POWERTECH is a center of excellence for propulsion technologies, specializing in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of combustion engines, expendable turbojet engines, and turbofan engines for a wide range of aerospace, defence, and autonomous applications, including fixed- and rotary-wing UAVs and other advanced platforms.

The Electric Motor Senior Engineer is responsible for the
design, development, certification support, and lifecycle management of electric motors
used in
aerospace, defense, and automotive propulsion systems
. The role focuses on delivering
high-reliability, safety-critical, and high-performance electric machines
that meet stringent regulatory, environmental, and operational requirements.

• Lead the
  design and development of electric motors
  for propulsion applications, includinge-propulsion, hybrid systems, auxiliary power units, and actuation systems
  .
• Define motor architectures considering
  power density, efficiency, thermal limits, redundancy, and fault tolerance
  .
• Develop detailed
  electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical designs
  , including winding topology, materials, cooling, and insulation systems.
• Serve as a
  technical authority
  during design reviews, trade studies, and technical risk assessments.
• Conduct
  advanced electromagnetic, thermal, and structural simulations
  using industry-standard tools (e.g., ANSYS Maxwell, JMAG, Motor-CAD, MATLAB/Simulink).
• Optimize designs for
  efficiency, NVH, weight, reliability, and survivability
  under extreme operating conditions.
• Support
  motor-inverter-control system integration
  , including torque control, efficiency mapping, and fault detection strategies.
• Define and support
  prototype builds, qualification testing, and validation activities
  , including performance, endurance, vibration, thermal cycling, and environmental testing.
• Analyze test results, lead root-cause investigations, and implement corrective design actions.
• Support
  certification and compliance activities
  in line with applicable standards and regulations (e.g.,
  DO-160, DO-254, MIL-STD, ISO 26262, IEC/ISO standards
  ).
• Provide engineering support for
  production ramp‑up, field issues, and in‑service performance improvements
  .
• Work closely with
  power electronics, controls, systems engineering, mechanical, test, and quality teams
  .
• Interface with
  customers, suppliers, and regulatory stakeholders
  on technical matters.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to
  technical capability building and knowledge transfer
  within Powertech Engines.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and supply chain teams to ensure
  design for manufacturability, quality, and repeatability
  .

• Bachelor’s degree in
  Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
  .
• Master’s degree or PhD in
  Electric Machines, Power Engineering, or Propulsion Systems
  is highly preferred.
• 8+ years of experience
  in electric motor design for
  aerospace, defense, or automotive propulsion systems
  .
