Contract
On-site
Salt Lake, Utah, United States
$63 - $67 USD hourly

Pay Range: $63.00hr - $67.00hr

Job Overview:

Help develop advanced motion control and power electronics solutions. In this role, the candidate will design and support hardware for servo systems, brushless motor drives, and inverter-based power stages used in high-performance applications. This is an opportunity to work across the full product lifecycle β€” from concept and architecture through design, test, integration, qualification, and production β€” while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions.

Work Environment:

Office/Cubical or Production floor/lab environment (Flexible depending upon the needs of the project).

Responsibilities:

  • Design hardware for brushless 3-phase motor drives, inverter circuits, and servo control systems.
  • Develop analog, digital, and power electronics schematics for circuit card assemblies.
  • Support hardware bring-up, debug, integration, verification, and production transition.
  • Apply control theory concepts such as PID and compensation techniques to motion control designs.
  • Develop interfaces for encoders, resolvers, actuators, and related feedback devices.
  • Use simulation and modeling tools such as MATLAB/Simulink and LTspice to validate designs.
  • Partner with systems, mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and test engineers to ensure successful product execution.
  • Support communication interfaces such as CAN bus and EtherCAT, as needed.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 6+ years of relevant experience; or Graduate degree with 4+ years of related experience; or 10+ years of directly related experience in lieu of a degree.

Preferred Skills:

  • Proven track record of designs that include motor drives, servo systems, and power electronics hardware design.
  • Knowledge of stepper motors, motion control systems, or actuator test setups.
  • Familiarity with C, C++, or VHDL.
  • Experience with schematic capture and simulation tools such as Mentor Graphics and SPICE.
  • Strong lab debugging and test experience with standard electrical lab equipment.
  • Experience in military, aerospace, ruggedized, or high-reliability product environments.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills and ability to work effectively on cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. DoD security clearance is a plus.
