Electrical Engineer Design, Columbus, OH

The Design Engineer will be responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing electrical components. This role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to create innovative solutions that meet performance, efficiency, and reliability requirements.

• Create detailed designs for electrical components and systems, including rotors, stators, windings, and housings, using CAD software.
• Perform finite element analysis (FEA) and thermal/electromagnetic simulations to optimize motor performance and ensure compliance with design specifications.
• Develop prototypes and conduct testing to validate designs, troubleshoot issues, and improve performance metrics such as efficiency, torque, and durability.
• Work closely with manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply chain teams to ensure designs are manufacturable, cost-effective, meet industry standards, and ensure product specifications meet or exceed expectations.
• Prepare technical documentation, including design specifications, test reports, and bill of materials (BOM), to support product development and production processes.
• Identify opportunities to enhance designs for improved efficiency, reduced weight, and lower production costs.
• Ensure designs comply with relevant industry standards and environmental regulations.
• Manage multiple design projects simultaneously, meeting deadlines and maintaining high-quality standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in design engineering.
• 2 years focused on electrical design.
• Familiarity with Six Sigma or Lean manufacturing principles.
• Proficiency in CAD software.
• Experience with FEA tools for structural, thermal, and electromagnetic analysis.
• Knowledge of motor design principles, including electromagnetic theory, thermal management, and material selection.
