Electromagnetics Engineer

Location: Onsite

Employment Type: Full-Time

Experience Level: Senior

Industry: Electric Propulsion, Aerospace, Advanced Electric Mobility

We are seeking a Senior Electromagnetics Engineer to lead the electromagnetic design and optimization of high-power axial flux electric motors (35450 kW) for next-generation electric propulsion systems. This role is critical to achieving industry-leading power density, efficiency, thermal performance, and reliability in demanding propulsion environments.

You will own the electromagnetic architecture from concept through production support, working cross-functionally with mechanical, thermal, power electronics, and systems engineering teams.

• Lead electromagnetic design and optimization of axial flux motors for electric propulsion applications.
• Develop motor topologies optimized for high torque density, efficiency, and fault tolerance across 35450 kW operating range.
• Perform 2D/3D electromagnetic simulations (steady-state, transient, harmonic, and loss analysis).
• Optimize magnet selection, slot/pole combinations, winding configurations, and flux paths.
• Conduct electromagnetic-thermal trade studies in collaboration with thermal engineers.
• Analyze and mitigate torque ripple, cogging torque, acoustic noise, and demagnetization risks.
• Support DFMEA, design reviews, and validation testing, including correlation of simulation results with test data.
• Collaborate closely with power electronics teams on inverter compatibility, switching harmonics, and control strategies.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical standards and best practices.

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electromagnetics, or a closely related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in electric motor electromagnetic design.
• Demonstrated experience designing axial flux motors (radial flux experience alone is insufficient).
• Strong expertise in high-power electric machines (35 kW), preferably for propulsion.
• Advanced proficiency in electromagnetic simulation tools such as:
• ANSYS Maxwell / Motor-CAD
• JMAG
• COMSOL Multiphysics
• Deep understanding of:
• Magnetic materials and permanent magnets (NdFeB, SmCo)
• Loss mechanisms (iron, copper, magnet, stray losses)
• Saturation, demagnetization, and fault conditions
• Experience taking designs from concept to prototype and production support.

• Experience in electric aircraft, eVTOL, marine propulsion, or high-performance EVs.
• Knowledge of DO-160, DO-254, or similar aerospace qualification standards.
• Familiarity with multiphysics optimization (EM + thermal + mechanical).
• Exposure to manufacturing constraints for axial flux machines (lamination stacking, magnet placement, winding automation).
• Background in IPMSM or PMSM control interactions.

• Opportunity to design state-of-the-art electric propulsion systems at the forefront of electrification.
• High technical ownership and influence over core product architecture.
• Collaborative, fast-moving engineering environment.
• Competitive compensation, equity (if applicable), and comprehensive benefits.
