Electrical Engineer – Motor Control, Embedded Systems & Power Electronics

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and support advanced motor control and power electronics used in subsea and electromechanical products. This hands-on role is ideal for engineers with experience developing brushless motor drives, embedded hardware, PCB designs, and motion control systems in a manufacturing environment.

You will collaborate with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, procurement, suppliers, and customers to bring products from concept through production while supporting continuous product improvement.

Responsibilities

• Design electrical systems for electromechanical products including motors, actuators, sensors, and power electronics.
• Develop brushless motor drivers and supporting analog and digital circuitry.
• Design embedded hardware utilizing microcontrollers, PWM, ADCs, DACs, and serial communication interfaces.
• Create schematics, PCB layouts, bills of materials (BOMs), and prototype hardware.
• Perform circuit validation, troubleshooting, laboratory testing, and product verification.
• Improve existing designs for performance, manufacturability, reliability, and cost.
• Support manufacturing during product assembly, testing, and production launch.
• Prepare electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly instructions, and engineering documentation.
• Lead or participate in design reviews, DFMEA/PFMEA activities, and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
• Serve as Project Engineer for custom development projects, coordinating technical execution, schedules, and customer communication.
• Provide technical support to customers and travel occasionally when required.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
• 5–10 years of electrical engineering experience in a manufacturing or product development environment.
• Experience designing brushless motor control systems and three-phase motor drive electronics.
• Strong knowledge of power electronics including MOSFETs, IGBTs, gate drivers, and power stage design.
• Experience designing embedded hardware using microcontrollers and mixed-signal circuitry.
• Experience with PCB schematic capture, layout, prototype development, and hardware testing.
• Understanding of embedded systems including PWM, ADC, DAC, timers, and serial communication interfaces.
• Experience creating BOMs and supporting prototype builds through production.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating across engineering, manufacturing, and customer-facing teams.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience using Altium Designer.
• Experience designing electromechanical systems such as actuators, propulsion systems, robotics, industrial automation equipment, or subsea products.
• Knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM), ERP/MRP systems, ECO processes, and product lifecycle management.
• Experience leading design reviews, DFMEA/PFMEA, and manufacturing handoffs.
• Experience supervising prototype assembly or supporting technicians during integration and testing.
