About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

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 (verifying) these motor models to find issues in early design processes.
Modify electro-magnetic design of the motor based on early learning to correct the issues before physical prototyping.
Establishing and keeping workflows and best practices for electrical system modeling within the team.
Generate robust motor and electrical part library that can be used by System level modelling 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.
Supporting certification and regulatory compliance for global deployment.
