KO2's client is a cutting-edge, well-funded, rapidly scaling technology startup developing next-generation electric propulsion and advanced motor technologies. Backed by significant investment and ambitious growth plans, they are building a world-class engineering team to tackle some of the most challenging problems in electrification and sustainable mobility.
This is a rare opportunity to have a direct impact on the development of revolutionary electric machine technologies while working in a highly innovative and fast-paced environment.
As a Senior Electromagnetic Design Engineer, you will lead the design, simulation, optimisation, and validation of advanced electric machines for high-performance applications. You'll work on breakthrough technologies that push the boundaries of power density, efficiency, and reliability, helping bring innovative products from concept through to real-world deployment.
Working closely with multidisciplinary teams across mechanical, thermal, controls, systems, and validation engineering, you'll play a key role in shaping the company's future products and technology roadmap.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and develop advanced electric machines including PMSM, IPM, Halbach array, and Vernier motor topologies.
* Lead electromagnetic design activities for high-power electric propulsion systems and next-generation electrification products.
* Perform detailed electromagnetic analysis, simulation, and optimisation to maximise performance, efficiency, and power density.
* Conduct loss modelling including iron losses, permanent magnet losses, AC copper losses, and thermal performance assessments.
* Perform fault and failure mode analysis, including short-circuit conditions, inverter faults, demagnetisation studies, and unbalanced magnetic force investigations.
* Develop analytical and simulation models to support design decisions and product development.
* Drive optimisation studies using advanced tools and techniques including parametric design, sensitivity analysis, and automated workflows.
* Support prototype development, testing, validation, and continuous product improvement.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative, robust, and manufacturable engineering solutions.
* Contribute to technical innovation, intellectual property generation, and future technology development.
