Do you want to work with testing and optimization of advanced electric motors?

At Alva Industries, you’ll get hands-on experience with the next generation of electric drive systems – at the intersection of control engineering, electronics, and system integration.

About the position

As a Motion Control Systems Engineer, you’ll play a key role in testing, tuning, and validating Alva’s electric motors.

You will collaborate closely with both the development team and external customers to ensure precise motor control and high performance in real-world applications.

The role combines hands-on lab testing, analysis, troubleshooting, and automation of test processes. It’s a great fit for an electrical, mechatronics, or automation engineer with 2–7 years of experience who enjoys practical, hands-on work.

Your responsibilities

Test and tune motor controllers for position, speed, and torque

Integrate Alva’s motors with third-party drives and customer systems

Troubleshoot and optimize motor and control systems

Use lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and power analyzers

Document results and contribute to test setups and demos

We’re looking for someone who

Has a solid understanding of control theory (PID, loop stability)

Can read electronic schematics and work practically with test and measurement equipment

Enjoys hands-on work, analytical problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration

It’s a plus if you also have

Experience with Field-Oriented Control (FOC) or tuning of servo/motor controllers

Knowledge of encoders, sensors, and power testing

Experience from lab work, prototyping, or customer integration

Knowledge of CANOpen, EtherCAT, or similar communication protocols

Industry experience in automotive, robotics or industrial automation

Proficiency in C#/Python, or similar languages for test automation
