Emachine- Product Verification & Validation
Cube Hub Inc. • Fargo, North Dakota, United States
Role & seniority: Engineering role (likely mid-level) focused on PV&V for electric motor systems; 24-month contract, onsite.
Stack/tools: CREO (preferred for fixtures), Windchill (drawings/parts/assemblies), data acquisition gear (accelerometers, thermistors, current transducers, VNAs); PV&V management in VISION system.
Top 3 responsibilities
-
Develop and execute test plans from inception to completion; review onsite lab setups and data with technicians.
-
Document activities in VISION; provide hands-on training for PV&V tools; maintain production/test documentation and close out activities.
-
Perform simple instrumentation/testing and motor teardown analysis; support program management tasks (planning, checklists, tests tracking).
Must-have skills
-
2+ years with rotating components, electric machines, motor testing, and/or inverter/electrification testing.
-
Experience with data acquisition equipment and instrumentation; strong written/verbal communication.
-
Proficiency with Windchill and Creo or willingness to learn CREO; ability to travel up to 25%.
-
Bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, or related field.
Nice-to-haves
-
EMC/EMI knowledge; prior CAD experience beyond CREO/Windchill scope.
-
Location & work type: Onsite, 24-month contract; travel to labs (driving/flying) up to ~25%. Metatarsal shoes required onsite.
Full Description
24 Months Contract; Onsite; for this position. Metatarsal shoes are needed.
HM NOTES 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
