What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Engineer position at C-Motive Technologies?
Fathom Recruitment has teamed up with C-Motive to bring you another great opportunity!
Are you a motor controls expert looking for an opportunity to innovate and put your hands on a world-changing technology? C-Motive, a startup in Middleton, Wisconsin, is seeking a Motor Controls Engineer to join our rapidly expanding team.
In this newly created role, you would assist C-Motive in commercializing a patented electrostatic motor technology with a focus on sustainability and efficiency. This technology, which was developed at UW-Madison, is projected to be the first of its kind on the market and has the potential to save a gigaton of carbon in the next decade.
The Motor Controls Engineer will be responsible for architecting and developing the control systems for C-Motive's electrostatic motor drives. This role requires a strong background in linear systems analysis and controller design, along with proficiency in tools like MATLAB/Simulink. With this role, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate motor control solutions into larger motor/drive systems.
What you will do:
- Develop control algorithms, write embedded firmware in C/C , and create simulation models.
- Perform bench and in-vehicle testing and troubleshoot system issues.
- Write, test, and debug embedded C/C code for motor controllers and Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs).
- Develop performance models in MATLAB/Simulink to simulate and analyze motor and system performance.
Who you are:
- A master's or PhD in electrical engineering/computer science with an emphasis on machine and power electronics control systems is required.
- The ideal candidate will have at least 10 years of experience in high-performance motor and/or multilevel power converter control systems.
- A strong understanding of AC and DC motor types, drive systems, and control theory is necessary.
- Experience with PID loop control strategies and knowledge of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) schemes are important.
- The candidate should have hands-on experience with closed-loop vector control, whether sensor-based or sensorless.
- Past design experience implementing motor control strategies for various motor types, such as Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) or Field-Oriented Control (FOC), is also desired.
Why work with us:
- C-Motive offers a generous benefits package, including a "take-what-you-need" paid time off program, paid parental leave, a 401k program, and stock options.
- The company is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating an inclusive and diverse environment.
