Role description:


As a Mechanical Design Engineer specializing in Rotor and Stator Lamination Stacks, you will play a crucial role in the design and development of electric motor components. Your expertise will contribute to the creation of optimal solutions for shape, size, and material selection. This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and make a significant impact on the future of electric motor technology. Apply here today!


Role responsibilities:
Conduct mechanical design of rotor and stator lamination stacks, ensuring efficient and effective assembly methods (interlocking, gluing) and considering material knowledge on magnetic steel laminations.
Utilize CAD software (specifically CREO) for 3D modeling and drawings, creating detailed designs that meet technical requirements and specifications.
Collaborate with electromagnetic designers and the structural analysis team to iterate designs and provide optimal solutions for shape, size, and material choice.
Perform basic structural analysis and calculations to ensure the structural integrity of the designs under static and dynamic loads.
Collaborate with the test team to define and plan necessary test activities for the validation of the design.
Work closely with the purchasing department to identify and select suppliers for the concerned components, considering factors such as quality, cost, and delivery.

Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electromechanical Engineering. A Master's degree is preferred.
5-7 years of experience in the field of electric motor design, with a focus on stator and rotor lamination stack design.
Proficiency in CAD software, particularly CREO, for 3D design and drawings.
Strong knowledge of stack assembly methods such as interlocking and gluing.
Familiarity with material properties and manufacturing methods related to magnetic steel laminations and stacks (e.g., laser cutting, punching, welding, gluing, interlock).
Experience in tolerancing for press fit and shrink fit applications.
Ability to design for structural integrity, considering static and dynamic loads.
Experience working with suppliers, evaluating their capabilities and selecting appropriate partners.
Knowledge of CAE tools and skills in FEM simulation are considered a meritorious asset.



Personal qualifications:


We believe that you are an action-oriented team player with the ability to successfully drive yours and the team’s joint tasks to completion. You have a strategic ability to understand, identify and adapt to future needs and challenges. You also have adequate planning and organizing abilities.
