Description:
This is a clean sheet design and implementation project.
The primary function is developing a motion control system for a next-generation product.
The system will primarily control Stepper motors, with experience in BLDC control being a strong bonus.
Power requirements are relatively small (less than or equal to 100W).
The location preference is local and on-site due to the project's hardware nature.
Job Responsibilities:
Motor Control: Design the control circuitry for the motion system, primarily targeting Stepper motors. Experience with BLDC control is a plus.
Embedded Integration: Integrate the motion control PCB with the project's embedded systems, which utilize ST series MCUs and a central host running an NXP iMX6.
Sensor Integration: Integrate various sensors typical for motion systems, including limit switches, distance sensors, force sensors, and temperature sensors.
PCB Design: Execute all necessary schematic capture and PCB layout for the motion control board.
Firmware Interface: While the base job does NOT require firmware development, multidiscipline candidates capable of interfacing with or modifying firmware are highly valued.
Job Qualifications:
Motion Control Expertise: Deep experience designing and implementing hardware for motor/motion control systems, specifically with Stepper motors.
Embedded Systems Foundation: Strong working knowledge of embedded systems, specifically integrating with standard MCUs (such as ST series or similar ARM Cortex M4 derivatives).
Sensor Integration: Demonstrated ability to integrate, interface, and design circuitry for various motion control sensors.
System Leadership: Ability to drive a project from conception through design and into manufacturing (highly preferred for senior applicants).
Preferred Job Qualifications:
Experience with the ST Microcontroller family and/or NXP iMX6 host systems.
Ability to read, modify, or write firmware for motion controllers (multidiscipline skill).
Job Details:
Location: Seattle, WA (In-office 3+ days per week preferred. Remote is NOT possible due to the nature of the project and necessary hardware interaction.)
Pay Rate Range: $95 – $135 / hour
Benefits Package: Protingent offers competitive salaries, insurance plan options (HDHP plan or POS plan), education/certification reimbursement, pre-tax commuter benefits, Paid Time Off (PTO), and an administered 401k plan.
