Job Summary

Responsible for the sustaining engineering of electric motor products, including design optimization, cost reduction, and production support.

Key Responsibilities

• Motor Design & Development
  • Responsible for mechanical structure design and development of motors, ensuring compliance with PRD requirements and quality standards.
  • Use CAD software for 3D modeling and 2D engineering drawing preparation.
  • Conduct tolerance analysis to meet manufacturing and assembly requirements.
  • Perform structural layout, critical dimension chain calculation, and tolerance analysis.
  • Lead selection of key components (permanent magnets, silicon steel sheets, insulation materials, bearings, etc.), establish technical specifications, and conduct technical exchanges with suppliers.
  • Output complete technical documentation including 2D/3D drawings, technical specifications (BOM, DFMEA), and test requisition forms.
  • Optimize and improve existing product structures to enhance competitiveness.
• VAVE (Value Analysis & Value Engineering)
  • Cost analysis and optimization: disassemble motor BOM costs, identify high‑cost components and cost‑reduction opportunities, and lead cross‑functional cost‑optimization projects.
  • Propose motor design improvement solutions: material substitution (e.g., copper wire winding optimization), structural lightweighting (cast iron to die‑cast aluminum), promote component integration and platform consolidation, and validate solution feasibility.
  • Supply‑chain collaboration for cost reduction: work with procurement to develop new suppliers, promote localized material substitution, and evaluate technical capabilities of tier‑2 suppliers.
• Mass Production Support & Maintenance
  • Provide technical support to manufacturing, quality control, and procurement departments to resolve design‑related issues.
  • Analyze motor failure issues from mass production or customer feedback, identify root causes, and propose improvement measures.
  • Initiate, review, and track implementation of design changes (ECN/ECR).
  • Establish CBB (Common Building Blocks) for motor components to promote standardization and reduce customization.
  • Participate in supplier technical reviews and capability assessments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Motor & Appliance Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automation, or Mechatronics.
• 5+ years in motor industry with knowledge of motor structure design and material selection.
• Understanding of basic motor manufacturing processes (winding, embedding, impregnation, welding, stamping, machining, dynamic balancing, magnet assembly, sealing, etc.).
• Basic electromagnetic design capability to interpret calculations from electromagnetic engineers.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks and other 2D/3D CAD tools.
• Fluent English communication (spoken and written).
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
• Ability to work under pressure with strong project management awareness (PMP certification preferred).
• Prior experience with low‑voltage AC motors or commercial vehicle motors preferred.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Strong learning ability and innovation mindset.
