Job description
ePropelled is the leader in magnetic engineering innovations that dramatically improve electric motor and generator efficiency for propulsion applications such as aviation, aerospace and electric vehicles. ePropelled is looking for a skilled “hands on” senior Software engineer with experience in the design of motor controllers for its line of high efficiency brushless motor/generators for use in a variety of applications. The ideal candidate will have successful experience taking high power motor controller design projects from concept to manufacturing. Familiarity with a variety of software simulation tools is also desired.
Responsibilities
- Develop motor control software design concepts in support of system requirements.
- Create technical documentation, i.e. concept documents, system functional and design specifications, technical specifications and test reports for all designs.
- Develop firmware/software for embedded processors and DSP based motor controller/power system to support required features.
- Implement motor control firmware based on sensor-less FOC principles. Understand and create control methods and algorithms for controlling Brushless motors and their systems.
- Expert knowledge of Sensor-less torque control and closed loop position control
- Experience with sensor based control desired
- Implement software based digital filtering for sensor monitoring
- Develop control models in Matlab/Simulink.
Requirements and Skills
