- Bonus Qualifications
- Experience with power electronics — DC-DC converters, switching regulators, battery management
- Familiarity with current sensing, encoder interfaces, and motor feedback circuits
- Experience with small form factor boards (HDI, flex, rigid-flex)
- Embedded programming of microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs for motor control applications
- Experience with LTspice or similar simulation tools
- Background in robotics, automotive, drone, or other motor-driven systems
- The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $120,000 - $250,000 annually.
