Motor Drive & Power Electronics Engineer, Robotics
Fremont Office. Posted 10 days ago
The role
You will own the inverter hardware that powers Dexmate actuators. You will develop motor-drive circuits and PCBs from architecture through bench bring-up and production release.
What you will do
- Define inverter architecture and electrical operating limits.
- Design power stages, gate drivers, DC-link components, sensing, and protection circuits.
- Own schematics, PCB layout, component selection, and design reviews.
- Bring up hardware with embedded controls engineers.
- Verify switching behavior, sensing accuracy, losses, and safe responses to electrical faults.
- Develop bench characterization for efficiency, current capability, and thermal performance.
- Apply EMI/EMC principles and support pre-compliance testing.
- Prepare production documentation and test requirements.
- Work with manufacturers and electrical test engineers to resolve failures and improve manufacturability.
Required qualifications
- Designed and brought up a BLDC, PMSM or servo inverter or motor-drive product on real hardware.
- Strong power-electronics fundamentals, including switching devices, gate drive, current measurement, PCB layout and protection.
- Hands-on schematic and PCB experience with an industry-standard EDA tool.
- Strong oscilloscope, current-probe and power-analysis skills.
- Working knowledge of field-oriented control and motor characteristics sufficient to co-design hardware and debug with firmware engineers.
Nice to have
- Experience with high-density robot or servo drives, thermally constrained layouts and production release.
- EMI/EMC pre-compliance, fault-injection testing or functional-safety-related hardware development.
- Python-based test automation or familiarity with motor-control firmware at the hardware interface.
