Mechanical Design Engineer

The sky is no longer the limit as Nidec takes its technology off the ground and into the Aerospace market. As a Mechanical Design Engineer with the Nidec Aerospace team, you will have the opportunity to apply and develop your expertise to design electric propulsion systems for the battery-powered aircrafts that will enable the world to sustainably and efficiently get from point A to point

B.

Nidec is the world’s leading electric motor manufacturer and a true pioneer in electrification across a wide array of industries since its foundation in 1973, ranging from appliance, energy infrastructure, to ground transportation. Nidec Aerospace is a newly created Joint Venture between Nidec and Embraer intending to lead the Electrification of Aircrafts. We are well-positioned and excited to support the aerospace industry in its ambitious transition to net‑zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The ideal candidate will embody Nidec’s key pillars of Passion, Enthusiasm, and Tenacity with their passion to learn, enthusiasm to exceed market expectations, and tenacity to solve complex technical issues. From ideation to production, you will work with a diverse and experienced team of design engineers to support aerospace industry leaders and spearhead technological advances in transport decarbonization.

This mechanical design role is a critical position for Nidec Aerospace’s electric propulsion system development. In this role, you will be on a multinational, multifunctional team of engineers supporting the development of the most advanced electric motors on earth. Whether you are entry level or a senior engineer, there is a home at Nidec Aerospace for you if you have the skillset, motivation, creativity, and team‑oriented attitude required to succeed.
