POWERTECH is a center of excellence for propulsion technologies, specializing in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of combustion engines, expendable turbojet engines, and turbofan engines for a wide range of aerospace, defence, and autonomous applications, including fixed- and rotary-wing UAVs and other advanced platforms.
Position Summary:
The Electric Motor Senior Engineer is responsible for the
design, development, certification support, and lifecycle management of electric motors
used in
aerospace, defense, and automotive propulsion systems
. The role focuses on delivering
high-reliability, safety-critical, and high-performance electric machines
that meet stringent regulatory, environmental, and operational requirements.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the
design and development of electric motors
for propulsion applications, includinge-propulsion, hybrid systems, auxiliary power units, and actuation systems
. - Define motor architectures considering
power density, efficiency, thermal limits, redundancy, and fault tolerance
. - Develop detailed
electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical designs
, including winding topology, materials, cooling, and insulation systems. - Serve as a
technical authority
during design reviews, trade studies, and technical risk assessments. - Conduct
advanced electromagnetic, thermal, and structural simulations
using industry-standard tools (e.g., ANSYS Maxwell, JMAG, Motor-CAD, MATLAB/Simulink). - Optimize designs for
efficiency, NVH, weight, reliability, and survivability
under extreme operating conditions. - Support
motor-inverter-control system integration
, including torque control, efficiency mapping, and fault detection strategies. - Define and support
prototype builds, qualification testing, and validation activities
, including performance, endurance, vibration, thermal cycling, and environmental testing. - Analyze test results, lead root-cause investigations, and implement corrective design actions.
- Support
certification and compliance activities
in line with applicable standards and regulations (e.g.,
DO-160, DO-254, MIL-STD, ISO 26262, IEC/ISO standards
). - Provide engineering support for
production ramp‑up, field issues, and in‑service performance improvements
. - Work closely with
power electronics, controls, systems engineering, mechanical, test, and quality teams
. - Interface with
customers, suppliers, and regulatory stakeholders
on technical matters. - Mentor junior engineers and contribute to
technical capability building and knowledge transfer
within Powertech Engines. - Collaborate with manufacturing and supply chain teams to ensure
design for manufacturability, quality, and repeatability
.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in
Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
. - Master’s degree or PhD in
Electric Machines, Power Engineering, or Propulsion Systems
is highly preferred. - 8+ years of experience
in electric motor design for
aerospace, defense, or automotive propulsion systems
