In this role, you will own both the drive electronics hardware and the embedded firmware for precision motor-driven actuation systems on our orbital platforms. You will design and develop custom motor drive circuits, closed-loop servo control algorithms, and the embedded software that ties them together — delivering vertically integrated solutions built for the demanding thermal, radiation, and reliability requirements of spaceflight. You bring equal depth in hardware and firmware, thrive in a hands-on environment, and take pride in seeing your work perform on-orbit.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>RESPONSIBILITIES</strong></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Design and develop motor drive electronics for brushless DC and stepper motor systems, including gate driver circuits, current sensing, power stage design, and EMI mitigation</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Develop and implement embedded firmware for closed-loop motor control, including FOC/BLDC commutation algorithms, PID and advanced control loops, and fault detection and handling</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Perform motor and drive system characterization, including torque-speed profiling, efficiency mapping, and thermal analysis</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Collaborate closely with the GNC team to develop and&nbsp;validate&nbsp;closed-loop pointing, stabilization, and tracking control for precision actuation applications</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Define and execute motor drive hardware bring-up, integration, and qualification test campaigns</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Support system-level integration of motor control electronics and firmware with spacecraft av
