This position is perfect for a highly driven and creative professional with a passion for making EVs more efficient. We have a disruptive motor in development that we believe will make cars lighter, more efficient and quieter. We need your help building ultra high-performance controls to match the capabilities of the physical motor.

We need your help to drive real EV improvements, helping to reduce GHG emissions and better driver experience. The role motor controls play in EV development cannot be overstated. We are pushing through development of a new axial flux motor topology and need controls implemented in a way to maximize performance.

We’re going to change the EV landscape and help the environment while doing so, if this sounds like a movement you want to help lead, this is the role for you. Minimum BEng in Electrical, Controls, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field.



Minimum 7 years of experience in electric motor controls development, preferably within the automotive industry.

Demonstrated experience developing, simulating, implementing, and validating motor control algorithms for electric drives.

Experience developing motor control algorithms including FOC, sensorless control, observers/state estimation, field weakening, and torque/speed control.

Experience with PWM strategies including Space Vector PWM, Sine PWM, and discontinuous modulation techniques. Strong understanding of motor drive systems, including motors, inverters, sensors, and power electronics. Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink for control algorithm development, simulation, and validation.

Experience implementing and debugging control algorithms on embedded real-time systems (e.g. TI C2000 DSPs) using C coding and/or Simulink Code Generation.

Experience with source control and collaborative development tools such as Git, GitLab, or GitHub. Hands-on experience troubleshooting and validating motor control systems using dynamometers, SIL, PIL, and HIL. Hands-on experience with laboratory and test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power analyzers, current probes, DAQ systems, and dynamometer instrumentation.

Experience in integrating motor control functions with sensors, ECUs, and power electronics Proven ability to solve complex technical problems, drive controls development independently, and provide technical mentorship to junior engineers. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used to screen, assess, or select applicants for this position. Accommodations for disabilities in relation to the job selection process are available upon request. #
