Model Controls Engineer - Motors

Model Based Design Engineer – Electric Motors Hybrid

Location:

Towson, MD (Hybrid – Onsite 3 days a week)

Responsibilities:

• Creating robust, well‑documented electric motor models using model‑based engineering tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Twin Builder).
• Developing and implementing calibration processes for electromagnetic and thermal models of electric motors.
• Simulating and testing these motor models to identify issues early in the design process.
• Modifying the electromechanical design of the motor based on early learning to correct issues before physical prototyping.
• Establishing and maintaining workflows and best practices for electrical system modeling within the team.
• Generating a robust motor and electrical part library that can be used by system‑level modeling teams.
• Mentoring and training engineers in model‑based design and controls engineering.
• Collaborating with cross‑functional teams, suppliers, and research institutions to drive technological advancements.
• Documenting control strategies, simulation results, and validation processes specific to electrical system design.
• Supporting certification and regulatory compliance for global deployment.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field (PhD preferred).
• 5+ years of experience in electromagnetic and thermal design of motors, with experience in model‑based design.
• Proven experience with 2‑D and 3‑D finite element analysis tools for motor design.
• Experience modeling 3‑phase inverters, including thermal aspects.
• Strong knowledge of electrical system thermal modeling using lumped‑parameter circuits.
• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink and model‑based development methodologies.
• Familiarity with MIL, SIL, and HIL testing environments.
• Experience with field‑oriented control methods for brushless motor control (highly preferred).
• Knowledge of lithium‑ion battery system modeling is a plus.

• Base salary ranging from $90,000 to $144,900 USD annually (based on market location).
• Sign‑on payment may be provided.
• Medical, dental, life, vision, disability, 401(k), employee stock purchase plan, paid time off, and tuition reimbursement.
• Discounts on Stanley Black & Decker tools and partner programs.
