Mechanisms Engineer (III or Senior), Motor Control

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground. OUR VALUES Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results. It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. YOUR MISSION True Anomaly is seeking a talented and experienced Motor Control Engineer at the Mid-career or Senior level to join our Mechanisms team, reporting to the Mechanisms Engineering Manager. 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.  RESPONSIBILITIES 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  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  Perform motor and drive system characterization, including torque-speed profiling, efficiency mapping, and thermal analysis  Collaborate closely with the GNC team to develop and validate closed-loop pointing, stabilization, and tracking control for precision actuation applications  Define and execute motor drive hardware bring-up, integration, and qualification test campaigns  Support system-level integration of motor control electronics and firmware with spacecraft avionics and flight software  Develop and maintain design documentation including schematics, firmware architecture, test plans, and analysis reports  Contribute to component selection, trade studies, and design reviews across the mechanisms product portfolio  Mentor junior engineers and contribute to continuous improvement of mechanisms engineering processes and practices  QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred)  5+ years of professional experience in motor control system design, with demonstrated de...
