Mountain View, CATesting /On-site Aeva's mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.
Overview:
The Scanning Systems team develops electro-mechanical & optical systems that enable our lidars to scan the world. The team is multidisciplinary and works on complex problems that require high precision and high reliability – pushing the limits of materials, controls, and manufacturing. We are looking for an engineer with expertise in controls along with strong embedded programming and electronics experience. You will be responsible for designing and implementing controllers for our actuators. You will be doing hands-on design, implementation, evaluation and debugging of the performance of the controller, actuator and associated electronics.
What you'll be doing:- Developing, testing and analyzing control architectures and improvements.
- Implementing controller changes in C.Root-causing control performance issues with embedded, electrical and mechanical engineers.
- Testing and qualifying changes by coordinating with the reliability and test team to identify the appropriate test conditions, collect relevant data and present the results for approval.
- What you have:3+ years of experience developing controls for motion control applications.
- Strong fundamentals in control design - PID, frequency domain, state space.
- Experience implementing real-time, production-level firmware in C.Ability to prototype controller designs and analyze data in Matlab and Python.
- Working knowledge of motors, encoders, motor drivers, ADCs and microcontrollers.
- Master's level coursework in controls and embedded programming.
- Self-driven with ability to take complete ownership of projects
- Strong communication skills to work cross functionally
- Ability to juggle multiple projects
- Enjoy a fast-paced and dynamic environment
- Practical experience controlling motors (Brushed DC, BLDC, VCM, MEMS).Hands-on experience in developing and debugging motion control electronics (motor drivers, ADCs, encoders).$140,463 - $190,113 a year
- Salary pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate's starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, certifications, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions.
These ranges are subject to change in the future. Depending on the position offered, equity, bonus, and other forms of compensation may be provided as part of a total compensation package, in addition to comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, pre-tax commuter and health care/dependent care accounts, 401k plan, life and disability benefits, flexible time off, paid parental leave, and 11 paid holidays annually.
