Senior Electrical Motor Design Engineer

Senior Electrical Motor Design Engineer

The Senior Electrical Motor Design Engineer will lead the cradle-to-grave design and development of motors and electromagnetic devices for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. This hands‑on role spans the full product lifecycle, including concept development, requirements definition, simulation, material selection, prototyping, testing, qualification, release, customer interaction, and sustaining engineering. The position is ideal for an engineer who brings deep technical expertise in motor and electromagnetic product design, strong documentation discipline, and the ability to collaborate effectively in a high‑reliability electromechanical environment.

• Design and develop PMDC, wound‑field DC, and AC induction motors, as well as related electromagnetic devices such as RVDTs, LVDTs, synchros, resolvers, and other feedback devices.
• Perform electromagnetic simulations, trade studies, and material selection to validate performance, efficiency, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Develop motor electrical architectures, winding approaches, electrical interfaces, and comprehensive design documentation from concept through release.
• Support integration of motors with drives, control electronics, sensors, and interface circuitry to ensure robust system performance.
• Create, update, and maintain drawing packages, 3D models, bills of material (BOMs), calculations, specifications, and all supporting technical documentation.
• Provide hands‑on support for prototype builds, including lab‑based troubleshooting, validation testing, qualification testing, and environmental testing.
• Lead and support root‑cause investigations and implement corrective actions to address design or performance issues.
• Interface directly with customers to clarify requirements, address technical issues, and resolve product performance concerns.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, manufacturing, quality, test, and program teams to support both new product development and sustaining engineering activities.
• Analyze test data and prototype performance using appropriate engineering tools and sound analytical methods to drive design decisions.
• Support FMEA activities, MTBF and reliability analyses, and design improvement initiatives to enhance product robustness and lifecycle performance.
• Research and evaluate new materials, technologies, and methods to improve motor performance, durability, and producibility.
• Contribute to and uphold a high‑reliability engineering culture suitable for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 5–7 years of current motor or electromagnetic product design experience.
• Proven experience designing and developing motors and electromagnetic devices, including motors, actuators, resolvers, synchros, or feedback devices.
• Strong understanding of electromagnetic design principles, motor topologies, and product performance tradeoffs.
• Hands‑on experience with prototyping, laboratory troubleshooting, validation testing, and qualification support.
• Ability to support programs from concept through release and into sustaining engineering.
• Strong documentation discipline with the ability to prepare and release complete engineering deliverables.
• Demonstrated cross‑functional collaboration skills and effective customer‑facing communication abilities.
• Ability to support both new product development and sustaining engineering work in parallel.
• Experience with electromechanical engineering concepts and the interaction of electrical and mechanical components.
• Familiarity with analog and digital circuits as they relate to motor drives, control electronics, and interface circuitry.
• Experience with reliability analysis methods such as FMEA and MTBF.
• Proficiency with electromagnetic simulation tools or workflows used to validate performance, efficiency, and manufacturability.
• Eligibility to work on export‑controlled programs as a U.S. Person, in accordance with applicable regulations.

• Experience with Ansys Electronics Desktop,…
