What You’ll Do

  • Develop real-time models of motors, inverters, batteries, and grid systems using MATLAB/Simulink and C/C++.

  • Implement and optimize models for FPGA and multi-core real-time platforms (Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+, AMD, etc.).

  • Ensure deterministic execution and stability of PHIL simulations with high temporal resolution.

  • Collaborate with hardware and motor control teams to integrate models into Motor Emulator, Grid Emulator, and Battery Emulator platforms.

  • Perform HIL/PHIL validation testing, including transient response, harmonics, and stability analysis.

  • Support customers in deploying and customizing real-time models for research and industrial testbeds.

  • Document simulation workflows and provide training for internal and external users.

Who You Are

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

  • Strong background in real-time simulation, numerical methods, and control systems.

  • Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink, Simscape, and C/C++ programming.

  • Experience with FPGA platforms, HDL coding, or model-based FPGA deployment.

  • Familiarity with HIL/PHIL testing, power systems modeling, or motor drive emulation.

  • Understanding of real-time scheduling, fixed-step solvers, and numerical stability considerations.

  • Collaborative, multidisciplinary work environment with growth potential.

  • Competitive salary, benefits, and potential equity participation.

  • Exposure to state-of-the-art PHIL/HIL platforms and customer projects worldwide.

  • Chance to shape the future of real-time simulation in electrification, automation, and renewable energy.
