Tune and optimize FOC implementations

Reduce noise, vibration, and instability

Improve low-speed control and motion smoothness

Recommend motor-control hardware and architecture

Work closely with our mechanical, electrical, and embedded teams

What We’re Looking For
Significant experience with BLDC motors and FOC

Strong controls and embedded systems fundamentals

Experience tuning real-world electromechanical systems

Ability to work hands-on with hardware

2 week - 1 month contract with potential to extend for future work

Nice to Have
Robotics or mechatronics experience

Experience with STM32, ESP32, ODrive, VESC, or similar platforms

Experience taking products from prototype to production
