Senior Motor Design Engineer for High-Volume Robotics

Matic Robots Inc.; Menlo Park (CA); In loco; USD 160.000 - 240.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Matic Robots Inc. in Menlo Park, CA, is seeking a Motor Design Expert to architect the actuators of its home robotics platform, delivering whisper-quiet, efficient motors scalable to 100k+ units/year.

You will own EM design through production, perform FEA, validate control algorithms, and collaborate across NVH, controls, and thermal teams to optimize performance, cost, and manufacturability.

Competenze

• Technical degree in Electrical, Mechanical engineering, or Physics with electromagnetics focus.
• 5+ years designing motors for high-volume consumer products or automotive applications.
• Shipping BLDC, PMSM, or reluctance motor designs in products.
• Experience with motor simulation tools ANSYS Maxwell, JMAG, or Motor-CAD.

Mansioni

• Own end-to-end motor architecture from electromagnetic design through production validation for all motorized subsystems.
• Design custom motor solutions optimizing for acoustic performance (<60dBA), efficiency (>85%), form factor, cost (<$15/unit), and scalability to 100k+ units/year.
• Perform electromagnetic FEA simulations for motor optimization including flux density, cogging torque, and back-EMF analysis.
• Select and validate motor control algorithms, drive electronics, and feedback systems for precise motion control.
• Develop motor specification requirements balancing torque density, thermal management, and acoustic emissions.
• Design accelerated life testing protocols specific to motor failure modes including bearing wear, insulation breakdown, and demagnetization.
• Collaborate with suppliers on custom rotor/stator designs, winding patterns, and manufacturing processes.
• Drive cost reduction initiatives through design optimization, material selection, and manufacturing process improvements.
• Work cross-functionally with NVH, controls, and thermal teams to achieve system-level optimization.
