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.

    This senior motor control software engineer role is based onsite (3 days per week) and is commutable from Birmingham. Redditch, Solihull, Nuneaton, Hinckley, Leamington Spa, Banbury, Daventry, Rugby, Coventry and Lutterworth

Space Sector Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

The UK space sector is no longer a niche curiosity. It is now a strategic industry worth billions, employing tens of thousands of people across nearly 2,000 organisations – and it has been growing faster than the wider UK economy for years. At the same time, employers report serious skills shortages, especially in software, data and systems engineering, with recruitment and retention now cited as key barriers to growth. For job seekers, this is encouraging – but it does not mean every space application is an easy win. For recruiters, competing for talent with tech, defence, energy and finance is only getting harder. This article, written for www.ukspacejobs.co.uk , explores the space sector hiring trends to watch in 2026, aimed at both: Job seekers searching for terms like “space jobs in the UK”, “satellite jobs UK”, or “space engineer roles”; and Recruiters and hiring managers interested in “space sector hiring trends” and “space recruitment UK”.

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.
