systems and performance analysis of the selected control algorithm
• Derivation of sub-system requirements (mechanical, electronics, software)
• Identification of suitable electro-mechanical components (electric motors and feedback sensors) and co-ordination with suppliers where needed
• Definition of design proving plans, design proving testing and subsequent data analysis

The ideal candidate would ideally have:

• Knowledge of electric motors and drive / commutation strategies such as Field Oriented Control (FOC) or Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) techniques
• Ability to generate sub-system or component requirements from a set of customer requirements in support of system architecture development
• Understanding of DO-178C or DO-331 standards and the code generation processes specified

The ideal candidate must have:

• Experience in the design and development of control algorithms for digital control systems
• Proficiency with MATLAB / Simulink toolset and Embedded Coder for control algorithm generation, ideally with direct experience in BLDC motor control
• Ability to model complex real-world electronic and mechanical systems such as feedback sensors, motors, drivetrains, and drive electronics
• Strong communication skills with the ability to liaise across internal and external design communities at all levels

This position offers a lucrative benefits package, which includes but is not inclusive of:

• Bonus scheme (based on company performance)

• Annual pay reviews and promotion reviews (based on personal performance)
