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

Job Title: HIL Propulsion Engineer

Location: Michigan 

Duration: Long Term

Client: Stellantis 

 
Job description:
We are seeking a proactive and technically skilled HIL, Propulsion, and Commissioning Engineer to support the development, validation, and deployment of propulsion control systems. This role involves working with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) platforms, electric or hybrid propulsion systems, and overseeing on-site commissioning activities for vehicle or equipment launches.
You will be a key contributor in ensuring that propulsion systems meet functional, safety, and performance requirements from lab validation through to field deployment.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and maintain HIL setups for testing propulsion system ECUs and control logic.
  • Simulate propulsion system components (motors, inverters, batteries, etc.) using real-time platforms like dSPACE, NI VeriStand, or Speedgoat.
  • Execute model-based testing and validation using MATLAB/Simulink and integrate with HIL test automation.
  • Conduct commissioning of propulsion systems on vehicles, test benches, or industrial platforms.
  • Interface with cross-functional teams for system calibration, fault injection, and troubleshooting.
  • Support safety validation, performance tuning, and integration of propulsion subsystems (motor controllers, BMS, etc.).
  • Analyze logs and test data to identify root causes and propose design improvements.
  • Ensure compliance with safety and industry standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, etc. as applicable).
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related discipline.
  • 3+ years of experience with HIL systems, propulsion systems, or commissioning activities.
  • Proficient in MATLAB/Simulink for control system modeling and testing.
  • Understanding of electric drive systems, power electronics, and motor control strategies.
  • Familiarity with communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, Modbus, or PROFIBUS.
  • Strong hands-on experience with testing tools like CANoe, CANalyzer, or similar.
  • Ability to travel for on-site commissioning and system integration
