Sr. Motor Design Engineer

The Senior Motor Design Engineer creates conceptual designs, performs electromechanical analyses, develops detailed designs, leads cross functional teams, supports product prototype and pilot build fabrication and testing, participates in reviews with customers, and provides customer support. The successful candidate must have design and test experience with motors (brushless DC, stepper, and/or AC induction motors), actuators, mechanisms, and electromagnetic design/analysis software.
