Emachine Module Team Overview
Sourcing & Design Collaboration
Client does not manufacture their own electronic motors, instead sourcing them from a global supply base .
Motors are not purchased off-the-shelf; Client selects the right motor for the application and collaborates with suppliers and internal teams to adjust design features-such as electronic connectors, winders, rotor, and stators.
Example: Replacing pump with electric motor in certain applications.
Product Development & Testing
Active involvement in virtual simulation, analysis, and product verification/validation testing.
Adherence to Client's internal regulations and standards for testing.
Product Verification & Validation (PV&V) Team works closely with the design group and suppliers in all testing phases.
Job Responsibilities
Develop and execute test plans from inception to completion.
Onsite lab review: Visit labs to review test setups and data with lab technicians; ensure proper instrumentation is in place or recommend additional equipment.
Documentation: All activities documented in Client's VISION system (PV&V management tool); hands-on training provided for VISION usage.
Simple instrumentation/testing: May perform basic testing; involved in motor teardown after failure to analyze causes.
Focus on program management activities: planning, checklists, production documentation, tracking test plans, documenting results in VISION, and closing activities.
Technical Skills & Tools
CREO experience is ideal: May need to develop test fixtures, conduct non-standard spec tests.
Windchill usage: Create/review drawings, manage parts and assemblies, understand mechanical details.
Prior CAD experience is sufficient, but willingness to learn CREO and Windchill required.
EMC/EMI knowledge is a plus.
What Skills Are Needed
2 years experience working with rotating components, electric machine design, test, or implementation. 2 years testing electronic motors. Electric Motor experience, Inverter experience, and general electrification testing experience.
Knowledge of data acquisition equipment and instrumentation such as accelerometers, thermistors, current transducers and vector network analyzers.
Strong written and verbal communications skills
Ability to travel up to 25%. Driving to Labs in other locations. Will be a mix of driving and flying.
Experience working in Windchill and Creo
