What you will do

• Design and develop half-bridge and H-bridge coil driver amplifiers for distributed motion control architectures operating at DC bus voltages up to 200V.
• Develop closed-loop current control systems with precision sensing, PI/PID loops, and low-latency feedback across coils with varying inductance.
• Implement or co-develop FPGA-based current-loop algorithms, high-performance PWM generation, and multi-channel SPI interfaces.
• Develop driver modules within distributed EtherCAT networks and collaborate on control partitioning between central controllers and distributed nodes.
• Select MOSFETs, gate drivers, sensing, protection, and filtering components; guide PCB layout for high-current switching and noise-sensitive analog circuits.
• Define and execute design verification testing while improving cost, thermal efficiency, reliability, noise performance, and scalability.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• At least 6 years of experience in power electronics design.
• Strong expertise in MOSFET-based half-bridge or full-bridge power stages and medium-voltage DC systems up to approximately 200V.
• Hands-on experience with shunt and differential-amplifier current sensing and PI/PID control-loop design.
• Experience designing for EMI/EMC robustness, thermal performance, reliability, and failure analysis.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, hardware debugging, leadership, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Nice to have

• Experience with FPGA-based control systems, including Lattice, Xilinx, or Zynq platforms.
• Familiarity with EtherCAT or other distributed real-time control networks.
• Experience with BLDC or SRM motor drives, electromagnetic or multi-coil actuators, high-channel-count systems, or real-time embedded control architectures.

Culture & Benefits

• Collaborative work across electrical, controls, and systems engineering.
• Medical, dental, vision, and disability insurance.
• 401(k) plan.
• Company-paid holidays and flexible vacation for exempt employees, subject to eligibility requirements.
• Equal-opportunity and inclusive workplace.
