Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Design, develop, commission, and certificate innovative cutting-edge electric motors for hybrid propulsion system.
- Lead and execute system-level tests, such as motor and propeller test stands.
- Collaborate with suppliers to ensure delivery of integrated, and certifiable subsystems.
- Perform avionics-optimized electric motor topology trade studies.
- Create 2D/3D CAD models of electric motors in drawing tools (e.g., Siemens NX).
You'll Bring These Qualifications:
- 2+ years of professional experience designing high voltage, high power electric motors.
- In depth understanding of permanent magnet motor design, principles, modeling, and analysis techniques.
- Proficiency with JMAG, Ansys Maxwell, RMxpert, or MotorCAD.
- Design and optimize electromagnetic active parts for manufacturing and certification.
- Hands-on experience with integration of propulsion and/or powertrain test stands, including instrumentation, controls, and mechanical assembly.
- Strong understanding of electric motors manufacturing processes such as stator winding, lamination stacking, and stator varnishing.
- Strong knowledge of motor manufacturing, heat treatment, statics, dynamics and mechanics of materials.
These Qualifications Would Be Nice to Have:
- Understanding of certification requirements (EASA CS-23/25 or FAA FAR Part 23/25).
- Knowledge of aerospace airworthiness standards, e.g. DO-254, and DO-160.
- Develop and maintain design failure mode and effects analysis (DFMEA).
Education:
