Contract Motor Control / FOC Engineer

HaloBraid is building robotic systems for the professional beauty industry and is looking for an experienced motor controls engineer to help improve the performance of several BLDC-driven subsystems.

Our team has already implemented an initial control system. We are looking for someone with deep expertise in Field-Oriented Control (FOC) who can help improve smoothness, low-speed performance, responsiveness, stability, and overall motion quality.

What You’ll Do

• Analyze and improve existing motor-control systems

• 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

Greater Boston Area preferred, but open to US-based remote contractors who have access to electronics equipment.
