About the Role
You will own end-to-end motor architecture for robotic subsystems, from electromagnetic design through production validation. You will create efficient, quiet, scalable motor solutions; simulate and optimize motor performance; validate controls and feedback systems; develop specifications and life tests; and collaborate on manufacturing and cost improvements.
Requirements
- Technical degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Physics with an electromagnetics focus
- 5+ years designing motors for high-volume consumer products or automotive applications
- Understanding of motor physics, electromagnetics, thermal dynamics, and rotordynamics
- Track record of shipping custom BLDC, PMSM, or reluctance motor designs
- Experience with ANSYS Maxwell, JMAG, or Motor-CAD
- Expertise in FOC, sensorless control, and active vibration damping
- Understanding of motor acoustics, including slot/pole combinations and skewing
- Experience with bearing systems, lubrication, and tribology
- Familiarity with winding, magnetization, and balancing processes
- Knowledge of UL and CE safety standards for motor-driven appliances
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end motor architecture from electromagnetic design through production validation
- Design custom motor solutions for acoustic performance, efficiency, form factor, cost, and production scale
- Perform electromagnetic FEA simulations for motor optimization
- Select and validate motor-control algorithms, drive electronics, and feedback systems
- Develop motor specifications balancing torque density, thermal management, and acoustic emissions
- Design accelerated life-testing protocols for motor failure modes
- Collaborate with suppliers on rotor and stator designs, winding patterns, and manufacturing processes
- Drive cost reductions through design, material, and manufacturing-process optimization
- Work with NVH, controls, and thermal teams on system-level optimization
Benefits
- Equity through the discretionary equity program
- Medical coverage
- Dental coverage
- Vision coverage
- Access to a 401(k) plan
