Electric Motor Design Engineer

Focus: lead reverse engineering projects of DC and AC motors. The candidate must have such experience and be capable of technically drive the process of reverse engineering.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop AC and DC electric motors (e.g., induction, PM, BLDC, synchronous, etc.)
• Perform electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical analysis using simulation tools  (FEA/CFD)
• Lead and perform reverse engineering efforts including:
  • Full motor teardown and documentation
  • Dimensional analysis and material identification
  • Winding analysis and replication
  • Magnetic circuit evaluation
• Create detailed CAD models, drawings, and manufacturing documentation
• Develop motor performance specifications and validation test plans
• Conduct performance testing (efficiency, torque, speed, thermal, vibration, noise)
• Analyze and optimize motor efficiency
• Work closely with manufacturing to ensure design for manufacturability 
• Support prototyping, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis
• Evaluate competitor products and recommend design improvements
• Ensure compliance with applicable industry standards 
• Lead programs through production launch, including supplier selection and qualification
• Ownership of developing validation methodologies to correlate simulation results  with physical test data.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, or related field
• 7+ years of experience in electric motor design and development, including at  least one motor platform successfully developed or redesigned and launched into production
• Strong knowledge of electromagnetic theory and motor design principles
• Experience with motor simulation tools 
• Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor)
• Hands-on experience with motor teardown and reverse engineering
• Understanding of winding techniques, lamination stacks, magnets, and insulation systems
• Familiarity with motor manufacturing processes and materials
• Ability to interpret and create detailed engineering drawings
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
