Job Title:  Engineer- Electro-Magnetics

Scope of Role:

An electro-magnetic engineer with over 3 years of product development experience to assist in the ongoing design and production of electric motors and generators for aerospace, defence and oil and gas industries. The candidate will be part of a multi-disciplinary team including project managers, mechanical and electrical engineers, aerodynamicists and manufacturing engineers, working collaboratively to deliver technology roadmap products and sustaining engineering support. Their input will be broad with activities spanning the full product development lifecycle including assisting Principal Engineers in bids/proposals for new development contracts, driving R&D activities by identifying design/production innovations and providing legacy production support.

Main Duties/Responsibilities

· The design of electro-magnetic devices such as BLDC, Synchronous PM and Induction motors & generators, and desirable to produce derivative designs of electro-magnetic sensors such as resolvers.

· Concept analysis and design trade off across a range of motor technologies

· Where necessary, conduct electro-magnetic FE analysis and magnetic circuit calculations using software tools such as MotorCAD and Ansys Maxwell etc.

· Carry out system performance (motor/controller) simulation and impact on motor design and requirements using software tools, such as MotorCAD.

· Define acceptance and qualification requirements and complete testing on new and existing wound product devices.

· Support team in sales visits/discussions with customer.

· Support production issues on electro-magnetic products.

· Produce engineering reports, specifications, compliance statements, procedures to a high standard.

· Able to produce and review engineering documents such as drawings, specifications, reports and procedures.

· Work effectively within multidisciplinary and inter-departmental teams to support the New Product Introduction process.

· Work within company procedures and contribute to their development, the objective being to maximise company efficiency whilst meeting all customer requirements.

· Support the preparation of technical proposals, costings and associated documentation to support business development.
