Analyze motor and inverter performance and develop solutions to improve efficiency, torque response, NVH performance, thermal performance, stability, and overall system reliability.7. Support the development and optimization of motor-control software throughout the product lifecycle, from requirements definition and algorithm development through testing, calibration, validation, and production release.8. Troubleshoot and resolve complex motor-control, embedded software, and system-level issues using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, data acquisition systems, and automotive calibration tools.9. Perform software and algorithm design reviews and ensure that motor-control implementations meet applicable automotive, functional, performance, quality, and software development requirements.10. Collaborate with systems, software, hardware, testing, calibration, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to ensure successful integration of motor-control systems into EV products.11. Develop technical documentation, including software requirements, control specifications, algorithm descriptions, flowcharts, state diagrams, design documentation, test plans, and validation reports.12. Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers and contribute to the development of motor-control engineering standards, methodologies, and best practices.13. Stay current with emerging technologies in EV propulsion systems, motor-control algorithms, power electronics, embedded control, automotive software, and advanced control techniques, and evaluate their potential application to future products.14. Support customer and vehicle-level engineering activities, including technical discussions, testing, troubleshooting, and product demonstrations. Approximately 10% travel may be required.Technical Competencies1. Strong knowledge of electric motor theory and motor-control principles.2.
