Job description

The Electric Drive System (EDS) Design Engineer is responsible for the EDS’ overall Design and its components (e.g., Gearbox, Electric Machines, Power Inverter Module, etc.), Manufacturing, and Assembly for automotive electrification applications. This role includes the development of the Electrical, Mechanical, with extensive Thermal Management designs and specification of different EDSs for all types of Electrified Propulsions (LV/HV for MHEVs, PHEVs, and BEVs). This includes development of different CFD models (1D, 2D, 3D, etc.) and further development of EDS design process/methodologies. The engineer would run trade of studies, evaluate design proposals and recommend best technical EDS design. Also, this role will provide technical assistance to other EDS Core functional teams related to all Design Aspects. The Engineer will coordinate Simulation and dyno test activities. He/she will stay abreast of new EDS technology including Benchmarking and Lead the EDS Design activities and its subcomponents development. The Engineer will participate in EDS technical roadmap and develop different EDS design concepts to meet vehicle requirements.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent Engineering degree from an ABET accredited university
• 8+ years of industrial experience in design of BIC EDS [eMotor, PIM and Gearbox] for different electrified propulsion architecture and applications (BEVs), considering system efficiency, performance, NVH, cost and other system constraints
• 5+ years of Thermal Design and design for EDS
• Experience in Designing, Manufacturing and Assembly of different Thermal design topologies for EDS (e.g., Water-Jacket, Oil, Hybrid, Air, etc.)
• Experience with EDS Principles, Modeling, and Analysis using system optimization tools (Simcenter AMESIM)
• Extensive experience in EDS Simulations and Optimization tool.
• Extensive experience in EDS Thermal Simulations and Optimization tool (MATLAB, Simulink, MotorCAD, ANSYS, Fluent, Other CFD SW)
• Experience in EDS Design for Manufacturing and EDS for Assembly (DFMEA, PFEMA, DRBTR, DRBFM, etc.)
