What is a Dyno Tuning job?

A Dyno Tuning job involves optimizing a vehicle's engine performance using a dynamometer (dyno). The dyno measures horsepower, torque, and air-fuel ratios while adjustments are made to improve power, efficiency, and drivability. This process ensures the engine runs at its best by fine-tuning the ECU (engine control unit) settings, ignition timing, and fuel delivery. Dyno tuning is commonly used for performance vehicles, modified engines, or to maximize fuel efficiency and reliability.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Dyno Tuning position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Dyno Tuning, expertise in automotive mechanics, engine performance, and fuel management is crucial, typically acquired through technical training or ASE certification. Familiarity with dynamometers, engine management software, and diagnostic tools like wideband oxygen sensors is essential for precise calibration tasks. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication with both team members and customers set top performers apart. These skills ensure accurate tuning, customer satisfaction, and optimal engine performance in a safe workshop environment.

What does a typical day look like for someone working in Dyno Tuning?

A typical day for a Dyno Tuning specialist involves inspecting and preparing vehicles, setting up the dynamometer, and running controlled engine tests to evaluate performance metrics. You'll analyze data using specialized software, make real-time adjustments to fuel and ignition mappings, and collaborate with mechanics or performance specialists to troubleshoot issues. Customer consultations are common, as you'll often explain findings and recommend performance modifications. The role blends hands-on technical work with problem-solving and requires excellent communication to ensure that modifications meet client expectations and safety standards.

Position Overview
Analog Devices' Advanced Physical Technology (APT) group is seeking a Principal Motion System Engineer to architect and lead the development of next-generation robotic motion systems. In this high-impact role, you'll drive the system-level hardware design and integration of advanced motor drive, actuation, and sensing solutions for real-world robotics applications. We're looking for someone with a proven track record delivering innovative motion systems at scale, ideally in leading robotics or automation companies.
You'll set the direction for high-performance robotic BLDC/PMSM drive hardware, power electronics (including GaN FET-based motor drivers), and sensor fusion. You will partner closely with cross-disciplinary teams from concept through productization. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of robotics at the system level with ADI's strong IC solutions.
Key Responsibilities
  • Architect and deliver system-level motion hardware for robotics platforms, integrating motor drives, advanced power electronics (including GaN), and sensors.
  • Lead the hardware/firmware co-design for high-performance actuation, including HW structures, embedded control, safety, and diagnostic features.
  • Set technical strategy and best practices for system integration, validation, and robust field deployment in demanding environments.
  • Define and implement requirements, interfaces, and system safety cases in partnership with firmware, software, and mechanical teams.
  • Mentor and collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure seamless hardware-software integration and verification.
  • Drive innovation in EMI/EMC mitigation, reliability, and certification for motion subsystems.

Ideal Experience & Skills
  • Significant hands-on experience developing robotic motion systems in industry-leading companies.
  • Deep expertise in system-level hardware design for motor drives (BLDC/PMSM), power electronics (with GaN FET-based topologies), and multi-modal sensor integration.
  • Proven ability to translate product vision into robust, production-quality architectures and platforms.
  • Strong understanding of firmware/embedded development for real-time control and diagnostics.
  • Track record of delivering motion hardware that meets stringent reliability, safety, and compliance requirements (including functional safety and EMI/EMC).
  • Leadership in system integration, verification, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Minimum Qualifications
  • MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Mechatronics, or related field.
  • Extensive, recent experience in embedded controls and hardware for robotic motor drives or complex power electronics systems.
  • Demonstrated success delivering innovative motion platforms with closed-loop validation and field deployment.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Leadership roles in architecting or scaling advanced robotic hardware platforms with real-world experience with GaN FET-based inverters, actuation mechanism design, and sensor fusion.
  • MCU motor-control expertise: Advanced timers, center-aligned PWM, ADC-injected sampling, DMA, capture/compare, and fault inputs; interrupt latency management and fixed-point math.
  • Power electronics & drivers: Three-phase inverter design, gate driver tuning, snubber design, current sensing topologies, DC link design, and motor-side filtering.
  • GaN (Plus): Layout and drive techniques for high dv/dt switching, Miller mitigation, and double-pulse testing.
  • Advanced expertise in:
    • FOC and commutation algorithm design and tuning (simulation, HIL, dyno).
    • PWM/ADC synchronization, DMA pipelines, and real-time control loops on MAX/STM MCUs.
    • Three-phase inverter design, gate driver configuration, and board bring-up.
    • System identification, parameter estimation, and implementation of sensorless observers.
    • Robust fault handling, diagnostics, and EMI/EMC mitigation.
    • Automated verification (e.g., Simulink Test, scripted test benches).
    • Documentation supporting certification pathways.
