Xylem

Join Xylem in the global mission to #LetsSolveWater! As a leading water technology company with 23,000 employees operating in over 150 countries, Xylem is at the forefront of addressing the world's most critical water challenges. We invite passionate individuals to join our team, dedicated to exceeding customer expectations through innovative and sustainable solutions.

Electronics Centre of Excellence is supporting Xylem objective of simplifying water by standardising and enhancing Xylem key Power Electronics capability to design a range of custom motor drives (variable frequency) to surpass efficiency, usability and reliability requirements for a wide range of water applications.

Our Embedded Software Engineers are responsible for the motor control and related software for a range of variable frequency drives used within the Xylem portfolio. These products are based upon a re-usable platform which is customizable for specific applications and environments. Typical motor types used with these products are conventional asynchronous TEFC motors connected to water pumps, PMSM wetted rotor circulator motors, and other PM or switched/synchronous reluctance motors for pumping applications. Typical power ranges are up to 22kW in the short-term, with higher power levels expected in the future.

Ability to work in a team and foster collaboration is essential. You will also need to demonstrate leadership in pursuit of technical solutions, have a hands-on approach to problem solving and be able to manage your work against time, budget and customer expectations.

Your challenges with us:

• Design controllers, optimising for efficiency and cost.
• Design of modular, reusable control modules to benefit a wide range of applications and power levels.
• Conform designs to meet standards compliance.
• Interfacing with electronic engineers, physicists, and mechanical engineers.
• Present project/product development updated and product support to clients.
• Generating design, test, and verification documentation.

The qualifications and experience we are looking for:

• A Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electronics/Software Engineering with specialisation in Control Theory.
• 5+ years of Embedded Software design experience.
• Modelling and simulating controllers.
• Deep understanding of motor control theory (synchronous and asynchronous).
• Proficiency with integration with hardware engineers, understanding schematics, understanding of the fundamental stages in power electronic designs.
• Proficiency in the use of test equipment Oscilloscopes, power analysers, etc.
• High-level analytical ability, strong understanding of control and power engineering fundamentals and theory.

Other Preferred Qualifications:

• Good understanding of industrial communication protocols (RS485, ModBus).
• Knowledge of software safety standards and compliance in the industry.

Join the global Xylem team to be a part of innovative technology solutions transforming water usage, conservation, and re-use. Our products impact public utilities, industrial sectors, residential areas, and commercial buildings, with a commitment to providing smart metering, network technologies, and advanced analytics for water, electric, and gas utilities. Partner with us in creating a world where water challenges are met with ingenuity and dedication; where we recognize the power of diversity, equity and inclusion in driving innovation and allowing us to compete more effectively around the world.
