About the role
Job Overview As an Electrical Machines Design Engineer , you will lead the design and development of cutting‑edge mechanical systems that push the boundaries of performance, reliability and innovation. If you thrive on solving complex engineering challenges, enjoy hands‑on development, and bring creativity and strong engineering judgement to your work, this role will be an excellent fit.
You’ll influence products from clean‑sheet concept through to production, working in an environment with onsite manufacturing and test facilities. You’ll have advanced tools and autonomy to deliver meaningful impact.
Key Responsibilities
In this role the Electrical Machine Design Engineer will be responsible for the following:
Support the design and optimisation of both the radial and the axial flux electric machines, including topology selection, sizing, optimisation and performance prediction
Conduct thermal analysis to ensure the motor performance, reliability and cooling efficiency
Perform electromagnetic, thermal and structural FEA using industry standard tools
Support drawing creation, prototype builds, testing and validation activities through multiple development phases
Work closely with mechanical, manufacturing and control teams to ensure seamless integration produce detailed design reports, specifications, and technical documentation
Support research into new materials, motor concepts and advance cooling concepts, and manufacturing improvements
Identify the opportunities to enhance motor performance, cost, manufacturability and efficiency
Involvement in the creation of project plans, with input to technical delivery, time plans and budgeting
Supporting the Quality department in investigations and inspection activities as well as assisting with improvements to company processes/procedures including manufacturing
Supporting the product team with the development of market analyses and gaining insights into customer needs.
The Requirements
Strong understanding of electromagnetics, electric motor physics, and thermal behaviour.
Proficiency with finite‑element analysis tools such as Ansys Maxwell, Ansys Mechanical, Siemens, JMag, and MotorCAD.
Ability to interpret test data and correlate findings with simulation results.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
Ability to work effectively within a multi‑disciplinary team and manage multiple projects concurrently.
Ability to create technical documentation and presentations.
Qualifications
A degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering at a minimum of 2:2 classification is required. A Masters or PhD in a relevant discipline is desirable.
Relevant experience could also be considered.
Bonus Points
It would be beneficial (but not essential) if in addition to the above you also had:
Experience in electromagnetic motor design
Experience with Axial flux machines
Experience in high volume manufacturing
Directly relevant design experience
Experience working within a manufacturing environment
Proven experience in electric motor design, ideally high-performance, high-power density motors
Experience with prototype build phases or within a manufacturing environment
Experience working with and managing external suppliers
Understanding of power electronics and motor control fundamentals
Experience with Failure mode analysis
Experience with DFMEA
