Principal Motor (Industrial) Design Engineer
Critical Fit Recruiting, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, 55400
The Senior Motor (Industrial) Design Engineer will be a critical team member developing high-performing electric motor designs using once-in-a-generation new magnetic material.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Design and optimize electric motors (including permanent magnet motors) using advanced electromagnetic simulation tools Analyze magnetic circuits, flux paths, and torque production to meet performance targets Evaluate the impact of magnetic materials on motor performance and efficiency Document detailed designs, test reports and processes Use FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS Maxwell, JMAG, Motor-CAD) to simulate electromagnetic behavior. Perform thermal and loss analysis to ensure reliability and compliance with design specifications Collaborate to build and test motor prototypes Interpret data to validate and refine design Collaborate cross-functionally magnet and motor design teams to ensure alignment between motor-level and material-level performance BACKGROUND PROFILE:
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electromagnetic Engineering or related field Minimum of 5 years of hands-on electric motor design experience with focus on electromagnetic analysis Experience with application-based motor design software tools (e.g., ANSYS Maxwell, Motor-CAD, JMAG, COMSOL) Familiarity with thermal modeling and mechanical integration Excellent time management skills with a proven ability to meet deadlines Effective written and verbal communication skills that adapt to the audience (e.g., internal vs. customers)
