Senior Controls Engineer

Senior Controls Engineer | Electric Propulsion

Competitive + Equity

Autonomous Systems | UAV | Defence

How do you go from controlling a single motor to controlling an autonomous vehicle?

That's ultimately the journey this role could take you on.

We're supporting a UK engineering start-up building electric propulsion technology for the next generation of autonomous systems.They've reached the point where they want to own their control technology rather than depend on supplier SDKs and existing control stacks.

That's where you come in.

Your first challenge will be taking ownership of Field-Oriented Control for their motor controllers. Understanding what's there, pulling it apart and developing their own capability from first principles.

Then things get more interesting.

We're looking for someone who's genuinely strong in:

• Field-Oriented Control / motor control
• MATLAB & Simulink
• Plant modelling from first principles
• System identification
• Model-based control
• HIL / physical testing

Experience with PMSM/BLDC motors, servo systems, robotics, gimbals, motorsport, aerospace or UAVs could all translate extremely well.

You don't need to come from defence

Youdo need to be someone who wants ownership, enjoys difficult physical control problems and would rather build the capability than integrate somebody else's.

The business is early-stage, the engineering problems are getting harder, and there's genuine opportunity to influence what gets built next.
