What you will be doing
Design and development of high-performance electrical machines, power electronics units, energy storage systems and electromechanical systems for aerospace applications by understanding and solving challenging engineering problems
Perform calculations and conduct some structural, thermal, and vibration analyses
Collaborate with electrical, thermal, systems engineers, interfacing parties and other stakeholders to optimise motor architecture and packaging.
Work closely with suppliers, manufacturing partners, and testing teams to lead design through from concept to production.
Navigate the design through gated review process, presenting technical justifications to Seniors Engineers and addressing regulatory compliance.
Create detailed 3D CAD models, assembly drawings, technical reports and other documentation in line with standards and processes that are self-checked and of high quality.
Formally manage technical risks, ensuring that the designs are Safe, Reliable and Durable.
Drive down technical risk through use of small-scale prototypes, material testing, manufacturing trials or similar, in order to complement and validate analyses
Work with Validation and Verification Engineers to develop a V&V strategy.
Identify and launch technology development activities to address technical risks where appropriate.
Who we are looking for
Bachelor's degree or Master's in Engineering or regional equivalent qualification, or equivalent experience
