Trainee Motor Control Engineer information

What is the difference between Trainee Motor Control Engineer vs Electrical Engineering Intern?

AspectTrainee Motor Control EngineerElectrical Engineering Intern
CredentialsTypically pursuing or holding a degree in electrical or control engineeringUsually undergraduate students in electrical engineering or related fields
Work EnvironmentHands-on training in motor control systems, automation labs, manufacturing plantsAssisting in electrical design, testing, and research projects in labs or offices
Industry UsageCommon in automation, robotics, manufacturing sectors

The Trainee Motor Control Engineer focuses specifically on motor control systems and automation, often requiring specialized knowledge in control theory and electrical systems. In contrast, an Electrical Engineering Intern has a broader scope, gaining experience across various electrical disciplines. Both roles serve as entry points into the electrical industry, but the Trainee Motor Control Engineer role is more specialized towards motor control applications.

Job description

Title: Drive Controls Engineer – Locomotive and OHV Systems

Location: Wabtec Freight, Erie, PA

Job Description:

We’re looking for a dynamic Drives Control Engineer to be responsible for all tasks and deliverables related to locomotive, OHV propulsion and auxiliary drive control system development, including control algorithm design, software requirements development, model-based implementation, integration, verification, and validation activities. The Drives Control Engineer will work closely with Wabtec Systems, Software, Power Electronics, and Verification teams to develop, maintain, and enhance locomotive drive control functionality.

Responsibilities:

-   Work cross functionally to identify and capture requirements and execute the design of drive control systems.

-   Develop detailed control designs and define critical interfaces connecting propulsion, braking, auxiliary, and supervisory systems.

-   Develop robust test vectors, execute desktop simulation testing, and support Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) verification environments.

-   Interface/work with other engineering teams during developmental stages to ensure successful integration with the function of heavy electrical componentry.

-  Manage the full-cycle design and development of new drive control system features.  Including the build, simulation, and modification of model-based control architectures using MATLAB/Simulink and Stateflow.

-   Use creativity to find solutions for design modifications and troubleshooting of drive control systems.

-   Directly assist and support engineering lab and field validation testing.

Desired Skills:

-   Experience in using (C++, C, MATLAB, etc), with knowledge of various other common languages (including vintage languages).

-   An understanding of control logic function and its interaction between major electrical components.

-   The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

-   Past design experience working with embedded architectures, combined with a strong ability to read, analyze, and map legacy C/C++ control code back into modern control models.

-   Deep understanding of motor control algorithms, converter/inverter topologies, torque/speed regulation, and power electronics management.

-   Ability to create engineering experiments and execute testing to create workable solutions for drive controls systems.

-   Background designing protection functions, fail-safes, and complex embedded diagnostic/fault management loops.

-   Additional experience/knowledge with locomotive embedded systems design a plus.

Qualifications/Requirements:

Bachelor of Science in Electrical, Computer Science or a Technical Discipline with 3 to 6 years of related experience.

Benefits:

Phoenix Technical Solutions offers an attractive compensation and benefits package; including health, dental, vision, STD, LTD, Life, IRA with generous company match, paid holidays, vacation and more.  Our global commitment to technological advancement offers opportunities for personal growth and development in a stable, supportive work environment.
