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.
