Develop high-performance control algorithms for electric systems, create simulation models, debug embedded software, and manage project timelines in a dynamic, collaborative environment.
Diamond Foundry Inc. is solving the thermal limitation at the foundation of today's most exciting tech industries -- AI & cloud compute, electric-car power electronics, and 5G/6G wireless. We have managed to produce the world's first single-crystal diamond wafers and are now on a mission to put a diamond behind every chip. We are the rare unicorn that has grown fast and profitably. We received $515m in funding and are executing a multi-$B expansion plan for one of the greenest forms of tech manufacturing: converting greenhouse gas into diamond wafers using zero-emission energy.
In this role, your primary responsibility will be to develop high-performance control algorithms for electric systems, including motor-generators, power inverters, and energy storage. You will create, maintain, and effectively use simulation and embeddable models of these systems for performance evaluation. You will be expected to derive high-integrity plant and control models, validating these through simulation and testing. This may involve auto-coding from the derived control simulation, hand-coding, and coding of the hardware abstraction layer. This candidate has strong team membership skills and the ability to lead and support multiple simultaneous projects related to DFI’s advanced control power products, implementing next-generation power application solutions. You will play a key role in a small, fast-moving team and participate in the architecture, design, and implementation of motor control systems and power solutions.
This engineer will work closely with the hardware, mechanical, and integration, to design, develop, test, and improve system-level behaviors.
This position will be a temp-to-hire position.
Responsibilities:
- Manage project timelines and milestones.
- Create high integrity simulation models of electrical components and systems.
- Utilize models to explore parameter dependence and sensitivities to stretch the bounds of highly-efficient and powerful motor control.
- Debug and test embedded software and systems on the bench, at the dyno and in the field.
- Follow development cycle process including: bug / defect tracking and reporting; unit, regression, and user-acceptance testing; documentation.
Requirements:
- BS in EE, MS preferred, with at least 5 years of industry experience with advance control of electric motor and modeling.
- Deep knowledge of high-performance motor control algorithms and software including various formulations of field-oriented control and direct torque/flux control.
- Experience with motor / generators, power converters, energy storage subsystems and control algorithms is required.
- Electric motor, power system and control algorithm modeling and simulation experience (Simulink/Pspice).
- Implementation of control algorithms for electric motors and inverters in embedded C.
- Automotive powertrain experience(inverters).
- 32 bit MCU platform, preferably STM32 family and code composer.
- Experience with Digital Signal Processors required.
- UI and graphic UI design using Python or equivalent required.
- Hands-on debugging and logical problem-solving experience.
- Track record of project management/delivery to internal and external groups on time with required quality.
- Great communication skills (both oral and written) and a positive, team-oriented attitude.
- Ability to work effectively in a dynamic small-company environment.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
