Motor Design

Role & responsibilities

• Responsible for conceptualisation and design of high efficiency, high performance Switched reluctance motor (SRM), Synchronous reluctance motor (SynchREL), PMSM/BLDC Motor & Generator design & development for electric vehicle and hybrid vehicle applications (2W/3W and light three-wheeler). Electrical design of motor/generator & electromagnetic analysis using FLUX, MAXWELL & SPEED software.
• Comparing different types of motors for EV & HEV applications through software allowing for quick comparisons between machine types, machine designs, pole numbers, winding topologies etc.
• Responsible for working with Electromagnetic design engineers to develop mechanically and thermally feasible designs. Build & prove concept design with tight timing constraints. Working with and be involved in testing & validation of electric machines as per relevant standards on dyno and on the vehicle.
• Benchmarking and generation of ideas for better performance, quality, cost, weight.
• Ability to solve novel, difficult design problems with tight timing constraints.

Preferred candidate profile

• strong knowledge of the mechanical design of motors & good understanding of construction/manufacturing methods of electric machines.
• Thorough knowledge of different control strategies used for PMSM, PMBLDC, SynchREL and other motors. Knowledge of thermal management of motor & different cooling system designs and experience in electric vehicles & hybrid vehicles will be added advantage.
• Software skills: FLUX, MAXWELL, MotorCAD, SPEED, Matlab/SIMULINK with knowledge of SIMSCAPE , python. 3D modelling tool (UG NX preferred) experience is an added advantage.
• Design and development of electric traction motors for Low/Medium/High voltage for Electric Vehicle (EV) applications.
• Hands on experience on Motor sizing, Permanent magnet selection and Electromagnetic design using state of art of Emag tools like Maxwell 2D/3D & Altair Flux.
• Hands on experience on different motor design such as IM, IPM, SynRM, Hub Motor Switched Reluctance motor etc.,
• Electric machine design and analysis using state of art of eMag tools like Ansys Maxwell (2D/3D)/ Altair Flux/Motor CAD.
• Strong understanding of power electronics and thermal aspects of the motor.
• Hands on Experience in thermal 1D thermal analysis using Motor CAD.
