Senior Industry:

Electric Propulsion, Aerospace, Advanced Electric Mobility About the Role We are seeking a

Senior Electromagnetics Engineer

to lead the electromagnetic design and optimization of

high-power axial flux electric motors (35–450 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. Key Responsibilities

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 35–450 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. Required Qualifications

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 . Preferred / Nice-to-Have Qualifications

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 . What We Offer

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.
