ANSYS-Maxwell or SIEMENS-Simcenter MAGNETRole Overview

We are looking for a capable, detail-oriented, and innovation-driven Electrical Design Engineer to strengthen our R&D team focused on High Tension (HT) Motors and Generators. The role demands a strong foundation in electromagnetic design, proven hands-on experience in rotating electrical machines, and the ability to translate concepts into reliable, manufacturable products. Candidates must be comfortable working end-to-end--from concept design and simulation to prototype development, testing, and design optimization.

Key ResponsibilitiesElectrical & Electromagnetic Design

Design and develop HT motors and generators, covering winding layouts, magnetic circuit design, core design, insulation system architecture, rotor/stator configuration, and slot/lamination selection. Perform detailed electromagnetic calculations, sizing, and performance modelling. Conduct advanced FEA simulations (e.g.,

ANSYS-Maxwell, SIEMENS-Simcenter MAGNET or equivalent)

for torque, losses, flux density, saturation, thermal behavior, noise/vibration impact, and fault conditions. Define insulation class, dielectric clearances, creepage distances, and thermal management methods following HT standards.

Materials & Component Selection

Select materials for windings, varnishes, insulation systems, laminations, magnets (for PM machines), shaft materials, and cooling systems (IC classifications). Evaluate vendor components for technical suitability and cost-performance trade-offs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with mechanical design engineers to ensure rotor dynamics, cooling systems, bearings, enclosure design, and structural aspects are fully aligned with electrical design requirements. Coordinate with manufacturing engineering to ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability and reliability in a heavy-engineering environment. Support supply chain and quality teams during vendor evaluations, audits, and sample approvals.

Testing, Validation & Optimization

Develop test plans, type test protocols, and validation criteria for prototypes and production units. Analyze test data, troubleshoot issues, and refine designs for improved performance, reliability, and durability. Optimize existing motor/generator platforms for efficiency enhancement, cost reduction, and standardization. Participate in root-cause investigations for field failures or performance deviations.

Documentation & Compliance

Prepare and maintain design documentation: BOMs, detailed design calculations, simulation reports, test reports, DVP&R, FMEA inputs, and technical datasheets. Ensure compliance with applicable electrical machine standards: IEC 60034 series, IS Standards, IEEE, NEMA (as required). Support certification processes and customer-specific qualification requirements.

Key RequirementsEducational Background

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (preferably with specialization in Machines/Power/Electromagnetics).

Experience

1-3 years of experience (flexible based on seniority level needed) in design of rotating electrical machines in the 100 kW to multi-MW class. Proven experience with HT motors/generators; exposure to PM machines is highly desirable. Hands-on experience with electromagnetic and thermal simulation tools: ANSYS Maxwell, Motor-CAD, RMxprt, Simcenter MAGNET, or similar.

Technical Skills

Strong understanding of: Motor winding schemes (single/double-layer, lap/wave, concentric etc.). Magnetic circuit design, core loss minimization, saturation limits. Dielectric design, insulation systems, partial discharge considerations for HT machines. Thermal management and cooling methods (air, water, IC classifications). Protection concepts for HT motors (differential protection, thermal protection, vibration, overspeed). Ability to do first-principles calculations without relying solely on software.
