Qualifications
As an engineer passionate about the intersection of electronics, motion control, and system integration, you thrive in collaborative environments. You have a blend of analytical skills and practical experience, making you an ideal candidate for this role. Qualifications include:3–5 years of experience in electronics engineering, ideally within robotics, industrial automation, or driveline applications. Strong understanding of motor control principles, particularly BLDC and stepper motor drives (including inverters, gate drivers, and feedback loops). Proficiency in interpreting schematics and PCB layouts, with the ability to assess compatibility with microcontroller platforms (e.g., ST, Infineon, TI). Familiarity with communication protocols such as CANopen (CiA 402) and other fieldbus systems. Practical experience with lab equipment, including oscilloscopes and logic analyzers, for debugging and performance verification. A methodical and team-oriented mindset conducive to collaboration.
About the job
Join us as an Electronics Engineer specializing in Driveline Systems, where you'll play a pivotal role in enhancing our robotic platforms, including milking robots and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). Your expertise will ensure these systems operate with precision, reliability, and sustained performance in challenging agricultural environments.
In this dynamic role, you'll collaborate closely with system architects, embedded systems engineers, and mechanical engineers, as well as liaise with external electronics suppliers responsible for motor drive hardware development. Your contributions will be vital in guaranteeing that every driveline component, from motors to controllers, aligns with functional, performance, and reliability standards.
Your hands-on validation skills, combined with a systems-level perspective, will enable you to validate hardware, review supplier schematics, and troubleshoot integration challenges, directly influencing the safety and efficacy of our motion systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct hands-on bench testing and on-robot validation of motor drive and power electronics systems.
- Ensure seamless integration of driveline electronics within our robotic systems, focusing on power distribution and signal integrity.
- Translate functional requirements of robotic applications (e.g., torque, speed, positioning accuracy) into precise hardware specifications.
- Collaborate with suppliers to define, review, and enhance technical specifications and interface definitions.
- Assist in troubleshooting hardware-software interface issues alongside embedded software engineers.
