Full Job Description
**Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or U.S. Permanent Residents (Green Card holders) to meet customer and regulatory requirements**
Role Summary:
We are hiring an entry-level Motion Control Engineer to help build and maintain the embedded firmware that powers our motion control and motor drive products. This role is built for someone with a strong software/firmware foundation - solid C, an instinct for clean system architecture - who is eager to grow into motor control and control-loop design in a fast-paced aerospace environment. You'll work alongside experienced controls and firmware engineers, turning control concepts into robust, production-quality embedded code.
What you'll do:
Design, implement, and maintain embedded firmware for motion control and motor drive products, primarily in C.
Contribute to system architecture decisions for control firmware modules, with an eye toward maintainability, testability, and real-time performance.
Translate control algorithms into well-structured, production-quality firmware, working closely with senior engineering staff.
Participate in code reviews, static analysis, and unit/integration testing to uphold firmware quality standards.
Support bring-up, debug, and validation of control firmware on hardware in the lab.
Document firmware architecture, module interfaces, and design decisions.
Assist in specifying and executing firmware verification test plans.
What you need:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
2-4 years of professional experience in embedded firmware development related to Motion Control.
Strong proficiency in C, with a solid grasp of firmware/software architecture principles (modularity, abstraction layers, state machines).
Familiarity with embedded systems fundamentals: microcontrollers, interrupts, timers, and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN).
Strong problem-solving skills and a genuine interest in learning control theory and motor control fundamentals on the job.
Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and collaborative software development workflows.
Nice to Haves:
Exposure to motor control concepts (field-oriented control, PWM generation, current/position sensing).
Familiarity with motion control loop design and digital filter design (PI/PID tuning, notch/biquad filters, Bode/FRF analysis).
Experience with an RTOS (FreeRTOS, ThreadX, or similar).
Familiarity with model-based design or code-generation workflows (e.g., Simulink/Embedded Coder).
Exposure to unit testing frameworks for embedded C (Unity, CppUTest, or similar).
Coursework or project experience in feedback control systems.
Export Control:
This role supports aerospace programs and may involve export-controlled information or hardware. Candidates must be able to comply with applicable export control laws and access requirements.
What we have to offer:
We are not just building components. We are reshaping the future of the Aerospace and Defense component industry, which is a $300B+ market! Come join us and help build next generation systems that will make a massive impact at global scale.
We offer competitive compensation: $120,000 to $140,000 base salary + equity
Exceptional healthcare benefits, Medical is 100% covered by the company
