The Job:

As a Project Engineer, Model Based Design – Electric Motors, you will be a key member of our internal Model Based Controls design team, responsible for:

· 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.

The Person:

You are eager to learn, grow, and be recognized for your contributions. You embrace innovation and strive to make a positive impact. You have:

· Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field (PhD preferred).

· 5+ years of experience in electromagnetic and thermal design of motors, with ability in model-based design.

· Proven experience with 2D and 3D finite element analysis tools for motor design.

· Experience in modeling 3-phase inverters, including thermal aspects.

· Strong knowledge of electrical system thermal modeling using lumped parameter circuits.

· Ability in MATLAB/Simulink and model-based development methodologies.

· Familiarity with MIL, SIL, and HIL testing environments.

· Experience with field-oriented control methods for brushless motor control (highly preferred).

· Knowledge of modelling of Lithium-ion battery system is a plus.
