Motor Control Software Engineer Warwickshire, UK £60-75k + bonus + benefits

This is a fantastic opportunity for a control software engineer with excellent experience of motor control. The role will involve software development of motor control algorithms for electrified powertrain systems for a broad variety e-mobility application. Based in Leamington Spa.

Required: Senior control software engineer

Experience of developing motor control algorithms for electrified vehicle powertrain systems
Excellent proven capabilities in either embedded software (C coding) or model based software development (Matlab, Simulink, etc)
Experience of requirement capture and developing software architecture would be useful
Strong communication skills
Proven experience of developing motor control software for vehicle-based platforms within various mobility sectors (e.g. automotive, rail, aerospace, off-highway, military vehicles, etc)

In this role you will be involved with taking customer projects (e.g. electric vehicle propulsion / powertrain systems) from concept to prototype. This means being able to develop systems from scratch, bringing solutions up through hardware integration and lab testing to form validated prototypes ready for customer handover.

This role requires experience of motor control algorithm development utilising embedded C (hand coding) software development OR model-based software development (Matlab / Simulink).

A wider systems appreciation combined with experience of several e-mobility domains (e.g. automotive, aerospace, off-highway, marine, etc) would be preferred.

Skills / experience required: Senior motor control software engineer
A good degree or ideally masters in a relevant subject (e.g. electronics, computer science, automotive engineering, etc)
At least 5 years of post-academic experience developing motor control software for electric vehicles.
Good evidence of model based software development using Matlab / Simulink OR embedded C
Experience of autocode tools (e.g. Embedded Coder) would be useful.
Evidence of innovation and creative problem solving for relevant engineering projects
Strong technical ability with the development of either embedded software (embedded C) and model based software (Matlab / Simulink)
Some embedded software competence is required (understand device drivers, h/w architecture)
Strong motor control algorithm development experience is required

Our client is looking for senior embedded software engineer with a relevant degree to help take proof of concepts through to prototype and into production ready designs. Embedded C programming experience is required or good model based software development (Matlab / Simulink) experience.

Experience of automotive, marine, aerospace or other vehicle electrification / motor control product development would be required.

Where to Advertise Space Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising space jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans satellite engineers, propulsion specialists, mission analysts, ground segment software developers, space systems architects and commercial space professionals — a highly specific multidisciplinary community that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest space candidates are often embedded in ESA programmes, academic research groups, UK Space Agency-funded projects or established primes, and move between roles through sector-specific networks, industry bodies and conference communities rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by UKSpaceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise space industry roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many Space Industry Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a UK Space Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in the space industry — whether that’s spacecraft engineering, mission operations, space software, satellite systems, ground segment integration or space data analytics — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of tools, platforms and technologies mentioned in job adverts. One role wants experience with CAD and FEA software. Another asks for experience with GNSS simulation. A third mentions mission scheduling tools, RF link analysis suites, Python, C++, continuous integration — and it seems there’s always another acronym to learn. With so much listed, many candidates fall into the trap of thinking they must master every tool under the sun before they’ll be taken seriously. Here’s the honest truth most UK space hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you’ve heard of every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real space problems, explain your reasoning clearly, and deliver results. Tools matter, but they always serve a purpose: achieving mission goals, improving reliability, reducing risk, delivering data, or enabling collaboration. Tools are enablers — not trophies. So how many tools do you actually need to know to get a space job? The answer is much fewer and far more strategic than you might think. This article breaks down: what tools employers really expect which ones are core across most space roles which ones are role-specific how to present your tool proficiency on your CV and in interviews
