We are looking for a Model-Based Development Engineer with strong experience in control laws, electric motor control, traction inverters, electrical inverters, and field-oriented control. The candidate will be responsible for developing, simulating, validating, and supporting embedded control software for inverter and motor-drive applications using MATLAB/Simulink and related model-based development tools.
The role requires a strong understanding of power electronics, electric machines, control algorithms, and embedded software development for real-time control systems.
Develop and maintain control algorithms for electrical inverters, traction inverters, and motor-drive systems.
Design and implement motor control strategies such as Field-Oriented Control, torque control, speed control, current control, and voltage control.
Develop control laws for power electronics and electric drive applications.
Build, simulate, and validate models using MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow.
Perform model-based design activities including simulation, MIL, SIL, and HIL testing.
Generate embedded code from Simulink models using tools such as Embedded Coder.
Support integration of control algorithms into embedded targets and inverter control platforms.
Analyze system behavior, tune control loops, and optimize controller performance.
Work on current sensing, position/speed feedback, PWM generation, SVPWM, protection logic, and fault handling.
Develop and validate control software for PMSM, induction motors, or other traction motor technologies.
Support inverter commissioning, calibration, debugging, and testing on test benches or real hardware.
Collaborate with hardware, software, systems, and testing teams.
Prepare technical documentation, design descriptions, test reports, and calibration guidelines.
Ensure compliance with applicable software development processes, coding guidelines, and quality standards.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Control Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field.
Strong experience with MATLAB/Simulink for model-based design.
Good knowledge of electric motor control and inverter control systems.
Practical understanding of FOC, Clarke/Park transformations, PI controllers, PWM, SVPWM, and control loop tuning.
Knowledge of electrical inverters, traction inverters, DC-link systems, gate driving concepts, and power electronics basics.
Experience with real-time embedded control systems.
Ability to read and understand electrical schematics, control block diagrams, and system requirements.
Good understanding of sensors used in motor control, such as current sensors, voltage sensors, encoders, resolvers, and Hall sensors.
Experience with simulation, debugging, calibration, and validation of control algorithms.
Experience with PMSM, induction motor, or synchronous reluctance motor control.
Experience with IEC6108, ISO 26262, MISRA C, or automotive software development processes.
Experience with code generation using Simulink Embedded Coder.
Experience with MIL, SIL, PIL, or HIL validation environments.
Experience with tools such as dSPACE, Vector CANoe, ETAS INCA, CANalyzer, or similar.
Knowledge of CAN, CAN FD, UDS, or automotive communication protocols.
Experience with inverter protection features such as overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature, desaturation, and safe shutdown.
