About the role
- Design mechanical components of stators, rotors, and their integration with EV propulsion and electrical systems.
- Iterate motor mechanical designs to optimize electromagnetic performance while ensuring manufacturability and cost-effectiveness for EV applications.
- Lead engineering decisions on winding technologies, magnet materials, lamination methods, insulation, and electrical interconnections specific to EV propulsion motors.
- Develop detailed CAD drawings and manufacturing instructions for propulsion system parts and assemblies.
- Perform linear static stress and structural analyses on components under operational and dynamic loads.
- Execute and document Design Verification Plans & Reports (DVP&R) to validate propulsion system mechanical requirements.
- Develop and maintain Design Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (DFMEAs) tailored to EV motor components.
- Coordinate validation and quality assurance activities with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers of propulsion components.
- Collaborate across disciplines to advance propulsion system designs from initial concept through prototyping to mass production.
- Support hands-on prototype assembly, testing, and component fabrication for EV propulsion systems.
Requirements
- Proficient in CAD tools (CATIA/3DExperience preferred) and PLM systems for propulsion component design, including BOM structuring and engineering change control.
- Strong mechanical engineering foundation, with expertise in materials, heat treatments, statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials applied to propulsion systems.
- Experienced in high-volume manufacturing techniques for electric motor components (e.g., stamping, winding, welding) used in EV drivetrains.
- Deep understanding of electric motor design parameters and their influence on torque, power, efficiency, thermal performance, and NVH in propulsion applications.
- Skilled in FEA using tools like Ansys, Abaqus, and HyperWorks; experienced with MATLAB and/or Python for performance modeling and data analysis.
- Proficient in GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis to ensure reliability and precision in propulsion system assembly.
- Hands-on experience with integration, assembly, testing, and troubleshooting of electric motor and drivetrain systems in EV platforms.
