Description:
The Electromagnetic Engineer will lead the development of advanced electric traction motors, taking ownership of electromagnetic design activities from concept through to production. Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will develop innovative motor solutions while balancing performance, efficiency, thermal requirements, manufacturability and cost.
This role is suited to an experienced engineer who enjoys combining first-principles engineering with simulation and practical development to solve complex electrification challenges.
The Electromagnetic Engineer will be responsible for:
Leading the electromagnetic design and optimisation of electric traction motors from concept through to production.
Developing and evaluating machine topologies including Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM), Electrically Excited Synchronous Machines (EESM) and hybrid machine architectures.
Creating electromagnetic models using analytical calculations and finite element analysis (FEA)
Taking ownership of motor performance characteristics including torque, efficiency, losses, field weakening and NVH.
Supporting thermal analysis activities to ensure designs achieve performance and durability targets.
Working closely with mechanical and controls engineers to support system integration, manufacturability and validation.
The Electromagnetic Engineer will have:
A BEng, MEng or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
Significant experience designing electric traction motors that have progressed into production.
Experience with both Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) and Electrically Excited Synchronous Machine (EESM) technologies.
Strong understanding of electromagnetic machine theory and motor design principles.
Extensive experience using electromagnetic simulation tools such as JMAG, Motor-CAD, Ansys Maxwell or similar.
Experience correlating simulation results with physical test and validation data.
Strong knowledge of magnetic materials, laminations, permanent magnets and winding technologies.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving and technical communication skills.
This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys leading the development of advanced electric machine technologies and turning innovative concepts into production-ready solutions.
