Senior Motor Control Engineer

Overview

As Senior Motor Control Engineer, you design, develop, and test advanced motor control algorithms for PMAC, IPM, Induction, SynRM, and SRM. You build dynamic models in MATLAB/Simulink and related tools, validate performance, and support cross-functional teams to meet safety and quality standards. You drive novel algorithms and real-time embedded software work, contributing to traction-drive applications. This role blends research, validation, and practical implementation to advance Turntide’s sustainable energy mission.

Responsibilities

• Design, development and testing of motor control algorithms for PMAC (including IPM), Induction, SynRM, and SRM, plus vehicle control schemes
• Develop dynamic system simulation models using MATLAB/Simulink, Simscape, and related tools; model motor, inverter, and system performance to target specs; create testing procedures
• Research and develop high-performance motor control algorithms; conduct motor characterization and controller sign-off
• Provide technical support to applications, validation, software, and sales; review requirements and specify design/test needs; document architectures and high-level designs; produce user guides and white papers
• Develop software modules in C and Python; ensure adherence to quality and safety procedures; translate specifications into software
• Ensure safe work practices and compliance with 5S; communicate findings, issues, and project status to internal customers

Key requirements
