Senior Motor Control Engineer

Job Posted: 6 days ago

Salary: £ 65,000 - 75,000 / Annum
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Arundel, West Sussex

Expire in: 22 days

Job Description

A growing UK engineering business that designs and manufactures high-performance motor drive solutions (up to ~1MW) is looking for a Motor Control Engineer to join its product development team. If you enjoy taking algorithms from model → firmware → hardware testing, this role will give you real ownership across the full control stack.

You'll work on next-generation motor drive products, collaborating closely with power electronics and test teams to deliver robust, production-ready control performance

What you'll be doing

Developing and improving motor control algorithms for Induction Motors and PMSM / BLDC drives (e.g. FOC, sensorless/sensored control, observers, torque/speed loops)
Implementing real-time control features in Embedded C on MCU/DSP platforms (bare metal and/or RTOS depending on product line)
Building and maintaining MATLAB/Simulink models for development, verification and rapid prototyping
Supporting new AC/AC technology development (concepts, feasibility, productisation)
Working alongside power electronics engineers on inverter/control interfaces: 
PWM generation, ADC sampling/synchronisation
Current/voltage sensing, protections
Debugging, tuning and validating on real hardware (bench/integration testing, fault reproduction & resolution)
Designing robust safety/behaviour strategies: fault handling, derating, thermal/current limiting, protective trips
Producing clear engineering documentation (design notes, test reports, release notes)
Supporting best practices (reviews, testing approach) and mentoring as needed

What we're looking for (must-have)

Strong, hands-on experience delivering motor control in an embedded product environment (Induction and/or PMSM/BLDC)
Professional Embedded C development for real-time control systems
Solid control fundamentals: control loops, stability, discretisation, sampling/PWM timing, numerical precision (fixed vs float)
MATLAB/Simulink modelling/simulation for algorithm validation
Confident working in the lab with scopes/analysers and debugging across the HW/FW boundary
Clear communication and ownership mindset in cross-functional engineering teams

Nice-to-haves

Exposure to power electronics (inverter topologies, gate drives, sensing, EMI/EMC constraints)
EMC/EMI testing experience and working to industrial/automotive standards
Technical leadership/mentoring on embedded control projects
PhD (advantageous, not essential)
