Lead Motor and Drive Engineer
Logitech is seeking a Lead Motor and Drive Engineer to lead the design, development and integration of motorized actuation systems for innovative consumer and professional products. This role requires an experienced engineer with deep expertise in motors, drive electronics, motion control and mechatronic system integration. Responsibilities
Lead the architecture, design and development of motor and drive systems across mechanical, electrical, embedded software, systems, reliability, sourcing and manufacturing teams. Define subsystem requirements for torque, speed, efficiency, acoustics, thermal behavior, lifetime and controllability. Select and develop motors, geartrains, encoders, sensors, drivers and power electronics to meet product needs. Design and optimize motion control solutions for performance, reliability, noise, vibration, power consumption and cost. Partner with embedded software and electrical engineering teams on motor control algorithms, feedback systems and drive implementation. Support system modeling, simulation, prototyping, characterization and design validation. Lead trade‑off analysis across actuator performance, packaging constraints, user experience, reliability and manufacturability. Drive root‑cause analysis and problem resolution for motion quality, thermal behavior, EMC, durability and field performance. Develop validation plans, test methods and acceptance criteria for motor and drive subsystems. Collaborate with suppliers to define specifications, review designs, qualify components and improve subsystem performance. Ensure designs meet regulatory, safety and quality requirements. Create and maintain technical documentation including requirements, design reviews, FMEAs, test reports and production specifications. Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership across mechatronic subsystem development. Key Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Power Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics or a related field. 8+ years of experience in motor, actuator or drive system development. Strong knowledge of DC motors, BLDC motors, stepper motors, servo systems and related drive architectures. Experience with motor control principles including closed‑loop control, feedback systems and performance tuning. Strong understanding of power electronics, motor drivers, sensing and actuator integration. Experience with mechatronic system design, including interactions between mechanical, electrical and software elements. Familiarity with simulation and analysis tools for motion systems, thermal behavior and dynamic performance. Experience defining and executing validation plans for motor and drive performance, reliability and production readiness. Strong troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis skills in complex hardware systems. Proven ability to work effectively in cross‑functional product development environments. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Preferred Qualifications
Experience in consumer electronics, robotics, haptics, camera motion systems, smart devices or precision actuation products. Familiarity with FOC, PID control tuning, encoder integration, current sensing and sensorless control methods. Experience with low‑noise and low‑vibration motion system design. Understanding of geartrain design, backlash, efficiency and mechanical transmission tradeoffs. Experience with battery‑powered systems and power optimization. Familiarity with EMC/EMI considerations in motor drive systems. Experience with supplier development and high‑volume manufacturing support.Knowledge of DFM, DFA, DFMEA, PFMEA and production test methods. Experience leading subsystem development from concept through mass production. What Success Looks Like
In this role, success means delivering motor and drive systems that are smooth, responsive, consistent, reliable over product lifetime, quiet, efficient, thermally well managed, well integrated into the full mechatronic system and scalable for high‑volume production. Key Competencies
Technical leadership Systems thinking Cross‑functional collaboration Structured problem‑solving Product development ownership Attention to detail Mentorship and team support Strong engineering judgment Work Arrangement
Logitech offers flexible work arrangements, including remote and hybrid options. Equal Employment Opportunity
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, sex, age, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status or disability.
