Description:
Your Responsibilities
Contribute to the Product Verification & Validation (PV&V) of electric machines, including creating PV&V plans and activities in VISION, tracking activities in VISION, creating work requests and reporting out Activity Completion Rating (ACR) to leadership.
Work collaboratively with both internal and external customers and stakeholders ensuring cohesive and seamless support to define, execute and deliver the PV&V plan and activities for electric machines using design analysis, simulation, lab tests, field tests, etc. to ensure the design meets the application requirements for safety, performance, quality, reliability and cost.
Contribute to the interpretation and implementation of standards, specifications and regulations relative to electric machines as they apply to the product.
Deliver small-scale or medium-scale projects while working within an established program management plan.
Develop own capabilities by participating in assessment and development planning activities as well as formal and informal training and coaching; gain or maintain external professional accreditation where relevant to improve performance and fulfill personal potential. Maintain an understanding of relevant technology, external regulation, and industry best practices through ongoing education, attending conferences, and reading specialist media.
Create and maintain complex technical and/or user documentation to a high standard and back up files to ensure instant recovery if problems occur.
What Skills Are Needed
2 years experience working with rotating components, electric machine design, test, or implementation.
Knowledge of data acquisition equipment and instrumentation such as accelerometers, thermistors, current transducers and vector network analyzers.
Strong written and verbal communications skills
Ability to travel up to 25%. Driving to Labs in other locations.
Experience working in Windchill and Creo
What Makes You Stand Out
Knowledge of related electric drive components (inverters, connectors, energy storage, etc.).
Knowledge in analytical details of electric machine types and design (continuous and peak load evaluation, electromagnetics, bearings, insulating materials, cooling and manufacturability).
Experience in working across groups with co-workers to share knowledge and work toward common goals.
Knowledge of accelerated test methods
Works without supervision and provides technical guidance when required on testing, evaluating and improving engineering outcomes.
Works without supervision and provides technical guidance when required on measuring and reporting progress toward intermediate targets to make sure a project stays on track to achieve its ultimate goals.
Works with guidance (but not constant supervision) to manage projects and/or programs within desired cost, time and quality parameters.
Knowledge and experience in virtual verification
2 years experience with the VISION system creating activities, PV&V plans, work requests, ACR charts, and scheduling activities.
Education Details
Bachelor's of Science degree in electrical, mechanical, or a related field of study
Technical Skills & Tools:
CREO experience is ideal: May need to develop test fixtures, conduct non-standard spec tests.
Windchill usage: Create/review drawings, manage parts and assemblies, understand mechanical details.
Prior CAD experience is sufficient, but willingness to learn CREO and Windchill required.
EMC/EMI knowledge is a plus.
Qualifications:
Preferred: Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
Minimum: Associate degree in a relevant area.
Must have hands-on experience with electric motors (emotors), electrical and mechanical systems.
Experience in Electro Magnetic or Electric Motor applications is critical; this outweighs experience with VISION/CREO.
Must be able to work independently and hit the ground running.
Key Factors for Consideration:
Proven experience with electric motors (especially Electro Magnetic experience) is the highest priority.
Program management, technical documentation, and proactive communication with design, PV&V, and supplier teams are essential
Metatarsal shoes are needed.
