Electric Motor Mechanical Design Engineer

The Electric Motor Mechanical Design Engineer is responsible for the E-Motors' Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, and Assembly for automotive electrification applications. This role includes the development of the Mechanical design and specification of different E-Motors for all types of Electrified Propulsions (LV/HV for MHEVs, PHEVs, and BEVs) and will provide technical guidance & direction to other E-Motor Design domains. The Engineer will also drive mechanical design assessments for purchased designs as well as standards, requirements & analysis of in-house designs. The candidate will stay abreast of new E-Motors technology including Benchmarking and Lead the Mechanical Design and Assembly activities and development. The Engineer will also participate in E-Motors technical roadmap and develop different Mechanical concepts of E-Motor Systems to meet vehicle requirements.
