Automotive Automation Mechatronics Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Mechatronics & Embedded Systems Engineer responsible for motor calibration, mechanical-electronic system integration, PCB quality enhancement, firmware optimization, and robust communication architecture development. The role demands strong cross-disciplinary expertise in electromechanical systems, embedded firmware, and wireless communication protocols. This position requires hands-on execution capability, system-level thinking, and ownership from prototyping to validation. --- Key Responsibilities 1. Motor Control & Calibration - Calibrate and tune BLDC motors (FOC / trapezoidal control). - Develop and optimize motor control algorithms. - Perform current sensing, torque tuning, PID optimization, and efficiency improvement. - Analyze motor performance using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and diagnostic tools. - Implement protection mechanisms (overcurrent, thermal, stall detection). 2. Mechanical-Electronic Integration - Design and validate electromechanical assemblies. - Improve structural rigidity and alignment in dynamic systems. - Conduct vibration analysis and stress considerations for field deployment. - Ensure mechanical reliability without compromising electrical performance. 3. PCB Design & Hardware Optimization - Improve PCB layout quality (signal integrity, EMI/EMC reduction, grounding strategy). - Optimize power distribution networks (PDN). - Review schematic design for reliability and manufacturability. - Conduct hardware debugging and root-cause failure analysis. - Interface high-current motor drivers with control systems. 4. Embedded Firmware Development - Develop firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers (STM32, ESP32, etc.). - Optimize real-time control loops. - Implement UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and RF-based communication stacks. - Develop bootloaders and firmware update mechanisms. - Improve system stability and fault recovery logic. 5. Communication Protocol Architecture - Design reliable communication between high-level processors (e.g., Raspberry Pi-class systems) and embedded controllers. - Implement structured packet-based communication with CRC, acknowledgments, retry logic. - Optimize wireless RF performance for latency and reliability. - Design fail-safe and watchdog-based recovery mechanisms. 6. Testing, Validation & Documentation - Create calibration procedures and validation test plans. - Perform stress testing and endurance validation. - Maintain structured documentation (hardware revision logs, firmware versioning, test reports). - Define system-level debugging and logging strategies. --- Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master’s in: - Electrical Engineering - Electronics & Communication - Mechatronics - Embedded Systems 3+ years of hands-on experience in: ● BLDC motor control systems ● Embedded firmware development ● PCB design & hardware debugging ● RF communication systems --- Technical Skills Required: Mandatory: ● BLDC control (FOC preferred) ● PID tuning and control theory fundamentals ● PCB design tools (Altium / KiCad / Eagle) ● Embedded C/C++ ● Oscilloscope and hardware debugging expertise ● Communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN) ● RF modules and wireless data handling ● Raspberry Pi or Linux-based embedded systems Preferred: - RTOS (FreeRTOS) - EMI/EMC mitigation techniques - Motor driver IC integration - Signal integrity analysis - MATLAB/Simulink for control modeling --- Behavioral Expectations: ● Strong ownership mentality ● System-level problem-solving approach ● Structured documentation discipline ● Ability to work across hardware, firmware, and mechanical domains ● Fast debugging capability under pressure --- Performance Indicators: ● Successful motor calibration with improved efficiency & stability ● Reduced communication latency and packet loss ● Improved PCB reliability and reduced field failures ● Stable firmware with minimal crash frequency ● Structured validation reports and measurable performance improvements --- Work Model & Engagement Criteria: ● Candidate must be available to work from the office whenever required. ● On-site presence will be needed for testing and integration activities. ● Rate will be discussed accordingly.
