Graduate Electric Machine Design Engineer

Reporting to the Principal Electric Machine Engineer, the successful graduate will be able to demonstrate an enthusiasm and capability in this high-profile electrical machine design and development role through their education. The work will involve designing and developing high performance rotating electrical machines for Zytek’s innovative electric and hybrid power trains. The candidate should be capable of working from broad requirements and be able to communicate thoughts and ideas to other technical specialists within a multi-disciplined team. This role is an ideal opportunity for a recent Graduate with limited experience of electrical machines to join our newly appointed engineer programme.

Job Description:

  • Interpretation of machine requirements in collaboration with systems, hardware and mechanical engineers to generate detailed formal specifications.
  • Conceptual design from first principals applied to permanent magnet, reluctance and induction machine types.
  • Progressing machine designs from ideas to prototypes with the development of detailed models and supporting engineering documentation, through to participating in prototype build, testing and validation.
  • Generation and execution of machine specific test plans, engineering documentations and failure investigation reports.
  • Generation and formal review of technical documentation from the design process.
  • Participation in FMEA, HAZOP and other similar review techniques.
