Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, Electric Motors

What you'll do

• Design mass and volume optimized rotor and stator structures for high-performance electric motors.
• Perform structural and thermal finite element analysis (FEA) to optimize motor performance and reliability.
• Manage the full lifecycle of motor development from initial concept through production.
• Select and integrate components including bearings, electrical wiring, connectors, and sensors.
• Build prototypes, fixtures, and test hardware using CNC tools and 3D printing.
• Design hardware for outdoor commercial operation including ingress protection and environmental survival.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine requirements for UAV propulsion systems.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and 3+ years of experience.
• Experience with dynamic mechanical systems such as motors, actuators, and mechanisms.
• Strong 3D modeling (CAD) skills for complex parts and assemblies.
• Ability to perform basic structural and thermal finite element analysis (FEA).
• Proficiency in hands-on prototyping, metal fabrication, and 3D printing.
• Competence with assembly/test fixture design and electromechanical integration.
• Experience designing hardware for outdoor or harsh environments.
• Experience with electric motor manufacturing processes and equipment (preferred).
