Senior Electrical Engineer – Motion Control & Power Electronics

Our client is seeking an Electrical Engineer III to design, develop, and support electronics for motion‑control and electromechanical systems used in demanding environments. This role focuses on brushless motor control, power electronics, embedded hardware, and PCB development. The engineer will collaborate closely with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and customer‑facing teams to deliver high‑performance products such as propulsion systems, actuators, and electro‑hydraulic assemblies.

This position includes participation in technical discussions, design reviews, and customer interactions, and requires strong ownership of product development from concept through production.

Onsite | No Visa Sponsorship | Relocation Assistance: Limited

Work Schedule: Mon-Fri | 8AM-5PM

Compensation: $120,000–$150,000 (higher for exceptional candidates)

Please Note: Only candidates who currently reside within a reasonable 45–60 minute commute will be considered. Limited relocation assistance is available for candidates able to self‑relocate quickly

Responsibilities

• Provide remote technical support to customers; occasional travel required.
• Perform schematic capture, PCB layout, BOM creation, and prototype testing.
• Improve existing designs for performance, manufacturability, and cost efficiency.
• Develop brushless motor drivers, three‑phase power stages, and supporting circuitry.
• Lead or participate in customer technical discussions, design reviews, and project updates.
• Support manufacturing during assembly, testing, troubleshooting, and product integration.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to define specifications, analyses, and test procedures.
• Serve as Project Engineer for custom projects, ensuring schedule, budget, and technical compliance.
• Supervise and support electromechanical technicians during circuit board assembly and system integration.
• Provide detailed technical documentation including wiring diagrams, assembly instructions, and test procedures.
• Support integration of electromechanical devices such as rotary/linear actuators, hydraulic pumps, and propulsion systems.
• Design and implement electrical systems for electromechanical equipment including thrusters, actuators, sensors, and propulsion assemblies.
