Application Software Engineer ( Motor Control)

Job Description:

The engineer is responsible for implementation of embedded software for automotive motor control systems such as Engine Cooling Fans, HVAC blowers, Vehicle Control Unit and Traction drives. This role requires strong knowledge of Control Algorithms for motor, Customer Interface C User Logic, Diagnostic Functions, Communication Protocols (e.g. PWM, LIN, CAN, SPI) and Controller Peripherals (e.g. timers, ADCs, counter)

Specific duties and responsibilities

1. Architecture C Design

•  Concept and design of software architecture in coordination with the electronics development team.
•  Knowledge of architecture tools used in automotive development like Enterprise Architect.

2. Motor Control Algorithms

a. Strong knowledge of control-algorithm such as: • Field-Oriented Control (FOC) • PWM generation • Torque/Speed Control loops • Current / Power Control • Sensor-less estimation techniques (Kalman Filter, Observers)

3. Embedded Software Development 

Knowledge of platform development includes:

•  Hardware abstraction layers
•  Motor drivers, timers, ADCs, interrupts
•  Communication interfaces (CAN, LIN, SPI)
•  Implementation and test of software components.
•  Analysis of customer requirements for software.

• Target microcontrollers (Infineon, NXP, Renesas, TI)
• Review C/C++ code for quality, MISRA compliance and performance.

4. Standards C Safety 

Knowledge of automotive standards and safety: • ISO 26262 Functional Safety • ASPICE Level 2/3 • MISRA C Guidelines • Cybersecurity (ISO 21434) • Support safety analyses (HARA, QSA, DFA, FTA and FMEA).

knowledge and skills

1. Working experience of Modulation Techniques like Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM), Harmonic Injection, Field Weakening, Maximum Torque Per Ampere (MTPA) etc.
2.  Working experience of Control Systems Strategies e.g. P, PI, PID
3.  Working experience of 3-phase Current Measurement and reconstruction using Single Shunt method
4.  Working experience of Fourier Transformation, Laplace Transformation and Transfer Functions and State Space Working experience with microcontrollers like NXP S12Z, Infineon TLE987x, S32K1/K3 and Gate drivers like Infineon TLE9180, Texas Instrument DRV3256, DRV8363, UCC27712, UCC21530.
