Magnetic Motor Design Manager

Insight Global is hiring a Magnetic Motor Design Manager to lead the development of advanced electric motor systems for a highly specialized engineering environment. This role blends deep technical expertise in electromagnetics with hands‑on leadership, owning motor design from concept through production while managing a team of engineers and interfacing with cross‑functional partners and external stakeholders.

• Serve as the subject matter expert for electromagnetic design and motor architecture
• Lead magnetic circuit design, material selection (including permanent magnets and soft magnetic materials), and performance optimization
• Define and implement motor design standards, simulation methodologies, and validation processes
• Translate technical requirements into scalable, manufacturable designs
• Partner with mechanical, thermal, controls, and power electronics teams to ensure system‑level performance
• Develop motor models, performance data, and characterization reports to support system simulation
• Communicate technical tradeoffs, risks, and design decisions to leadership and external stakeholders
• Lead design reviews and customer‑facing technical discussions

• Ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability and cost efficiency
• Collaborate with suppliers and production teams on materials, processes, and component sourcing
• Support production transition, supplier qualification, and continuous improvement efforts

• Define and oversee motor testing including dynamometer, thermal, and lifecycle validation
• Lead root cause analysis and ensure alignment between simulation and test results
• Support qualification efforts aligned with industry standards
• Lead and mentor a team of engineers, driving technical growth and performance
• Oversee design reviews, configuration management, and change control processes
• Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with technical requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related technical field (Master’s or PhD preferred)
• 10+ years of experience in electric motor design or electromagnetic systems
• 4+ years of leadership or people management experience
• Hands‑on experience with motor design tools such as ANSYS Maxwell, Motor‑CAD, JMAG, or Flux
• Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, magnetic materials, and motor performance optimization
• Experience designing motors for high‑performance applications and transitioning designs to production
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes including winding, magnetization, and assembly techniques
• Experience with motor testing, validation, and performance characterization
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Experience in aerospace, electric vehicles, defense, or industrial motor applications
• Knowledge of high-speed or high power density motor design
• Experience with multi-physics simulation (thermal, electromagnetic, mechanical)
• Familiarity with advanced motor control techniques (e.g., field-oriented control)
• Background in regulated or highly reliable systems

• High-impact leadership role with full ownership of motor design strategy
• Opportunity to work on advanced, high-performance engineering systems
• Competitive compensation with flexibility for top-tier talent
• Relocation support available for Irvine, CA or Fort Worth, TX
