• Design and develop embedded hardware for motor drive systems, focusing on low-voltage applications with high switching frequencies
• Develop schematics and support PCB layout for mixed-signal and power electronic circuits
• Select and integrate key components such as microcontrollers, gate drivers, power MOSFETs, SiC and GaN devices, sensing and measurement circuits, protection functions, communication interfaces, and power supplies.
• Define and implement hardware architectures for the motor drive.
• Perform design analysis and verification tests, including power stage behavior, thermal performance, and EMC considerations.
• Ensure proper integration and interface between hardware, firmware, and control systems.
• Bring up prototypes, perform debugging, root cause analysis, and Verification testing at circuit and system level.
• Develop and execute hardware verification plans, including functional, electrical, environmental, and reliability testing
• Support compliance activities related to EMC, electrical safety, and relevant industry and automotive standards
• Collaborate with the Firmware and control team in the development and test process.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and supply chain teams to support DFM, DFT, component selection, and product industrialization
• Contribute to technical documentation including requirements, schematics, design descriptions, test specifications, test reports and risk and failure analysis documentation.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Experience in embedded hardware design, ideally in areas such as motor drives, power electronics, or industrial/automotive systems.
• Solid understanding of power electronics and embedded hardware design principles. Knowledge of motor control systems (e.g., BLDC or similar) is a plus.
• Experience designing analog, digital, and power electronic circuits.
• Hands-on experience with schematic capture, PCB design support, laboratory testing, and debugging using standard lab equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers).
• Good understanding of key hardware building blocks such as gate drivers, current sensing, DC/DC converters, protection circuits, thermal design, and PCB layout practices for power electronics.
• Familiarity with communication interfaces such as CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, RS-485, or Ethernet.
• Basic understanding of EMC/EMI considerations and robust hardware design practices.
• Ability to read and create technical documentation and test specifications.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Good communication skills
• Experience with engineering design tools and simulation software.
• Work experience, knowledge of gear motors, electric motors, and drives is a plus.
• Experience with 3-phase inverter design for BLDC or PMSM motors
• Knowledge of functional safety, reliability engineering, or safety-critical development environments
• Familiarity with standards relevant to motor drives, industrial equipment, or automotive applications
• Experience with simulation tools such as LTspice, PLECS, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar
• Experience with ECAD tools such as Altium.
• Understanding of hardware-software interaction in embedded motor control systems
• Experience supporting certification, validation, and production release activities
• Exposure to environmental, vibration, thermal, and life-cycle testing
• Familiarity with agile development methodologies.
• Previous experience in electronic production environments.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunities to work on innovative, safety-critical projects.
• Professional development and leadership growth opportunities.
• A collaborative, technology-driven work environment.
