Senior Electric Motor Design Engineer - Humanoid

Your mission & challenges

We are looking for a Senior Electric Motor Design Engineer to lead the design and development of high-performance motors for robotic actuators. You will work on motors that demand extreme torque density, compact packaging, and high efficiency while operating within the tight constraints of humanoid robotic systems.

You will collaborate closely with mechanical, power electronics, controls, and robotics teams to create integrated actuation solutions.

• Design and develop high-performance electric motors optimized for torque density, efficiency, and dynamic response

• Perform electromagnetic design and simulation of advanced motor topologies

• Optimize motor architecture considering:

  • electromagnetic performance

  • thermal management

  • manufacturability

  • integration with gearboxes and sensors

• Work with multidisciplinary teams to integrate motors into robotic actuator systems

• Conduct performance testing and validation of motor prototypes

• Evaluate and incorporate emerging technologies in electromagnetic machines

• Drive iterative design improvements based on test results and system requirements

• Contribute to system-level actuator architecture
